08.08 - “Android’s Best Friend” - Because it’s National 🐱Cat🐱 Day, today’s look pays homage to everyone’s favorite friend-shaped machine and his feline companion: Data and Spot. I realize this is the second cats in space look I’ve done this challenge, but we’ve all gotta have some consistency in life. I really love how this look turned out, even if it’s one of those “sweating off during application” days. I was considering accenting everything in brown and bronze instead of grey and silver, but I’m glad I went with the latter combo. I’ve always loved the contrast between grey and orange, and I think it’s very reminiscent of the color contrast in Data’s uniform/overall design. I hope you enjoy the first three-color look of the challenge! And don’t forget to tell any purring pals in your life how much you appreciate them today. ✨🖤✨ Clark #ThreeBrightWeeks #makeupchallenge #orangelids #yellowlids #greylips #nationalcatday #cateye #whiskerbrow #spacecat #DataandSpot #SpotandData #startrek #creativeclark #nyxcosmetics #narscosmetics #sephora #anastasiabeverlyhills #urbandecaycosmetics #maybelline #smashboxcosmetics

07.29 - “Shallow Waves” - It’s been another day that hasn’t quite started until the afternoon. The big experiments here lie in the application of the shadow and the color of the brows. I started my shadow from the inner corners and worked out today, but then I liked the way the first color turned out so much I didn’t want to add the other blue on top of it! In an attempt to get a little more of the dark blue on my face I decided to finish my eyebrows off with it. That didn’t look QUITE right, so I put more of my standard powder on it and it magically turned out the color of my lips, tying the whole thing together. Keeping with the water theme, I went a little overboard with the silver spots on my face. The first week is up! Tomorrow I’ll have used every color on the pallet and the mixing and matching of old familiars will commence!

07.25 - “Gummy Worm Gods” - Surprise! It’s only day three and we’re already breaking with the monochrome look. Despite the fact that I wanted to do something simple that would give my skin some time to breathe (did I mention I’m prone to eczema on my eyelids? HAHA, yes! I do know how ridiculous that makes this challenge sound now), I just kept adding things! Then I stabbed myself in the eye with gold eyeliner and another signature Clark tear was born. I think I’ve more than made up for my lack of creativity in shape and signature with my use of color, though. Would I put yellow on my eyebrows again? The circumstances would need to be very, very specific. Still, it’s a fun look, and I hope y’all enjoy! 🖤 Clark #ThreeBrightWeeks #makeupchallenge #yellowbrows #tealbrows #sparklybrows #teallips #goldtears #creativeclark #nyxcosmetics #urbandecaycosmetics #maybelline #stillacosmetics #makeupforever #sephora

08.12 - “Rose Cats” - Behold! The last look of Three Bright Weeks, AND the look I will be wearing to go pet some cats for my birthday today (I’ll probably redo the lips w/o the sparkles b/c there will be coffee involved). I wanted to end with just one color because . . . Well, because it’s my challenge and it’s my birthday and I like this pink and I do what I want *bats a mug off the counter I know I’m not supposed to be sitting on while maintaining steely eye contact with you.* I hope you’ve all enjoyed seeing my face bedecked in all the colors of the rainbow (well, all the colors of the NYX Ultimate shadow palette, at least) these past three weeks. I know I’ve enjoyed bedecking it! Much love ✨🖤✨Clark #ThreeBrightWeeks #makeupchallenge#lastday #pinklids #cateyes #greybrows #glitter #glitterlips #creativeclark #nyxcosmetics #urbandecaycosmetics #stillacosmetics #narscosmetics #sephora #ecosparkles

Hey, y'all! It's been a blast sharing my creative experiments with you these past few weeks. Receiving all your love and feedback for my longest running hobby has been wonderful! While there are only three looks left in the #ThreeBrightWeeks challenge, I do have more makeup plans on the horizon. @m.hopeclark and I are starting up a makeup IG together! @creativeclarks will be posting new looks from both m'sister and m'self every Wednesday and Saturday starting this weekend! If you like this face gracing your feed on the reg and are interested in seeing Hope's eerily similar face decorated by her own highly skilled hand, please follow our new account! We'll be doing weekly, maybe monthly, challenges together and would love you all along on the ride with us. At the very least, it'll be a fun for a laugh. ✨🖤✨Clark #creativeclarks #newigaccount #sisters #makeup #sistersdoingmakeup #letsseehowitgoes

08.09 - “Frantic” - Today I wanted to do a quick look that conveyed how stressed I was feeling this morning. My day’s a little off-schedule and adjusting to that was apparently too much for my brain to handle. Anywho! If I had more time I think I could’ve achieved something nebular in appearance. As it stands, I think the “too bright to actually be discreet” masque turned out just fine. Hope you enjoy today’s look! ✨🖤✨ Clarky #ThreeBrightWeeks #makeupchallenge #purplelids #bluelids #redlids #bluelips #goldlines #creativeclark #nyxcosmetics #narscosmetics #anastasiabeverlyhills #sephora #maybelline #urbandecaycosmetics

07.27 - “Grey Skies Dusty Eyes” - My body woke me up at a relatively early hour and I think it knew I would want to throw my windows open because IT IS AN OVERCAST DAY AND KESHA RELEASED A NEW SONG ABOUT LETTING GO WHAT MORE COULD I ASK FOR OUT OF A MORNING! This entire year has been marked by my work to let go of past resentments and turn my emotions into something I can be guided rather than ruled by (shoutout to my therapist). I already knew last night that I wanted to use this shimmery red today and focus on darkness. I also knew that I did not want to simply recreate a look I've done before. The day delivered -- While I once again wound up with a kind of blending of colors on camera, I really love the way this look came together. The shape of my shadow and brows turned out beautifully, and I actually managed to create a bold look without coating my eyelashes to high heaven. Though the contouring on my lips didn’t really turn out, the resulting color is lovely. Turns out when you mix brick red and dusty rose you get a rather nice mauve. Enjoy day five (we’re more than halfway through the first round of color combinations)! ✨🖤✨ Clark #ThreeBrightWeeks #makeupchallenge #roselids #redlids #redwings #mauvelips #blackbrows #creativeclark #nyxcosmetics #urbandecaycosmetics #sephora #anastasiabeverlyhills #narscosmetics #makeupforever

07.24 - “Electric Lavender” - Part of why I wanted to do this challenge was to push myself to embrace colors/combos I would normally shy away from. I’ve been pretty averse to purple makeup in recent years, so I knew I wanted to put some purples on my face right away. In fact, I took the embracing purple that much further by trying a lavender-frosted cupcake while getting cupcakes and coffee with a friend today (it irritates my skin, but cayenne can give you burns and it tastes delicious, soooo). All in all the risk I took with the cupcake had a less exciting payoff than the risk I took with shaping my shadow. Hope you enjoy day two! ✨🖤✨ Clark #ThreeBrightWeeks #makeupchallenge #purplelids #lavender #cupcakes #creativeclark #nyxcosmetics #urbandecaycosmetics #sephora #stillacosmetics #anastasiabeverlyhills #narscosmetics
