Illusen Beauty Tutorial


by animeluver220

--------

Illusen is known for being the kindest earth faerie in Meridell. Her makeup and fashion style reflects her love of nature with earthy green and brown tones. You may have admired her beauty from afar, but have you ever tried to replicate her classic look? Now you can with this Illusen Makeup Tutorial! In this tutorial, I’ll be breaking down her iconic look starting with basic skincare, and then moving onto the different portions of her makeup. Read on below!

     The Base: Skincare

     The perfect base for any good makeup look is always having great skin to start with! Your skin is the canvas for the artwork you are about to create with your makeup. Developing a skincare routine is so important because it will help you maintain a healthy, smooth, and even complexion. This will not only make your makeup application much easier but will also allow your makeup to sit much more evenly on the skin. Now that you know the importance of a good skincare routine, let’s look at some products you could use before delving into your Illusen look!

     Product: Hypoallergenic Facial Cleanser

     

Description: For Neopets with sensitive skin

     Cost: 310 np

     Cleansing is the first step to any skincare routine and is done to remove any dirt, oils, and product that may have built up on your skin throughout the day. This facial cleanser is ideal for all skin type due to its gentle, hypoallergenic ingredients. From the soft fuzz on JubJub faces to the scaly, smooth complexion of Kois, this cleanser is loved by all Neopets alike!

     Product: Moisturising Cream

     

Description: Apply this moisturiser day and night to keep your Neopets skin silky smooth

     Cost: 2,300 np

     Moisturizing is key to maintaining a healthy, youthful complexion. If you’ve ever wondered why Illusen doesn’t seem to ever age, it’s because she always moisturizes to keep her skin smooth and supple!

     Product: Illusens Sunscreen

     

Description: Protect your skin like Illusen with this sunscreen

     Cost: 127,000 np

     The number one contributor to prematurely aged skin is sun damage! If you’ll be taking a trip to Illusen’s Glade anytime soon, you’ll be subject to the bright and strong sun rays shining on the Meridell lands! Illusens Sunscreen is specially formulated to protect your Neopet’s beautiful skin from the sun’s rays. Combined use of this, as well as the Moisturising Cream previously mentioned, will have your Neopet looking so young and fresh you’ll almost think it was painted Baby!

     The Makeup Tutorial

     Product: Illusen Handheld Mirror

     

Description: Check yourself out… Illusen approves!

     Cost: 2,500 np

     You’ll need some sort of reflective surface to look at yourself while you’re applying all of these products. Illusen has designed her very own handheld mirror for all Illusen fans to admire their natural beauty! You can even prop this item against a hard surface if you’d like to free up one hand while doing your makeup.

     Eyes

     Product: Green Eye Shadow

     

Description: Enhance your eyes with these amazing new shades from NeoGlo.

     Cost: 700 np

     This eyeshadow provides four different green pigments. Use a neutral green shade above the crease of your eye. This will serve as your “transition shade” which will create a nice gradient between the different green colours Illusen loves to use. Use the lightest, most shimmery shade on the inner corners of your eye to make them look bright and pop. Finally, use the darker, forest green shade on the outer corner of your eye. Make sure you blend the dark colour towards the outer area of your eye to create Illusen’s beautiful green gradient look!

     Product: Black Eye Liner

     

Description: Highlight your eyes and the darkness inside

     Cost: 800 np

     Illusen loves to swipe on some classic black eye liner to help make her eyes look bigger and more doll-like. Use this right above the lash line and start with a thin line that you can gradually build up thicker.

     Product: Illusen Blue Waterproof Mascara

     

Description: Perfect for swimming!

     Cost: 225,000 np

     The ultimate trick for making your eyes look bigger is to use this beautiful mascara loved by none other than Illusen herself. It makes the lashes appear longer and thicker, and is completely waterproof so it won’t streak if you cry after forgetting to complete Illusen’s Quest!

     Skin

     Product: Tanning Spray

     

Description: This spray will help protect your Neopet while letting them tan a bit

     Cost: 200 np

     Illusen spends all day long in her beautiful glade so she has a natural, healthy tan on her skin. If your Neopet likes to stay indoors all day, this tanning spray can help give it a nice natural-looking glow to match Illusens!

     Product: Tan Blush

     

Description: Give your pet a healthy glow with the new NeoGlo range of blusher

     Cost: 950 np

     Illusen has a pretty natural-looking complexion. To achieve that, skip out on the pink or red toned blushers. Instead, opt for this tan blush to match Illusen’s bronzed look. Start by applying these to the apples of your cheek and swipe the product out towards your ears.

     Product: Adorable Freckles

     

Description: These adorable freckles are sure to bring some attention to the face

     Cost: 50 NC

     Illusen has natural adorable freckles dotting her skin. If your Neopet wasn’t born with freckles, you can use these to look as cute as Illusen!

     Lips

     Product: Green Lipstick

     

Description: Give your pet luscious lips with this beautiful lipstick – not tested on animals

     Cost: 900 np

     We all know Illusen’s famous green pout. You can achieve that same look too with this beautiful green lipstick!

     Product: Hypoallergenic Lip Gloss

     

Description: This shimmering fruit lip gloss tastes great and looks even better!

     Cost: 1,650 np

     Apply this lip gloss over your Green Lipstick to have your lips looking shiny like Illusen’s!

     I hope this article helped you achieve your very own Illusen look! Remember, makeup is all about having fun! While this tutorial can help you mimic the Illusen’s iconic look, don’t forget that every single Neopet has their own natural beauty to be embraced! I hope you enjoy!
