True Blood is over for the season (booooo!), so I decided to pay tribute by doing my own vampy look, partially inspired by Pam, but also by the ubiquitous promotional image. I love a good statement lip, but sometimes I like to break the rules and pair it with dark eyes. On a side note, are my lashes growing yet? I've been using NeuLash for a few weeks now, but I can't tell if it's working or if I'm just making myself believe it is. That whole placebo thing gets me every time. /tangent
For the photo above, I used MAC Pro Longwear in Alta Moda, with a coat of the Mirror Gloss (it's sparkly and comes with the pro longwear). For the video, I switched it up and used a lipstick. Everything I used is mentioned in this horribly awkward video, so please check it out! Proceed with caution...I'm not meant for video!
Love love,
Keiko Lynn
Love your makeup! That lipstick color is such a perfect shade of red.

You've redone the promotional image wonderfully! Great way of paying hommage to such an awesome show!

Thank you so much for that! I am horrible with makeup so having it laid out step by step, along with visuals, is more than necessary! Beautiful finished product too! :)

ReplyDeletehappy monday!

Bit of a newcomer to the site so this is my first time to comment (hi!) but I'm loving your blog and really enjoyed this video.
ReplyDeleteDo you mind my asking where the sparkly black top you're wearing in the video is from? It's fab!

Before I even began reading your entry I was looking at your photo and thinking that you could totally be a vampire. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteLove the look!

Ahh, I see you've branched into YouTube Tutorials! Yea!!!
ReplyDeleteXX.
Mae Lu, thereafterish.
Great tutorials. It helps me. I really dont know how to put make up.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video! You lay your tutorials out so well anyway, but it always helps to have a video.
ReplyDeleteSo much better to know I'm not the only one who gets the giggle-fits. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial!
I love this video, it's not awkward at all! You definitely are meant for video! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've been reading your blogs on and off since LJ and it was cool to see you on video! Haha. I was wondering, you've probably already talked about it, but what do you do now? I know you did make clothes before, but I've noticed designers seem to gift you things a lot and I was wondering if you're a stylist now or something?
ReplyDeleteAnyway, love the video, I'm trying to get more into makeup, I'm not so great at it!

Not meant for video? I loved it! So great to get some tips from someone REAL, you're so easy to watch and that look is amazing on you. Thanks for sharing your secrets with us!
ReplyDeleteHow am I going to live without True Blood for months? Waaah.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the great tutorial.
ReplyDeleteYour lips are ultimate perfection. :)
xx, Alice from bells and whistles.
Ps: Feel free to check out my Blog. I would be honoured. ;)
Very pretty, I wish I could pull off red lipstick but it never looks quite right.
ReplyDeleteI really like the video!! It's so helpful to actually see step by step what you do. I'm a visual learner ;)
ReplyDeleteExactly the sort of make-up I like to wear for nights out :)
ReplyDeletewww.purelovefashionn.blogspot.com
I like true blood and I loved that you made a video for us!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm gonna watch it right now :)
this look is gorgeous on you! that lipcolor is so pretty....its always fun to do makeup looks that are different from the ones you normally wear, like playing dress up :)
ReplyDeleteas usual, awesome post. i loved the video, but i did miss your annotated make up photos. they're such an original way of doing a 'tutorial'. even though i've heard your voice before, it still surprises me. that is totally not how i'd ever imagined you'd sound.
ReplyDeletewow, the make up is so nice, I see you are a talented blogger, good for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat tutorial! The make-up looks fabulous and I'm tempted to try that look some time. Though I'm afraid that the look would be to dark on me.
ReplyDeleteIt's also so nice to hear you speak - I like your voice!
You're SO good at makeup application, oh my god! such a good video, not awkward at all! you're so pretty :D
ReplyDeleteKeiko, you need to keep doing videos for Makeup Monday. I think with your help I might finally learn to do makeup like a real girl. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat video! You look amazing :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for this post!! I'm so bad at applying makeup and always end up looking like a drag queen he he ;) I think I'm going to try it out tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteOohh your lashes do look longer :) (not that they needed lengthening though!) xxx
You look AH-mazing. That red is to die for. I have issues with the MAC pro longwear - it dries my lips out way too much. :(
ReplyDeleteI miss True Blood already!
Glad you did a tutorial! You're very sweet and funny.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice week.
Oh I love this look... not sure I could ever re-create it for myself, but you can pull it off perfectly! :)

I love your blog and I think that you should do more youtube makeup tutorials! :)
ReplyDeletei love pam's make up every week and i think you captured it really well!! love the depth of the lip color. very very pretty!

ReplyDeleteAww your tutorial is super cute, not awkward at all!

