Hi, I’m Cordelia, the person behind Phyrra.net and Phyrra on Youtube. With over a decade of makeup obsession & experience, I share the best in indie beauty & gothic fashion to inspire you to explore your unique style and beauty!
I’m a published author and beauty addict. I started blogging in 2008 and went cruelty free in 2012. You’ll find honest reviews, how-to’s, tips and more to help you be fearlessly beautiful in your own skin. I specialize in pale girl beauty, hooded eye makeup, cruelty free beauty and gothic fashion. I also share lifestyle tips, too. I started disclosing PR, Sponsored Content, and Affiliate Links in 2009, prior to the FTC guidelines being released.
I published a book for you called Hooded Eyes Makeup Manual, exclusive to Amazon!
I love bright makeup, colorful hair, and sparkly nail polish. I have oily, hooded eyes and believe in the power of eyeshadow primer. My very fair neutral cool skin tone is between N0 – N5 (see all my foundation features). I have sensitive, dry skin with rosacea. My hair is naturally a step off from black, straight, and color treated. I’m 5’4″, petite, and curvy. I follow a low carb, low sugar, high healthy fats and high protein lifestyle. My fashion style has been described as post-Modern Faerie and Romantic Goth. I love spikes, studs and Swarovski crystals. Edgy, yet feminine alternative fashion is my favorite.
I have two standard poodles, Nyx and Amaya. My best friend and first poodle Phaedra passed away in 2019. You can read her celebration of life here. I drove 2100 miles roundtrip to adopt Amaya after Phaedra passed away unexpectedly and Nyx was depressed. You can Amaya’s adoption story here. They are both now bonded and so cute to watch together.
I’m passionate about animal-friendly products! I’ve also started incorporating more environmentally friendly products too. I love technology that makes life easier, as well as better for the environment.
