Art Inspired Makeup - Picasso's "Demoiselles D'Avignon"

Hey, girls! Today I'm starting a new series on my blog, consisting of makeup looks inspired by famous painting or famous artists' work, not necessarily the most famous of their work. And the one I am here with now is a makeup look inspired by a Pablo Picasso painting called "Les Demoiselles D'Avignon". Hope you enjoy it and please leave your feedback.

Buna, fetelor! Azi voi incepe o serie de machiaje inspirate din tablouri celebre a marilor pictori, sau inspirate din tablouri mai putin celebre dar in culori care poate sunt frumoase si ma inspira, de la pictori cunoscuti. Machiajul pe care vi-l prezint astazi este unul inspirat de tabloul faimos al pictorului Pablo Picasso, "Domnisoarele din Avignon". Sper sa va placa si abia astept sa va aud parerile! :)

Start by applying a white matte base for better adherence. For this look we are going to use only matte colors, inspired by the skin of the ladies in Picasso's painting. 
Put a matte white e/s on your inner corner and after this, apply a flesh toned e/s (I used "Naked" from Urban Decay) on the first third of the lid.
*
Incepeti prin a aplica o baza mata alba pentru o aderenta mai buna a culorilor, pentru ca vom folosi in special culori mate, inspirate de pielea femeilor din tabloul lui Picasso.
Am aplicat apoi un fard alb mat in coltul intern al ochiului, urmat de o culoare asemanatoare cu tonalitatea pielii (am folosit "Naked" de la Urban Decay) pe prima treime din pleoapa.

After the first flesh toned e/s, apply a second similar one, in a darker tone. I used "Buck" from Urban Decay again. In a cut crease style and grabbing a matte dark blue eyeshadow, apply the color starting from the outer v and working your way towards the inner corner of the eye.
*
Dupa acea culoare in tonalitatea pielii, aplicati o a doua asemanatoare, dar intr-o nuanta mai inchisa. Eu am folosit "Buck", tot de la Urban Decay. In stil cut crease vom aplica un albastru inchis mat, incepand cu coltul extern si mergand spre coltul intern al ochiului.

Darken up the outer corner by using a black e/s and highlight your browbone with the same white from the inner corner. Trace a line with the same white under the fake crease, to create dimension.
*
Am aplicat apoi un negru pe coltul extern al ochiului si un alb pe arcada. Trasati cu acelasi al o linie chiar sub cuta falsa creata, pentru mai multa dimensiune.

Mix a dark green e/s with some matte black and smudge it on the lower lashline. Then apply black liquid liner on the upper lashline, white e/liner on the waterline, mascara and false lashes.
*
Amestecati un verde inchis cu negru si aplicati-l pe pleoapa de jos. Apoi trasati cu un tus negru pe pleoapa superiara, plasati un creion alb pe waterline, aplicati mascara si gene false.

On my cheeks I used a brownish pink blush and on my lips, a red lipliner and a reddish-orange gloss with glitters to complete the look.
*
Pe obraji am folosit un blush roz-maroniu, iar pe buze am folosit un creion rosu si un luciu rosu-portocaliu cu sclipici pentru a completa look-ul dramatic.
