Makeup inspired by Alice in Wonderland
One of our favorite books this year is Camille Rose Garcia’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. So when we saw the video tutorial below–posted on YouTube by Haleybean–we were super excited. We asked Haleybean to tell us more about why she chose to create this makeup tutorial inspired by Camille’s incredible artwork.
I recently did this make-up tutorial based off the cover art that artist Camille Rose Garcia did for a rendition of Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. To start with, Alice is my all-time favorite piece of literature so I’m always on the prowl for different ways people find to interpret the Alice stories. I was in a bookstore one day and saw Camille’s work and fell in love with it immediately. She presents Alice in a way that is so new and original it’s ridiculous. She holds true to the story while bringing in her own fresh new take on it.
I started google-ing more of her art and I really enjoy her work. I regularly do my make-up tutorials on YouTube, I have been doing so for the past 2 1/2 years or so and I get most of my inspiration from artwork and movie characters alike; I automatically pulled inspiration from Camille because it has all elements I love and presented me with the challenge to take in her interpretation and do something completely different to add that Haleybean twist to it.

ALICE’S ADVENTURES IN WONDERLAND
Word on the street is that there’s a new Alice in Wonderland movie on the horizon. We’re excited for that, but we’re even more excited for this incredible new book: Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland, illustrated by the wonderful Camille Rose Garcia. In her visual interpretation of Lewis Carroll’s unabridged masterpiece, Garcia brings this classic tale to life with the unique style for which she is famous.

Music always inspires me while I work, for this project I wanted the art to reference psychedelic colors, and also have a bit of darkness. While reading the story again, I realized it is a pretty dark story, everyone is mean to Alice, she gets drugged by a crazy caterpillar, and the queen threatens her with a beheading! So my musical selections are a nice mix of psychedelic, punk rock, and dark, brooding music. And a couple of folk songs thrown in since my studio is in the middle of the woods!
