Wolverine Makeup | 2015



Wolverine comic body paint. Yep, that's going to freak out your friends when you are speaking with a drawn expression on your face.

Seriously, trying to figure out what I want my blog to look like is bringing me way back to my Myspace days, maybe even before that. HTML, coding, trying to generally figure out what I want it to look like, it's driving me insane. If there are any graphic designer Lexbots that are bored, and want to have a go at figuring something out, please feel free! This blogs design will probably change 800 times before you see it in its final form. Gah, anyways!

Products used for Wolverine Body Paint:


  • Paradise Paint (dijon, light yellow)
  • Graftobian Pro Paint (white, black)
  • Global Body Paint (dark blue)
  • MadeULook Makeup Brushes (detail, lip, eyeshadow, foundation)


The Wolverine (Marvel) body paint was recently inspired by my trip to Universal Studios Orlando. As an artist, I seem to work every single day, no breaks, no weekends, none of that. Although I am doing what I absolutely love, that doesn't mean that I don't need a break here and there. Taking a vacation to Universal was one of the best gifts ever, not only because I was able to get butter beer at Harry Potter, but because I was able to take a few days and think about so many things, including how much painting myself as super heroes and villains used to relieve my stress growing up. As soon as I walked through the Marvel section of the park, I was itching to start painting again. Mind you, this was the first day of my vacation, and I was already missing painting.

I sense a series coming up.


While on vacation, I had a few days to think about a lot of things. Aren't you supposed to not think on vacation? Whatever. During this time, and after many requests, I decided to start back up on my beauty channel. I will get into reasoning and etc in the future, but for now, I am excited to get it back up and running along side with my madeyewlook channel. Here is the first beauty video in who knows how long, so it may not be the best, but here it is!

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...
