FASHION TIPS FROM COMIC STRIPS

Emma Frost | The White Queen.

A quick design, but the thinking behind it was: if she’s called The White Queen, why shouldn’t her costume be connected to that? With that in mind, I looked up a couple of Elizabethan outfits and went from there, while trying to keep it true to her origins as a member of the Hellfire Club.

A beautiful Elizabethan-inspired Emma Frost redesign by Jamie McKelvie.

Side note: My wardrobe is severely lacking an X-Men pendant on a string of pearls.

We Love Fine just released a new version of a Patrick Nagel-esque Emma Frost design (the original can be seen here), and it’s quite lovely. Emma’s clearly perfected the delicate art of looking glamorous whilst giving everyone the cold shoulder.

“Emma Frost Inspired Look” by ALB

Lids are first covered with Kryolan’s Aquacolor in White, applied with a damp brush. Pat Lancome’s Color Design Shadow in Personal Style all over lids. Blend Lise Watier’s Les Peacock Shadow [the lightest blue of the quad] into outer corner.  Sugarpill’s Lumi is used as a brow and inner eye corner highlight.  Blend well.

Apply NYC liquid liner, and mascara is then applied using Rimmel Sexy Curves. Let lashes dry and curl them, applying false lashes of your choice. 

Apply Step 1 of Maybelline’s XXL Curl Power Mascara to bottom lashes until they are an opaque white, then quickly dab Wet ‘N’ Wild’s MegaSparkle Confetti loose glitter onto bottom lashes. 

Lipstick is Lady Gaga Viva Glam (2).
