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.

Alice Madness Returns Makeup Series | 2014

HOLY ALICE MADNESS RETURNS! You have no idea when I tell you that Alice: Madness Returns was my entire life when I first stated to play this game. To this day, Alice and her story  continue  to inspire me when I am having artist block, and overall the story of Alice in Wonderland itself will always have an influence on my style of work and imagination. I love the story of Alice, I love the patience and manners, the madness within her mind, and the creativity that spews from her noggin. While Alice in Wonderland has many renditions of her story and imagination, Alice: Madness Returns is a video game that explores a darker version of events that lead her to enter "Wonderland." This game is pretty graphic, as well as has an extremely dark story line, so I absolutely would not recommend it for kiddos. While parental discretion is advised for the game itself, my tutorials of the characters are pretty safe (other than y'know, plastic knives, rather frightening characters, an...
