League of Legends: Nami inspired Make-Up Tutorial

Yay :3
Okay, as you have noticed I play League of Legends quite frequently. Also, combining the Girly and the "Nerdy" (pf, bloody casuals) is a big hobby of mine.
So, today's tutorial was inspired by Nami, the Tidecaller. Nami's competition for "T's favorite Champion" is not very big. There IS always Sona, which I love, but Nami is just more.. exciting.
And not only is she my favorite Champ concerning gameplay, she also has one of the most beautiful designs in the entire League.
Since I'm not big on cosplaying (because I'm just not talented enough for that), I like to pay tribute to my favorite characters in a different way: breaking up their color palette into a look that's wearable for other occasions than just a convention ;)

Ok, so here's my Nami look:

and let's jump right into the tutorial!
1) I started out by just putting on foundation and priming my eyelids
2) Then I applied a creamy golden eye shadow in the inner corners of my eyelids, up to about the center.
3) Right on the center of my eyelid I put a very bright green shadow. Mine is kind of matte, but since Nami is a fish, you could totally go for a more shimmery look if you wanted to.

4) Next you load up your brush with a dark teal color. I mean be really generous with this. The best way to apply this is by dabbing your brush on the outer V of your eyelid, and then take a fluffy brush to blend it into the other colors and little towards the outside.
5) For a bit of contouring/highlighting, use a matte bronze/rusty brown shadow and sweep it into your crease. Blend this fairly well to create depth (lower arrow). Then use a light greenish-golden color to highlight you browbone (upper arrow). See how that makes the look more dynamic and less flat?
6) With the same light color, highlight the inner corner of your eyelid and you tear duct. That will give you bright, cute eyes.

You should now have something that looks like picture 7. Now's where the fun begins! =) (I switched to lighter arrows to better demonstrate the dark colors)
8) Line your lower lash line with a bright blue. Try to find a tone that is almost glowing, like this one I'm using from IQ (products listed at the end, as always).
9) Take a very dark blue shadow and dab it just on the outer edge of your eye, and blend it up into the brown and also a little bit into your lower line from step 8.

10) Use a dark grey shadow (take Nami's armor for reference) and line your upper lash line with it. No need to wing it out too much, since there's already the dark blue shadow there.
11) Since I'm super incompetent with liquid eyeliner, I kept it very simple here, just doing the slightest of flicks at the end. I also only started in the middle of my eyelid, to keep the inner corners bright. If you want to, I'm sure a nice bold catline would look great as well.
12) Last but not least. In the splash art, they changed Nami's eyes to orange, but the ingame model's are still a pinkish red color. Because I can't put in contact lenses to save my life, I used a red lipliner (I cleaned it) as an eyeliner instead to represent them. Now you have to be careful with this, or your eyes will end up looking irritated. Just put it on the outer half of your waterline and you should be fine. Just to be on the safe side, I added my trusty light pink liner to the inner half.

So far, so good. So after that I basically just finished my facial make up with concealer, translucent powder and some bronzer for my cheekbones (I ended up putting my usual pink blush over it, because just the bronzer wasn't "me" enough I guess). I almost forgot putting on mascara, but just almost. Then I decided to do a gradient lip, which I achieved with concealer and lip stain.

And that's the finished look! I realize it's probably not appropriate for running errands and judging by the look the lady at the post office gave me, she didn't think so either, but it's a nice glamorous but colorful look for a night out or even a formal event.
Here's some more pics:

Messing around with my camera. I just liked how this one turned out with all the mess I made on the table =D

And that's that. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did making it =)
