Hey guys, I'm Alyson.
I'm going to transform into
Renfri from
The Witcher.
If you don't know The Witcher,
where have you been?
I watched it in one sitting because it was so intense
and amazing and I loved it so much.
First, I'm gonna use some beige eye shadow
slightly darker than my skin tone
to make some contour.
I'm gonna try to lift my nose
by creating a shadow underneath it
and I'm also gonna make it look rounder
by making a circle around the tip of my nose.
I'm also gonna align from my eyebrow down
the sides of my nose to make it look a little straighter.
Renfri also has kind of a shadow
under her brow bone,
so I'm gonna create one there too.
And then I'm gonna use a lighter powder to highlight.
I'm also gonna add a little highlight down
the center of my nose and I'll blend it in.
Now, I'm gonna do some shadows
under my cheekbones.
I’m gonna blend that in as well.
I’m also gonna contour around her eyes.
I'll get more into detail about the eyes later,
but for now just gonna add some shadows.
Also gonna add some shadows to my forehead.
Hers is a bit shorter than mine,
so I'll shorten it with the wig,
but for now I'm just gonna make it a little darker.
And then I blend that in.
I'm also gonna add some shadows
to the sides of her mouth.
It's gonna make them look a little fuller.
Alright, next I'm gonna do the jawline.
Her jaw is rounder than mine,
so I'm going to do that by raising it
with some more shadow.
I think that's it for contour for now.
Next, I'm gonna move on to the eyes.
She has these really big, beautiful eyes
with that same darker brown eyeshadow,
I'm going to apply it to the crease of my eye
and make my eyelids look more prominent and round.
I'm gonna blend that in.
I'm also going to use a liner pencil.
I'm gonna draw a line under my bottom eyelid
to make it look puffier.
Now I'm gonna use a lighter powder
and highlight the areas that
I just added shadows to.
Next, I'm gonna do eyeliner
even though in the show
her character doesn't look like it's wearing any makeup,
but I'm going for like a "no makeup" makeup look,
so I'll keep it really subtle.
I'm also gonna add some eyeliner
to the bottom lashline too.
Then I'm gonna add a natural beige,
but shimmery eyeshadow
over my eyelid to blend in the eyeliner
and also make it look a little more greasy.
Hopefully that made my eyes look a little rounder.
Next, I'm going to move on to eyebrows.
Eyebrows frame your face,
so definitely study a character's eyebrows
and try to get them as close as you can.
Her eyebrows are very full.
Next, I'm gonna wipe off my lips,
make sure they're good for makeup.
Alright.
Her lips are slightly fuller on the top
and shorter on the sides.
So that's what I'm gonna try to recreate.
I'm also gonna go over it with a matte liquid lipstick.
I'm gonna dust over it with a little more foundation
to make it look a little more natural.
I think that's it!
So the next step is, I'm going to put on the wig.
It's gonna complete the look
and really tie it all together.
Alright, next I'm gonna show you
how I made different pieces of the costume
to prepare for the premiere.
I made the brooch using poster board
and then I added all the little details with puffy paint.
I let that dry, and I brushed some gold paint on it
and then I used some black paint
to make it all look messy and weathered.
My favorite part about the brooch
is that her mother gave it to her
and also, Renfri uses it to kill people.
Is that too violent?
That's kind of violent.
That's why I like it though,
so don't judge me.
To make the overskirt,
it was really hard to find metal trim,
so, I had to use this twine trim
that was woven so it had a similar texture.
I painted it black,
and then I painted it silver,
and then I sewed it onto the edges of the skirt.
I did dark wash the entire costume
to make it look more weathered and worn.
And last but not least, the cape.
Let's do this.
Thank you guys so much for watching.
Let me know what you think
of my costume in the comments,
and I hope you had fun watching!
