So last night, instead of sleeping or studying for my finals, I decided to fuss with my Karkat makeup. Sorry the pictures are terrible. : (
I've had no luck getting aquacolor onto my water line. It gets washed right off 'cause it's water-based. This time I put some creme Ben Nye red on the water line, then did my normal pencil black eyeliner around it so my eyes wouldn't get lost in the flat grey.

I kind of like it, but I think it would work better if I had one of the other troll colors. With the red, it just looks extra human, so I either need a red that goes on stronger or just give up and apply black or grey creme to the water line instead. I also blended in a tiny bit of black creme along my natural under eye lines for tiredness, but the way I did it, I think I look more sad than sleep deprived.
I also did the colored knuckles trick!

This is red creme under grey aquacolor. I'm not perfectly happy with it, but I need to mess around with it more.
Trying to apply red to the knuckles on my right hand with my left took so freaking long. I am such a dominant righty and I need to fix that.
