Olivia Caliban | A Series of Unfortunate Events

Olivia Caliban | A Series of Unfortunate Events | Makeup (3 Looks in 1!)

Martha Haziran 01, 2021

Dear Reader:

If you have not read any of my blog posts about the makeup looks of A Series of Unfortunate Events, then before you read even one more sentence you should know that this post is filled with unhappy and wretched details. Of all the blog posts of ASOUE makeup, the one you are currently reading may be the worst of them all.

You should decide for yourself whether you can possibly endure this miserable post.

(Paraphrased from Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events Book the Third: The Wide Window)

Time for another unfortunate look, actually three unfortunate looks (I know, who would have thought for that price!)

Today's look is of Olivia Caliban portrayed by the lovely Sara Rue.

Olivia Caliban is the Librarian at Prufrock Prep, the private school which the Baudelaire orphans end up attending.

Olivia becomes a loyal volunteer and does her best to rescue the Baudelaire (and Quagmire) orphans. Ms. Caliban is technically not in the book series (unless you count book the ninth, more on that later), but she is wonderful addition to the brave volunteers who risk their lives to put out fires, both literally and figuratively.

What Will You Need to Recreate These Looks?

1. Matte Eyeshadows: Browns and taupes will give a nice contour to the eye, since Olivia's eye makeup was more natural.

2. Liquid Liner and False Lashes: Lashes that are fuller at the outer corner give Olivia's subtle cat eye. Liquid liner helps the lash seam to look more natural.

3. White Eyeliner Pencil: To get a wider eye look, line lower waterline with white.

4. Contour & Highlight, Subtle Blush: A light, blendable contour shade, a little highlight around the eyes, and a natural blush for a subtle flush.

5. Lipsticks in Varying Shades of Rose: The most distinct change in Olivia's makeup throughout the first three "books" (six episodes) is her lip color.
