Day 16 Glitter and Glam challenge

Day 16 has got to be one of my favorite colors to wear on my eyes during the Holidays. Beso Sugar Glitter is a true Red. I used neutral eyeshadows as my base and applied Ben Nye Glitter glue underneath to make it stick and stay in place all day.

Dia De Los Muertos Makeup

 Today is Dia de Los Muertos. We celebrate the lives of those loved one's in our lives that have passed away. Today I celebrate the life of my beautiful Grandma Judy. She was the most beloved, amazing, funny, loving, caring, selfless woman I knew. My heart aches for her everyday but, I know she would not want me to hurt so today I will create and paint in her honor. She was always so supportive of my work and thought I was soo talented even when I didn't. She is only gone for a little while and one day we will be reunited in heaven and we will paint and create together. We will laugh and she will hug and kiss me like she always did.

Here are some of the Suagr skull faces I painted or did makeup for this year in honor of Dia de Los Muertos or Day of the dead....Please enjoy and celebrate with me!

This one was inspired by Diego Rivera's Nude with Calla Lilies painting...As most of you may know I love to paint anything related to flowers and nature. This is one of my favorites it is the first in a series of face and body painting Calacas or Sugar skulls in collaboration with Darling Images and Leanne Hare.

 

This is a couple that I painted to represent the Bride and Groom at the Dia de Los Muertos celebration.

 

Here is a close-up of the Brides Mask. This one had a ton of glitter and a few crystals added to the sides.

 

This one is more of a traditional skull or a more masculine version. I tried to keep the mouth more feminine.

and last but not least for sure, this is a more traditional Calaca. It is inspired by many paintings and tattoo art.

 I hope you enjoy and are inspired as I have been by so many in my life. I will continue to paint these beautiful images in remebrance of the beautiful people in life that have passed before us. Happy day of the Dead to you all!

One stroke Dragon step by step tutorial

 I have struggled with finding a dragon face painting design that would wow little boys and big boys alike so after trying and trying again I have come up with a design that I know will wow all of the guys from big to little.

Tools you'll need: 3/4 flat brush, Fire split cake, #1 round brush for details, #3 round for blck tribal marks, black and white face paint.

Love and fire breathing dragons,
Shawna : )

Prenatal baby bumps

I think my favorite of all things to paint has got to be baby bumps. It reminds me of my own babies and how incredible it was to feel them moving inside of me...the rest of the experience was less fantastic ; ) but, still incredible.
 I've had the opportunity to paint a couple of bellies and here is the latest one...

 This was my first Sparrow and I think it turned out great. What do you think? I can't wait for my next one.
Love and baby bumps,
Shawna

Body Painting number 1

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?

Painting for a Mission

 Today was a blessing for a few deserving Mothers, some really great kids and US! We spent the day Face Painting at the Long Beach Rescue Mission for a back to school extraveganza!
They had games, a bouncy house, food, deserts, cotton candy, popcorn and US! We painted little butterflies, batman masks, spiderman and his nemisis "Carnage", tons of flowers, the Hulk and much, much more.
 My kids came along with us to help out which actually they just ended up playing with the kids who live at the mission and had a good ol' time.
 My oldest son was the photographer for the day so, here are a few of his shots....

The Fire Department came to deliver new filled backpacks and the kids just thought that was SUPER awesome! Today was truly a blessing to ALL of us!! We can't wait to do it again!
