Sock Monkey Makeup | 2015



Ever want to be a sock monkey on a snowy day? Me too! What a fine Winter we are having this Spring in Chicago. Back to the low degrees and over 5 inches of snow in almost the month of April! Oh Chicago, how I love and hate you at the same time. Mostly love. Read more for products used >>



Products Used:

  • Graftobian Pro Paint (White Swan/Black)
  • Paradise Paint (Light Pink)
  • A mixture of white and pink to make various shades
  • A mixture of white and black to make light grey
  • NYX "Craving" (Grey)
  • NYX "Raven" (Black)
  • Urban Decay Perversion Eyeliner
Oh, how I love this look! This sock monkey was actually a request of a subscriber, and as soon as I read that request, I was all for it! Look at it! What a challenge. I googled and searched everywhere just to make sure that it hadn't been done before, and it hadn't! That made me want to do the look even more. I love challenges, and not only do I love challenges, I love doing things that haven't been done a million times over on YouTube and social media.

One of the struggles that I run into online with requests is that a lot of requests are requested after someone had seen another artist do the thing they are requesting. While everyone has their own way of doing things, and their own interpretations, I am 1000x more excited to do something unique, as opposed to something that has already been done.

Doing new things, and becoming new characters is always more fun than doing the same things over and over again. If you guys have any suggestions of some stuff you have not already seen done, and would like instructions (a video) on how to create those things, comment them on my channel! I read and approve all of my comments manually. No one else helps me run my social media, so if you write, I will always read :) Speaking of social media...

WHAT IS TAKING SO LONG FOR THE DEADPOOL BEAUTY MAKEUP?!

I KNOW, I KNOW! Don't worry, I didn't forget! My room is being redone right now, and I thought it was going to be done today. Turns out, its not! Hahaha! I will be filming the Deadpool beauty look along with the Sock Monkey beauty look before my room is complete (more than likely) ^.^

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...
