Alice in Wonderland Body Art | 2013

Good (morning?) everyone!

Once again, super late night post. It is currently almost 12:30am. I swear, I AM LOVING this whole blog thing. Maybe I just love to talk? Who knows!

Today I began my new Alice in Wonderland theme. It was requested that I revisit this theme (I also did it last year). I think it's a great idea! I am so excited to see how much my mind and creativity has grown since I last featured this theme on my page. So I decided to kick it off with a BANG with an almost four hour body painting session.

This will be a short blog post, but sometimes, at least I think, it's more fun to see the process, than just the end result alone! Personally, I love to see the the middle parts of a piece of art. Why? Maybe because it's just a reminder of how far you came when creating that piece. I think its incredible how much of a difference color makes. As you can see, everything started as just an outline. You wouldn't even know what they WERE until they were filled in with body paint. After staring at a piece of art for so long, you have a tendency to forget that you started out with a blank canvas. You get so used to seeing it, that you need to step away and come back, or take progress photos, to really see the beauty in it.


Here is pretty early in the process! Alice is complete, other than her clothing that still needs to be colored. In the other photo, all characters are complete, they just need outlining and details. The frame was in the middle of being painted.


And complete! Photos from all angles of the painting. 

This is not a tattoo! I created this completely out of body paint and eyeshadow. So, thank you to those who have been saying it is a tattoo, but it is not, haha. It would be a cute one, though, for someone who wanted a very large piece!

I plan on having some cool characters done this upcoming week, as well as some new videos for them :) It is only April, but I am desperately missing Halloween... So, keep these upcoming videos in your mind for a possible cute halloween look as well!!

My First Video (Throwback) | Written 2015

I remember this exact day of uploading and creating this video. I actually started this video pretty late at night. Funny thing is, what you guys DO NOT see in the video are lamps balancing on my bed, towels down all over my bed so I don't get makeup on my sheets (inevitable), my messy finger printed laptop, full of body paint that WAS NOT water based easy to come off paint (ahem), and the general madness that was actually this video.

Foundation Favorites | 2013

Late night post, I know everyone! I have been busy all day taking the Monster Denture FX class at Kosart Effects ! Now I always get asked, "What kind of foundation do you use?" "I have acne, what kind of foundation should I use to cover it?" "I have scars, what kind of foundation do you recommend?"  "You have perfect skin! What foundation do you use?" GOTCHA ! My skin is  pretty close  to clear, but I  DO  have break outs. My secret to perfect skin? (Once my long journey of clearing up my Grade 3 acne was over, of course) Not only a wonderful skin care routine, but of course, makeup. For those of you who have been following me for a long time, you all know that my skin has not always been as clear as it is today. Thank you all, seriously , for complimenting my skin. I may do a future blog entry about my personal skin care story, with further explanation of it all. Before I start my recommendations, I would like to say that my skin typ...

Popsicle Zombie | 2014

Back in 2014 , and still today, I was and am still pretty proud of the shading within this character. This was the first time I successfully to my satisfaction created shading within my cheek (specifically the left-hand side looking at the photo straight on). This was a part of a very small spread out series on my channel that I was calling popsicle zombies at the time. I loved the way they turned out, and I loved making them different colors! This series was also one that another social media influencer took advantage of, which was kind of a bummer. At the time, I thought they just enjoyed my work! ... until they stopped mentioning they even know me. It ended up being a life lesson, people aren't always so nice.  Of course, I always encourage people to have their hand at painting :) That is what I make my tutorials for! There is a difference between recreating and learning, and recreating to steal. It's what it's. It doesn't make my zombie any less pink, or my h...
