Today is Day 27 of the #GlitterandGlam challenge. Have you been hash tagging along with me? If not add your hash tags so I can see your post too.
Today's design is a mashup of a Warrior Helmut and a Princess crown because inside every little princess lies a warrior willing to fight for herself. I used a custom colorblock using all Cameleon paints for the base and of course Sugar Glitter in what other color but Princessa!
Every year around this time of year I begin to get flooded with private appointments for Halloween parties and this year was no exception. A look or design that is highly requested every year is a peacock mask. I decided to buckle down and work this design out.
I pulled out my sequins and gold powder to create this combination of metal and bling. Ben Nye lumieres were used for the base colors and eyes hadows.
I practice on myself rather than a practice head because I like the feel of skin lol! Here are a few selfies taken with my cell phone. I hope you are able to draw inspiration from this design and create something all your own.
This is my first ever body painting. It was very exciting to do and I learned a lot bout what and what NOT to do like..Do not use DUO eyelash glue to secure sequins because they STAIN the skin!!! I wish I had more time to finish but, I think it came out pretty good for my first one. I can't wait to paint another! Any takers? Book me through facenbodyart.com
You'll need the follwing supplies: Fabric or craft glue Hot Glue gun Silk leaves Green Ribbon Thin plastic or metal headband Yellow irridescent or green glitter Scissors
Step 1. Add a small dollup of hot glue to the inside bottom of your headband then, quickly press the end of your ribbon to line up with the edge of your headband.
Step 2. start wrapping the ribbon around your headband till you get to the other end. try to smooth and pull the ribbon tight as you go around each time.
Step 3. When you get to the other side add another dollup of glue and cut the ribbon to line up with the edge of your headband.
Step 4. Add a thin layer of glu to the edgde and center of your leaves. I just used my finger but, you could use a brush or q-tip.
Step 5. Sprinkle the glitter onto your leaves. Then shake off the excess onto a paper towel.
Step 6. Start hot glueing your leaves onto your headband. Try to squish the center of the leaves together to give the leaves a little height and texture.
