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.

Nyx Face Awards | 2013

Eek! It has been FOREVER since I last wrote on my blog. Things have been incredibly hectic for the past couple of months now (In a good way, of course!). My fingers are super sore from being poked at the immediate care yesterday ( boo... high blood sugars... ) but I know that I am going to end up typing up a storm right now anyways! As all of you know who follow me on  Facebook , my  YouTube Channel  has been entered in a competition called the  Nyx Face Awards ! I had submitted my YouTube channel to the competition in hopes to make it into the top 30, and I did! I was in complete shock, and extreme excitement! A follower had messaged me informing me about the competition (Good ol' Kristi Jo!). I am so glad that I checked out the link, and that she was so kind as to let me know it was going on! Anyways. The perks of this competition: EVERYTHING. The first place winner will receive $25,000 and a beautiful glass trophy! Of course, there are other incredible perk...

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...
