Iron Man Makeup | 2015



Oh-ho-ho! Iron Man is one of the trickiest characters for face and body painters everywhere, mostly because he is iron! Robot body paints are always the hardest.

Products Used:

From all of the face and body painters I have talked to, or am friends with, it seems like Iron Man and other robotic characters are always the most difficult. There are many reasons for this, in my theory. Robotic and metal characters tend to be blocky. its only as of recently that robots have been given a smoother, more human like image. Drawing lines that appear to be straight on a curved surface, such as a body or a face, is definitely a challenge. 

LEXTIP: Imagine your face as a flat surface. Do not curve your brush with your face, but draw a straight line as if you were drawing on a piece of paper. Literally let your hand go straight down.

On top of robots and metal characters typically being straight lines, they are also filled with (normally) no human anatomy. There is no bone structure underneath a robot, whether it is a suit or not! When you look at a character like iron man, you see the pointed areas that join together the different sections that make up the body. Well, hate to break it to you, but your body isn't sharp looking like that. 

I was excited to do this look, as it was such a challenge. I am hoping you guys feel as inspired as I did to create an old fashioned comic version of Iron Man! 

For those who are not so daring, or straight lines scare you, I will be adding an Iron Man inspired beauty look to my second channel. Be sure to subscribe. Im being serious.

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...
