E.L.F. Villainous Villains: Evil Queen Day and Night!

Today I am bringing you another one of the looks that I created using the E.L.F. Villainous Villains books. This time, I used the Evil Queen Devious Dramatic Eyes Book. I followed the directions for the eye looks, making minor changes where I saw fit. And here are the finished looks.

Left: Day Evil, Right: Night Villain

For the Day Evil look, I followed the directions for the look exactly. The only change I made was to use the Elf cream eyeliner rather than the liquid liner, simply because I find the cream eyeliner easier to work with. I'm wearing NYC Instant Lash mascara for the day look. For my lips, I used the lip color that came with the book, and I topped it with the elf super glossy lip shine in flirt for some added shine. on my cheeks is the Elf HD blush in superstar.

For the Night look, I again followed the directions exactly. The only change I made was to add a bit of the shimmery brown along my lower lash line, and again to use the cream eyeliner in black. I used two coats of maybelline the falsies mascara for some extra drama. On my lips is the Night lip color from the book. I found these lip colors to be a bit hard, but applied over top of a lip balm they became easier to work with. On top of the lip color, I used Elf Luscious liquid lipstick in bark. On my cheeks is the blush from the Elf contouring blush and bronzing duo in Turks and Caicos.

The directions for these looks were very easy to follow. For the day look, I found the eyeshadows to be less pigmented than I would like, even over top of a primer. The night eyeshadows were very pleasant to work with, pigmented and easily blended. Overall, I do like this book, I just wish the day eyeshadows had been a bit more pigmented.

So what did you think of these looks? Let me know in the comments below. And be sure to be on the lookout for the last looks in this series, the Maleficent Smoky looks!

E.L.F. Villainous Villains: Cruella Day and Night!

Some of you said you were interested in seeing looks from the E.L.F. Villainous Villain collection and I was happy to oblige. First up is the Cruella Everyday Eyes book. I followed the instructions in the book to create both a day eye and a night eye. I used only the eyeshadows from the book. I did not sure the lip and cheek colors, because I wanted to out my own spin on the looks. I didn't use the eyelid primer from the book, because I already have an Elf eyelid primer open, and I used that. I also didn't use the liquid eyeliner from the book, because again, I already have a black Elf liquid eyeliner open. So let me show you the looks and then I will tell you a bit about them.

Left: Day Evil Right: Night Villain

The instructions for the day look called for the eyes to be lined in liquid eyeliner. I find liquid eyeliner to be pretty harsh for daytime, so I switched it up and used cream eyeliner, which gives the same basic effect only it's a lot easier to control and a bit softer of a look. I used the NYC Instant Lash mascara for some length! I used the Elf HD blush in headliner to add a nice peachy flush to my cheeks. And I finished it off with the NYC lipstick in Violet Shine and a bit of Elf super glossy lip shine in Cherry.

The night look called for liquid eyeliner and this time I did just that. I struggle with liquid eyeliner and making it look neat and even, but I did my best! I used two coats of Maybelline the Falsies mascara for that extra drama. One again, I chose to use lip and cheek coilors from my collection rather than the book. I used the Elf Studio powder blush in Peachy Keen on my cheeks, and I did some light overall bronzing with NYC sunny bronzer. On my lips I am wearing Elf Mineral Lipstick in Party Pink with Elf super glossy lip shine in Pink Pop on top.

So that's that. Overall I really like the looks that I was able to create following the directions from the books. The day look in a natural look with a subtle sage green wash of color. The Night look is a smokier neutral eye. I really enjoy the texture of these eyeshadows. I was able to blend everything very easily, and the looks each came together quite quickly. I can't wait to try the other books and see what the results will be!
