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) ^.^

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...
