Mardi Gras Style Makeup

The time is upon us for Mardi Gras so, I thought I would gather up some of my past Mardi Gras style face painting designs and put them in one collection to help inspire you to create your own new masks.

This is my Stained Glass mask. I used tons of glitter and Swarovski Crystals to make it sparkle and shine. The glitter colors I used were by Sugar Glitter Beso, Calabaza, Diamantes de Fuego and Oro. This is definitely one you'd pull out for that extra special private appointment. Reduce the amount of black detail for public events and you'd still have a wow factor design.

This is a Sugar Free design. I opted for a pearl like beading around the eyes to give it an almost SugarSkull feel because as most know that's my favorite thing to paint. I used Cameleon Airline for the base and Cameleon water activated makeup for all of the details.

Airbrush face paint and makeup is great for a Mardi Gras mask that needs to last all night long. I used ProAiir hybrids for the base as well as eyeshadow and Dips for lining.

This Mardi Gras Rose Mask goes to show you that Black, White and Gray prove to be an excellent pairing for a more sophisticated crowd. I use Cameleon Colorblock in Swan to create this design.

Here is another example of how airbrush can be the answer for a beautifully blended look.The entire design was created with ProAiir hybrid makeup and the details were created with Dips by ProAiir. 

Here is an alternative to the full Mardi Gras style mask. It's still just as sparkly and sophisticated with a touch of glam. I used Noche glitter, Diamantes glitter and Elegante Glitter by Sugar Glitter.

I hope you have a fantastic Mardi Gras celebration wherever you are and be sure to share the wealth. Be a blessing and be blessed.

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!

Butterfly Fairy Tutorial

Frustrated by some of the "Make-up" tutorials out there today. I decided to create my own. It's really not necessary to use 10 different eyeshadows and 10 different eyeliners to create a wonderful Halloween or Mardi Gras mask. It's much easier and simpler to use cosmetic face paints.

In this Tutorial I used the following products:
Diamond FX Metallic Pink
TG pearl Lilac
DIamond FX White
Diamnod FX Black
MAC pigment in GOLD
MAC Pigment in Pearl Pink
Pink Cosmetic glitter
Loew Cornell 7000 series # 4

Sweet little Monkey party

This party was so jam packed with cute little munchkins that I had no time to stop and take pics in between face painting and glitter tattoos but, a lovely mother took a few to share. Here they are...

Flutterfly Fairy

What is a Flutterfly fairy you ask? Well it's a Butterfly with a touch of flowers, sprinkled with fairy dust. This little cutie was having her picture taken for her birthday party invitations today and I thought I'd share. Isn't she adorable???

Calavera or Sugar skull

This is what I worked on today
