Midnight Rainbow

Posted on by Cora (vintageortacky)

Hi Guys & Dolls!

One of my favorite things about makeup is the way it can transform you, create a mood or make you feel like a different version of yourself. One of my favorite ways to alter my ego is with a slightly gothic-drag style of makeup. Not 100% on-point drag but what I like to call girlie-drag: Bold eyes and lips and completely unapologetic about it. My voice drops into a lower register, my movement is more fluid and every turn is drama, drama drama. I teased my facebook fans on Tuesday with a photo and it seems many of you like this type of dramatic makeup. Someone even said they were turned on. Some said it was “too much”. To both comments I would say “exactly what I was going for”!

Now for the bad news: long story short I messed up and forgot to turn the audio recording back on, so there is no “live” intro or exit for this video. When I discovered this I was so gutted because I explained the difference in mood in the video and I just knew you guys would have enjoyed it! Boo! Luckily Halloween is around the corner and I have quite a few “vixen” tutorials planned ^_^

  2. You are freakin amazing Cora! I’ve been following you for about a year now, and you have inspired me to actually want to look beautiful and to not just try to blend in. Thank you! Keep being fantabulous!

  6. I love, love, love this look…I have hooded eyes so I can’t pull this off…and BTW I’m in the “it turned me on” category. Super sexy look!

  17. I noticed for a while you stopped using Urban Decay’s primer. Is this because of the rumor that they would be selling to China, and if so, is it safe to assume they have decided against that?

    Love the look. I so wish I was pale enough to pull of purple contour. <3 And rainbow eyes are awesome. I love how perfect your makeup always is. I can't wait for the day when I am half as talented as you are.

  21. Hullo! I love how daring you are, it’s definitely inspired me to try bolder makeup combinations. Though, I don’t think I’m brave enough to try the lip colors you use quite yet! Keep doing what you’re doing :)

  24. Hello. I’m a little late commenting on this video. Love the look =) =) =) I was wondering what earrings you were wearing in this video? They were really nice and I would love to know where you got them from. Thanks for great videos. //Keta

  26. This is such a bold & fun look. I am in love with the lip color. I am so sad to have looked it up and find that the color was a limited edition lipstick no longer available, and is going for $30-$40 on amazon & ebay! Yikes! I love it, but not that much. lol