Thanks for the video!
ReplyDeleteNice m/u! That shade of lipstick is so pretty~

keyko i love when you post videos! it's as if i could get to know you a lil bit more! i think you're the coolest blogger by far! and so beautiful! you inspire me everyday!
ReplyDeleteYou were amazing!! I loved the video. Your makeup was great I loved the combo. Definitely got the whole vamp thing gong for sure.
ReplyDeletegreat tutorial! I am so bad at getting a perfect lip- it tends to bleed just enough where it never comes out the way your lipstick application does. I'm going to try out the lip brushes for darker colors and see if that works for me too.
ReplyDeletethanks for this! by the way- the mirror problem is because in iMovie (guessing that's what you're using) it's showing you the finalized product in real time, which is as if someone is standing in front of you (mirrored image). if you want to see it without it being mirrored, use photo booth. it doesn't matter for the internet, but if you want your visitors to be able to read stuff, you'll have to figure out how to mirror the video later (if you have a program for that).
I'll try it today!
ReplyDeleteLoved it! BTW, can you mention where you got your sparkly jacket at? That would be wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThanks, everyone!
ReplyDeleteThe sparkly black jacket is BB Dakota - I got it at the Fred Flare sample sale! It was $10. It's kind of a pain, though - the sequins stick to each other.
Melinda,
ReplyDeleteI still make clothing! Postlapsaria is my main source of income. I just don't sell quite as much online anymore; I've been focusing on wholesale and custom orders. Hoping that will change for the holidays:)
Wendy: I don't know how I'm going to live without it. Why was this season so short?!
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I love "True Blood." I tell everyone it's "girl porn." LOL :X
ReplyDeleteSecondly, you are totally meant for video! You would make a great makeup guru, so I hope you continue to do these!
Make is great!!! I like your blogg and clothes :)
ReplyDeleteyou have such striking features, gorgeous! keep it up :)
ReplyDeletecheck out my blog :)

<3 you are def meant for video! your voice is always surprising :)
ReplyDeleteee! i just noticed you used my mirror :D
ReplyDeleteI actually read somewhere that people with dark hair and fair skin can wear bold eye make-up and a bold lip color. So, since I love that look and have fair skin... I chose to believe it. :D
ReplyDeleteI even dyed my hair a couple shades darker so my favorite style of make up would look better on me. :D

This is the first time I've seen you in motion, YOU'RE SO CUUUTEE!!! Hahaha loved your voice!
ReplyDeleteLooove dark lip colours, they can be so challenging but it's so worth it. Do you think it's OK to just wear lipliner (all over, not just a line...haha) without lipstick over it?
ReplyDelete-Anna
Great Tutorial! :] Love your make-up ;]

Love Make-Up Mondays but especially in video tutorial - so cute!
ReplyDeleteKeep it up!

I hate to sound so gushy, but you really do makeup better than any other blogger I follow. And you make it look easy! Thanks for the tutorial, I don't usually do as many steps in my own routine, but it seems like they really do make all the difference. I'm excited to try out this look!

You did such a wonderful job on the video - seriously! Better than a lot of the youtube make-up gurus! I loved it.
ReplyDeletexo Robyn of Rhitbee-isms
How great to see you acting in a video! Do it more often, please - you're great!
ReplyDelete1. Love True Blood.
ReplyDelete2. So when you determine if neu lash is worth it - will you post something about it? I have short eyelashes and I want them to be long and girly (think human-form of Snuffaluffagus). I tried Latisse and it irritated my eyelids too much. I tried a bamboo one and that didn't work very well either. I am currently trying one you can get a walgreens (maybeline? rimmel? something??), which said some ridiculous statistic like 90% of users saw a difference in length and volume month, and apparently I am in the 10%!
I don't want to get extensions (again) because they are expensive and kind of a pain in the butt...
Thanks!
My husband and I love "True Blood". We even have a mug (pic on blog)
ReplyDeleteI love the lipstick shades...thanks for the recommendation. I have to check it out.
Thanks so much for posting the video! As a novice to applying make-up, it's really nice to see someone who knows what they're doing actually show how to apply. Even seeing the way you use your brushes is educational for me; much more help than photos alone. I'm wondering for a future make-up Monday if you could talk about the type of foundations and bases. For instance, in this video you mentioned you were wearing Smashbox Photo Finish and MAC Mineralized Skin Finish. I'd love to know what those are and why you wear them; so, I guess a post focusing on the basics. Thanks and keep it up. Annie.
ReplyDeleteWholesale Glow bracelets and Wholesale glow necklaces are considered novelty party products. They are referred to as Wholesale glow sticks necklaces and bracelets sometimes because they are in essence special size glow sticks.

what is the name of the lipstick you used? not the alta moda prologwear- the but the lipstick you used in the video?? looks great!
ReplyDeleteI found your blog via pinterest, I'm so glad I did! You have such a fun and informative blog! I was wondering what the name of the lipstick is? It's such a beautiful rich color. I googled it but nothing came up so I must be spelling it wrong. Looks like the Alta Moda is now discontinued, I'm hoping the one you used isn't as well. Thank you for such a great blog, I'll be checking it often!
