My Alter Ego - Nikita - Russian Spy

I have this wig that I wear out sometimes when either A. I don't feel like doing my hair or B. I feel like having a completely different persona for the night.

That persona is...

Nikita - Russian Spy

I am not crazy BTW. I don't actually have 2 personalities. I just named my 2nd persona for fun.

It's great fun going out and people not knowing who I am. They look at E.W. and think that he's cheating on me with another girl. Then I start speaking and they are like "OMG it's you!"

I came up with a look that goes even further than just the wig. I made a look that I might use for next year's Halloween. I know I know, this Halloween just ended but I like to think ahead.

So this is my super sexy Nikita the Russian spy look.

First start off with a clean face and apply foundation for an even skin tone. I am naturally dark skinned so I had to apply a lighter foundation to achieve the porcelain Russian skin look.

Next line your eye brows with a dark color and extend the line of the natural eyebrow.

Apply bright red lipstick with a burgundy color over it for the classic Russian lip. Even though my lips are already big, I extended the natural lip line to make the lips less subtle.

Put in bright contact lenses to make your eyes pop. I was going to use crystal clear blue contacts but they ripped so opted for violet color. I'm glad I did so, they look great with this look.

Next, line your eyes with black liquid eyeliner and extend line to simulate a cat eye.

Brush a white shimmery eye shadow over entire lid. Then use a black or dark gray eye shadow in the crease and on bottom lashes.

Brush a peach or pink color on your cheeks and make sure to make it dark. Russian always have beautifully accentuated high cheekbones.

Add a mole on upper lip for the final touch.

Time for the Nikita wig! You can but it at any wig store. I got mine for $40 at a local wig shop.

Tah-Dahhh... Nikita is here!

"I vant to slice you and vatch you scream!"

I did another shot with a Russian fur hate that E.W. got me in Moscow last month but my face looks kinda poofy in it. I dunno, maybe I'll post it someday but that's it for now.

I see this look paired with a sexy body hugging black leather outfit with maybe a black eye patch and you will be the sexiest Russian Spy at the party!

Oh and BTW, I really do wear the look (minus the crazy makeup) out once in a while!

Update: I decided to add the white fur hat photo. Here it is!
