I have been so excited for this post because I seriously
believe that I have poured my heart and soul into it and that THIS is exactly
the kind of content I want to create for my blog, and I’m excited to see the
evolution in the quality and type of blog posts. This is my ‘Lorde’ style post,
because, well, the Queen Bee is a serious style muse.
I remember the first time I decided to REALLY listen to her
music, having heard a lot about this new singer. I binge watched some of her
music videos and sure, they were great, but what REALLY caught my fancy were
these YouTube videos of her performing at various shows. You know how there has
to be real character incorporated into songs, and an image of the artist has to
be developed-a vision, an identity? Lorde is so full of character, so
different, and gives mesmerizing performances. I feel like if I were ever to see
her perform, I would be captivated by every element of the performance, the mood
that is set, the lights, her gothic clothes, her dark lipstick and eyeliner,
her beautiful lustrous hair, the emotion and power with which she sings her
songs and the little ‘on-stage’ moves she has (you would have to watch a video
to know what I’m talking about) all add up to make such a striking and bold
identity. I really do love her, she is a serious style muse in my list of very
selected muses.
I decided to channel a bit of the Queen Bee, so I decided to
go for bold purple lips! As I do not yet own a powerful purple lipstick of my
own, I had to improvise. I used this intense purple eyeliner and filled my lips
in with that, and smoothed over a lip plumper on top of that (life hacks, am I
right?) The liner itself was sparkly with glitter, so it added a whole lot more
to the look. I felt like a total rock star, and felt DAMN powerful, listening
to great music, taking and editing the pictures I took. The colour is so
intense and vampy, and I LOVE that.
This was an incredibly fun post, and I’m so glad I went
through with it without any procrastinating, ha. This post was actually in
collaboration with Areeba and Noor, so check out their posts as soon as they go
online! They are both channeling their ‘inner Lorde’ in their own ways, and
they actually have hair just like her which makes me so jealous! I have
wavy-straight, thick hair so I had to go for her thick, straight tresses look.
Ah well, Lorde looks so gorgeous in both of them. Sigh.
I hope to do so many more posts like this, and have planned
so many more future, the thought of working on them making me ecstatic! Hope
you enjoyed this!
I absolutely love your look, Maham. You look fabulous. I'm so glad you and Areeba actually helped me plan looks for my own blog and it was so fun. Lorde is BABE!!
