... Read moreGetting ready isn't just about putting on makeup; it's about stepping into a character, and for me, that character often comes straight from my favorite books! My recent GRWM, inspired by Sarah J. Maas's incredible 'Queen of Shadows' from the #TOG series, was such a blast. Finishing 'Queen of Shadows' always leaves me feeling empowered and ready to conquer anything, much like Aelin Galathynius herself. So, I thought, why not channel that energy into a makeup look? When I create a book-inspired GRWM, I always start by thinking about the character's core essence. For the Queen of Shadows, I envisioned strength, a touch of mystery, and undeniable power. That's why I gravitated towards products that could give me a fierce yet refined edge. For example, a good concealer isn't just for covering blemishes; it’s about creating a flawless, unshakeable base, much like a queen's composure. I find that a solid foundation stick can really help achieve that smooth canvas. Eyeliner is another game-changer for capturing a character's gaze. Depending on whether your queen is bold and defiant or subtle and cunning, you can adjust your liner technique. For a Queen of Shadows vibe, I love a sharp, slightly winged liner – it adds that hint of fire and determination. And don't underestimate the power of eyebrows! A well-defined eyebrow pencil can sculpt your brows to convey strength and expression, truly framing your face like a crown. Blush and lip colors are where you can really play with the mood. For a 'queen saga' look, I often opt for shades that reflect the book's atmosphere or the character's journey. A deeper, more muted blush can suggest regality and understated power, while a vibrant lip jelly might hint at youthful spirit or a hidden passion. The trick is to balance these elements to tell a story on your face. What I love most about these bookish GRWMs is how they connect me even deeper to the stories I adore. It's not just about applying makeup; it's an immersive experience. If you’re looking to create your own 'grwm queen saga' look, think about the dominant colors of their world, their personality traits, and even their iconic moments. Are they a warrior queen needing a battle-ready glow, or a diplomatic queen requiring an elegant, approachable aura? Don't be afraid to experiment with different brands and products. For instance, a lengthening mascara like a 'kill lash' can add drama to your eyes, making them pop with queenly intensity. And remember, the goal isn't necessarily to become the character, but to embody their spirit in your own unique way. So, next time you finish a thrilling 'TOG series' book, grab your makeup bag and let your favorite queen inspire your next stunning GRWM!

Finally used my new Lemon8 beauty blenders and I love them! 🍋 They’re super soft and bouncy. My favorite thing is that they don’t absorb a lot of the product like some other sponges do. #Lemon8Diary #lemon8challenge #Lemon8Box #grwm #grwmmakeup #lemon8video #makeup #video #beau
