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 hearts any less shaded :)

YouTube tutorial for this Zombie: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iEzg1yBudF8


Products Used:


  • Mehron Paradise Paint (Light Pink, Dark Pink, Dark Red)
  • Mehron INtense Pigment (Hot Pink, Red Earth)
  • BH Cosmetics Red Eyeshadow
  • Urban Decay Anti Aging Primer
  • Urban Decay Eyeliner (Yeyo, Woodstock)








This tutorial was the second of another original zombie I created in 2013, that back in the day was actually done as a part of a contest. Unfortunately, I forget the subject of the contest, but I do know it was inspired by music, as I had painted myself as a zombie with inspiration of "Living Dead Girl" by Rob Zombie. Makes sense, yeah? I also added the lovely essence of a rotten hole that was supposed to be in the shape of a guitar. Use your imagination for that one, please.

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...

Day of Silence, April 19th | 2013

Unrelated to makeup, tomorrow is the Day of Silence. I will be participating in this day long event, which means I will not be making updates on my social networking sites. I support the Day of Silence because I believe in equality of others. I always try to instill in people that it is okay to be yourself. It is more than okay, it is what is right. I believe that people should not be praised for being who they are, but that it should be a given. It is so sad to see that so many people feel that they need to HIDE who they are, in fear of getting BEATEN or unaccepted. Hate is something that has always been a part of the human race, back to when African Americans and Caucasians were separated, back to the wars, back to, I am sure, the beginning of time. Times are changing, the world is moving forward. As our world progresses, the people in it need to as well. We are all equal. We are all people. We are all the same type of species, and we all have emotions. I always say that everyone...

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...
