Good evening friends, recently I saw a makeup done with pieces of something similar to glass and I wanted to do a similar one but using CD's the truth is that in my mind it looked wonderful but honestly the end result for me was a complete FAIL hahaha, the only picture I liked was the one I'm using for the cover of this post, the rest I hated it too much, the process was simple and at the same time so complicated, the CD's pieces didn't stick very well and some didn't fit well in my face, I couldn't give up because I took a lot of body paint and I didn't want to waste it but honestly I will never do an experiment like this again.
I started very optimistic, painting first my chest with black body paint and then seal with translucent powder, then I applied silver paint on my face and this I could not seal it because it would lose the metallic sheen, this was a drawback for me because I was very annoyed by the cream texture that leaves this body paint, also I feel that my face looked greasy but it was the effect of the silver paint, then I took black eye shadow and made up my eyes but I could not blur as I wanted because of the silver paint.
Then began what for me would be the most fun part and ended up being hell, I took pieces of CD's that I previously cut into random shapes and glued them on my face, I used eyelashes glue to glue each piece, however, it was a little complicated to keep each piece in place, I guess the texture of the cream paint didn't let each piece stick well, the glue I used is pretty good and to see that these pieces were hanging was quite strange, even so I managed to finish gluing them all and I finished painting my lips in black, I really imagined it prettier and to me, it looks horrible.
I took too many pictures and only one I liked, besides that, the wig I put on was a huge obstacle for each piece of my face, it got tangled in my hair and made them fall, I can not deny that I love the colors that reflect the CD's as it looks holographic but I feel that there was no harmony in the way I glued each of them, I feel a little sad about the result but sometimes it is good to experiment and know what mistakes not to make for the next one.
