Jojo's Glitter : The Resurrected Rockstar

Bow down and stare in awe at Jojo Love also known as “The Resurrected Rockstar”

Character Backstory: Jojo Love was the most famous singer of her time. She had released 4 albums, gone on 3 world tours, and acquired millions of fans. As she was performing her biggest concert of 100,000 screaming fans, a large stage light fell from the ceiling, and landed directly on top of her. Jojo tragically died right on stage. Everyone thought her career was over, but due to the dedication and adoration of her loyal fans along with their love and support, Jojo came back to life. She’s ready to continue taking over the music world, one stage at a time.

I originally created this look for Halloween, but I’m just now getting around to writing about it. I (obviously!) got really into this costume and makeup design. I feel its more elaborate usual, but I had fun and let my creative side take control.

Costume

-Black sheer tights

-Ripped white jeans

-Red tank top

-Black shredded short sleeve top

-Black and gold leather jacket

-Black booties

I would recommend ripping the jeans and black shirt yourself, like I did to make it more dramatic. To rip the jeans stuff each pant leg with newspaper and cut straight down, the newspaper gives you something to cut into and it helps prevent going through both sides. Also, try to alternate one vertical cut and one horizontal.

Jewelry

(The amount of jewelry can be altered without disrupting the look, I understand this list will seem excessive, truthfully it was, but I feel the character would have worn a lot while performing, especially her biggest show. Bottom line, you can recreate this look without the jewelry and still have the same affect. By the end of Halloween, I had taken most of this off, but the costume still made an impact)

-Silver and black chain earcuff

-1 Black and pink star earring

-Coin/chain necklace

-Long red and black necklace

-3 keys necklace

-Saturn necklace

-Red heart framed by wings necklace

-Hieroglyphics necklace

Hair

(My hair was already dyed with the blond streaks, but you could use temporary dye to add some crazy colors)

First I brushed my hair and got out any tangles.

Then I straightened it with my Chi flat iron using Tresemme Keratin Smooth Flat Iron Smoothing Spray

After than I parted my hair and combed it all over to the right side.

I sprayed a decent amount of Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Anit-Humidity Hairspray all over my hair, brushing lightly in between coats.

Makeup (my favorite part!!)

*Products used

-Simple light moisturizer

-Revlon colorstay foundation in ivory

-Original beautyblender

-Wet’nWild single eyeshadow in sugar

-Urban Decay original eyeshadow primer potion

-Urban Decay eyeshadow in Oil Slick

-Urban Decay eyeshadow in Polyster (check spelling) Bride

-Urban Decay eyeshadow in Gunmetal

-Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Black Velvet

-Maybelline superstay 24hour color lipgloss in Constantly Cabernet

**Notice no mascara was used, that was done on purpose to keep the eyes dark and not make them look open and alive but “dead”**

*How-to

-Apply a small amount of the simple light moisturizer all over the face and neck. Give this a few minutes to dry, before moving on. This step is very important as using all these products can be very drying and damaging to skin.

-With a beautyblender, blend a generous amount of Revlon colorstay foundation in ivory all over the face and down onto the neck. I suggest using ivory, because the goal is to get the face to look as light as possible without being stark white.

-Before that dries completely, take a big fluffy face brush and dust Wet’n’Wild eyeshadow in Sugar all over the face. Apply this as you would a matteifying (check spelling) powder. The more coats, the lighter the skin will appear. I suggest brushing over the face at least 3 times.

-Apply a small amount (you don’t need much, it’s very concentrated) of Urban Decay original eyeshadow primer potion all over the top lid.

(The next few steps should be messy. Don’t apply the shadow very precise, sweep the brush across. The character died a tragic death, her makeup won’t be perfect, it’s going to be smudged.)

-Dust Urban Decay eyeshadow in polyster over the browbone as a highlight

-Using a heavy hand, brush Urban Decay Oil Slick eyeshadow all over the top lid

-With a wide flat brush apply Urban Decay eyeshadow in gunmetal across the lower lash line, creating a thick line.

-Use Urban Decay 24/7 eyeliner in Black Velvet on the waterline
