Iron Man Makeup | 2015



Oh-ho-ho! Iron Man is one of the trickiest characters for face and body painters everywhere, mostly because he is iron! Robot body paints are always the hardest.

Products Used:

From all of the face and body painters I have talked to, or am friends with, it seems like Iron Man and other robotic characters are always the most difficult. There are many reasons for this, in my theory. Robotic and metal characters tend to be blocky. its only as of recently that robots have been given a smoother, more human like image. Drawing lines that appear to be straight on a curved surface, such as a body or a face, is definitely a challenge. 

LEXTIP: Imagine your face as a flat surface. Do not curve your brush with your face, but draw a straight line as if you were drawing on a piece of paper. Literally let your hand go straight down.

On top of robots and metal characters typically being straight lines, they are also filled with (normally) no human anatomy. There is no bone structure underneath a robot, whether it is a suit or not! When you look at a character like iron man, you see the pointed areas that join together the different sections that make up the body. Well, hate to break it to you, but your body isn't sharp looking like that. 

I was excited to do this look, as it was such a challenge. I am hoping you guys feel as inspired as I did to create an old fashioned comic version of Iron Man! 

For those who are not so daring, or straight lines scare you, I will be adding an Iron Man inspired beauty look to my second channel. Be sure to subscribe. Im being serious.

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.

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...
