Alice in Wonderland Body Art | 2013

Good (morning?) everyone!

Once again, super late night post. It is currently almost 12:30am. I swear, I AM LOVING this whole blog thing. Maybe I just love to talk? Who knows!

Today I began my new Alice in Wonderland theme. It was requested that I revisit this theme (I also did it last year). I think it's a great idea! I am so excited to see how much my mind and creativity has grown since I last featured this theme on my page. So I decided to kick it off with a BANG with an almost four hour body painting session.

This will be a short blog post, but sometimes, at least I think, it's more fun to see the process, than just the end result alone! Personally, I love to see the the middle parts of a piece of art. Why? Maybe because it's just a reminder of how far you came when creating that piece. I think its incredible how much of a difference color makes. As you can see, everything started as just an outline. You wouldn't even know what they WERE until they were filled in with body paint. After staring at a piece of art for so long, you have a tendency to forget that you started out with a blank canvas. You get so used to seeing it, that you need to step away and come back, or take progress photos, to really see the beauty in it.


Here is pretty early in the process! Alice is complete, other than her clothing that still needs to be colored. In the other photo, all characters are complete, they just need outlining and details. The frame was in the middle of being painted.


And complete! Photos from all angles of the painting. 

This is not a tattoo! I created this completely out of body paint and eyeshadow. So, thank you to those who have been saying it is a tattoo, but it is not, haha. It would be a cute one, though, for someone who wanted a very large piece!

I plan on having some cool characters done this upcoming week, as well as some new videos for them :) It is only April, but I am desperately missing Halloween... So, keep these upcoming videos in your mind for a possible cute halloween look as well!!

Borderlands Psycho Makeup | 2014

Writing this in 2019, I can still remember how incredibly proud I was of this makeup look back in 2014. I was so pleased with the shading on the leather portions, as well as the eyes being as even as I could make them. Funny thing is, I went on to actually make a Psycho mask on Twitch towards the end of 2018. Chances of me recreating this look again in 2019 when Borderlands 3 is released? Very high . They actually showed a preview of the game on Twitch, but I missed it (darn it!). I really need to brush up on (AKA learn) how to play FPS (first person shooters). While I love the characters... I have a tendency to die. One thing I never did with this look was put the finger gun to my noggin. I wasn't a fan of that pose, and still really am not a fan of it. I saw a meme the other day that said "Borderlands 1 has one finger gun, Borderlands 2 has two finger guns, Borderlands 3....?" HA. Hilarious. Anywho.

Bonnie Five Nights at Freddy's (How-To) | 2015

Since the online game "Five Nights at Freddy's" became a social media basically blast of awesome and popularity, I had been getting non stop requests to recreate the characters in a body paint tutorial. I see a lot of cosplays in the future! I am also part psychic.

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...
