Gamora - Guardians of the Galaxy makeup

SPOILERS AHEAD 

(sorry)

Guardians of the Galaxy is the latest release in the Marvel movie universe and may be the funniest movie of summer 2014. The movie features a cast of misfit bandits from different reaches of the galaxy.  The female lead Gamora is portrayed by Zoe Saldana. This character is an independent female alien who doesn't end up in a relationship with the male lead at the end of the movie! Did I mention that she is green?

I wanted to focus more on marvel characters this year for Hollow-een and I also wanted to do a makeup from this movie. Gamora seemed like the perfect fit. I sat down one afternoon and began my transformation. I didn't take step by step pictures (sorry) but it's pretty simple. If you get lost along the way or have any questions the comment section is your best friend.

Things you'll need:

Face primer

School grade glue stick

Green eye shaddow

Dark green eye shaddow

Yellow eye shaddow

Silver eye shaddow

Black eyeliner

Concealer brush

Lip brush

Setting spray

1. Start with a clean face.

2. Use a primer all over your face. Let dry.

3. Use a glue stick to keep your eyebrows in place. Let dry.

4. Use a concealer brush to apply the green eyeshaddow own all over your face and eye brows.

5. Use concealer brush and dark green shaddow to contour under the cheek bones, eye crease, jaw line, side of nose, and temples.

6. Use concealer brush and yellow shaddow to highlight: cheek, center or nose, center of chin, cuspids bow, forehead.

7. Take black eyeliner and create new eye brows (a single line from your natural brow, gliding in a slightly upward arch).

7.5 add a yellow highlight under new arch.

8. Line eyes with liner and also line and fill lips with liner.

(If you want to paint your arms green to match I recomend a green grease paint and a friend. Try to match your lighter green eye shaddow with the grease paint in this case)

I like making funny faces when I'm in character makeup XD
