Triss Merigold inspired FOTD


Video Games are one of my favourite things in the world, I've been playing them a lot ever since I could walk on my own two feet! Naturally I love to combine my interest in games with my interest in Makeup.  Unfortunately it's hard to find a lot of games that have good makeup examples (in my opinion).  A lot of characters from games I love tend to have pretty plain faces and their design is built around their hairstyle and clothing.

I recently played The Witcher 3 which has been one of the best games I've played in a long time.  I was really impressed with the detail on so many characters faces.  Triss is a sorceress and like many other sorceresses, they use magic to keep a quite youthful and pretty visage.  One thing I really loved was that Triss didn't have that super flawless complexion that so many video game ladies are designed with.  Triss has freckles, sun damaged skin and wrinkles (you know, like how some real people apparently have), so to make a character that's still designed to be pretty yet also human was so refreshing for me to see since growing up with freckles was not super fun.

Video Game Makeup - Lulu (Final Fantasy X)


Following on from my Eir Stegalkin look, for my second video game look, I decided to go with Lulu from Final Fantasy X.  She has gorgeous makeup and very intriguing eyes, I'm also a big fan of purple so it was only a matter of time before I attempted this look.

Video Game Makeup - Eir Stegalkin (Guild Wars 2)



I love video games, it's no lie.  I've been playing them for as long as I can remember and they've been such great fun!  I don't know why it took so long for me to consider combining my love of video games and makeup together but I've decided to try and recreate some looks that I've seen across games I've played.  I have a few in mind but my first choice was Eir Stegalkin from Guild Wars 2.

She's pretty awesome right?  I was drawn in by her awesome tattoos and loved the idea of doing a war-paint look and also to start off with something that wasn't too challenging either.
