From what I’ve heard from friends and family (who have read these books) they identify with John Matthew the most. Maybe it’s just me but he’s not my favorite nor is he anywhere near the top for me. He’s not my least favorite character by any means he just didn’t strike me. Which is probably why I had such a hard time recreating this look. My original was really not viewable because I didn’t use the right colors, nor did I have any other makeup on. So my eyebrows were all crazy and my lips were chapped and my face was washed out and pale. I have an idea in mind for the next collection I want to create so I need to finish the Brothers, not that I don’t love them, but I want this next series to begin before too much time has passed. (Yes, I’m being vague) Anyway, John’s book is red just like Wrath’s so his look echo’d Wrath’s just not as intense.
The makeup used in each look will pretty much be the same, since I really only have the palettes from BH Cosmetics. But I will try and list everything used for each brother. will take pictures of these palettes some day I promise!

Love it but it reminds me of Wrath (Dark Lover) more than John/Darius…When I think of John I think of blues, greys and black. What is the next look in your series? I’ve been planning for a long time to do a BDB Makeup inspired series too 😀
Right now everybody is done 😀 I was thinking about doing the BoB’s but I don’t really know too much about them yet
anyway, YAY! Another fan 😀
the who? Do u have a youtube channel? Cuz you should post video tutorials on these looks 😀
The Band of Bastards, lol I feel so bad typing that. They arrived in Payne’s book but really cause some issues in Tohr’s book.
I ❤ BDB! Hope the next book is about Quinn ❤
I’m so excited!! It’s about time lol.
oh! Yes they did…I want to create one for each brother and their shellans plus the scribe virgin, Omega and Lessers. My best friend at the time is who gave me all her BDB books and got me hooked on them 😀 I made her personalized eyeshadow pigments based on the book series.
My friend and aunt made me read them and well I’m kinda hooked too 🙂 I’ve wanted to buy loose pigments and mix colors for the Brothers but I have to remind myself that I probably have every color I’ll ever need lol.
I need to redo some of the colors since I gave her most of them. But I ran out of containers. I only have Butch, Marissa, Phurry, Red Smoke (Phurry), Darius/John, Beast (Rhage), Hal E. Wood, and Curse(Rhage).
Very cool 😀 I know Joanns has some little containers that work nicely 🙂
Why is the time on these post so weird? It’s 10am, not 5pm…right?
So odd lol.
I’ve gotten jars from Walmart and Joann’s before but they are more suited for beads b/c the pigments get messy and u end up wasting an spilling some of the product all the time. I get mine on line, just have to figure out what size I want and how many…will probably order some next week 😀 About to start on my face charts for my BDB inpired looks. I think I might set up a blog too, I just have a facebook and youtube(need to get going on some videos, its been a while).
Awesome 🙂 My friend and I started the blog because she didn’t want to do videos lol. I recorded one once and it was so odd to have to sit and watch myself lol.
I only have 4 looks done so far, here is the link to my fb page if u are interrested in what I came up with: http://www.facebook.com/karolinnilovesmakeup
Cool! I’ll check them out 😀
