I started by applying the gold shade all over my eyelid, and then I added some brown into the crease.

I contoured my cheeks and added some gold highlighter to make me look unforgettable. Heh see what I did there?

Then I drew the constellation from the cover using eyeliner. The eyeliner I used had a star stamp on the other end which was helpful, but you could also draw in the stars yourself.

I added dark lipstick. Mine is a dark purple-y brown, but any dark shade will do.

When I was in university, I wrote an article for my school paper on books that should be adapted into TV shows. One of the books I chose was Lemony  Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events which, a few months later, was picked up by Netflix and became a wonderful adaption of a beloved book series. Am I psychic? Possibly. But it’s more probable that the entertainment industry had just started becoming aware of the potential of book to TV adaptions.
