Tiger face painting ( Last design of 2017)

 2017 was a year of change, a year of endings and new beginnings. I am so looking forward to continuing moving onward and upward in 2018 with God first above and beyond all else. Without Him I am nothing. All the glory goes to Him. I live because He lives in me. I will live each day this year to please Him. Will I stumble? Will I fall? Maybe, because I'm only human, but I can get up and try again because His mercies are new everyday and for that I am humbled and thankful. My only hope is that I can be a blessing to every person I come in contact with this year and through that I will find my blessing. What are you most thankful for as you reflect back on this year and what do you hope for in 2018?

 Leave a comment below. I would love to share in your journey as well as welcome you to share in mine.

 I just want to say THANK YOU to my family, friends, clients, students, customers and fans who continue to support what I do and have been a blessing to me in 2017. I couldn't do any of it without all of you! Please enjoy this last face paint of 2017 and my top nine designs as liked by all of you who follow me on instagram.

Blue Sugar Skull Makeup

 This is a Sugar Skull makeup design I created for a Sugar Face & Body Art job during the Dia de los muertos season. I wanted to incorporate the teeth to give it a bit more of a realistic look. I also used dark browns and blacks to create some shading and more of an aged look.

Kryolan Face Paint

Cameleon Face Paint

Ben Ny Lumieres

Inglot Matte Shadows

Jouer Lip Creme

Sugar Face & Body Art Glitter

Sugar Face & Body Art Flower crown

New face painting classes with Shawna Del Real for 2018

 This past summer I announced I was going to offer a Sugar Skull workshop with my partner in crime Ronnie Mena and the response from cities all over the U.S. was incredibly surprising! I was shocked at how many face painters and makeup artists wanted to learn our style of makeup and face painting in a hands on workshop. It was so successful we were asked over and over again to come back and offer a 2 day workshop next year...shhhhh that's in the works now.

 Although I've traveled for a few years teaching, this past year of touring the U.S. was the first major full time season of teaching and through it I quickly realized there was a higher demand for more of my fusion beauty style of makeup and face painting, so with that I have put together some new workshops and revamped some of my older workshops for the 2018 season. 
 All of my students will tell you I am huge on teaching skill and technique as that is what I believe makes me a better artist and will make you a better artist. You can never stop learning when it comes to anything you love and feel passionate about.

 In 2018 I will be offering 4 workshops to choose from with workshops 1 & 2 and workshops 3 & 4 being complements to each other for 2 days of learning fun. You can check out which face painting workshops I will be offering here 

 I am currently in the planning phase and am looking for willing hosts from cities and states all over the world. If you would like more information on being a host or know someone who would be please contact me. I will send you everything you need to get started hosting a face painting workshop in your area.

 I am looking forward to seeing some new faces this season and some old friendly faces as well. I love meeting you all and do plan on spending more time in each city getting to hang out with and have some free fun time I promise!

Las Vegas Sugar Skull Workshop

 Oh boy was it HAWT in Nevada and not just because Ronnie and I were there (insert wink emoji here).
 We drove in since we live in Los Angeles and it's only a couple of hours away but, boy oh boy was it hot and a little dangerous considering it was monsoon season. Um, I think we may have missed the memo on that one but, the ladies in our Las Vegas class made us forget all about the danger lurking outside with their awesome artistic skills.

 Many of the artists in this workshop had previously taken a workshop with either Ronnie or myself and came in from Arizona, Northern and Southern California (This makes me very happy because it shows me how far you are willing to go to learn and potentially work with me), Utah and New Mexico! A couple of ladies drove 10 hours to take this class and we were so glad they came because we had no idea there was a huge group interested in having us bring a workshop to your area. If you live in New Mexico please get in touch with Theresa Montano if you would like to take a workshop with Ronnie Mena and myself. Every single person in this workshop worked so hard and had so much fun. It was a great day but, as always exhausting at the end. If you ever leave our workshop with a ton of energy then, you must have been sleeping in class hahaha.

We want to thank Pamela who hosted the class in her home and provided some refreshments for all of the students and even had a few students spend the night. That was very kind of you.

 I also want to say a big thank you to my awesome comadre and lady boss Samantha Summers who opened her home to us and took us out to some of the best dining spots in town! If you ever go to Las Vegas you need to check out SkinnyFats. Oh man that place was so bomb! She couldn't make it to the workshop but, sent my Goddaughter Valerie instead who got to be the first model in class. whoop whoop. She is so beautiful inside and out.

And last but, not least. THANK YOU to all of the ladies who registered for this workshop. You all did such great work and gave your all to every lesson being taught. We promise there will be more to come soon.

 Please enjoy some photos from our workshop below.

Our next Sugar Skull Workshop is in Seattle, Washington on July 26th.

 Hope to see you there! 

Birmingham Sugar Skull Workshop

WOW! This was a huge class. Typically face painting workshops are maxed out at 12 students due to the fact that our workshops are very hands on and we like to make sure each student is receiving enough of one on one attention from the instructor.

 We have made the exception with these Sugar Skull workshops since there are two of us teaching which means we have a second pair of eyes and hands to help but, wow we just did not expect such a huge response from our ladies in the south. This class was double our max. I'd say about 75% of students in this class had never taken a Makeup or Face painting workshop before this and I think they all did a great job. There is definitely some raw talent out there in the south and I'm really looking forward to watching the growth and artwork that comes from this class.

Thank you to everyone who made it to this workshop. You all worked very hard and we are so looking forward to seeing some awesome Sugar Skulls coming out of the southern states of Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama.

If you would like to sign up for one of our workshops please go to my website and click on Classes and Workshops. https://www.shawnadmakeup.com/classes-and-workshops
Our next Sugar Skull Workshop is in Las Vegas, Nevada on July 18th.
 Hope to see you there!

Sugar Skull Workshops

It seems that each year I begin preparing earlier and earlier for the Dia de los muertos season. This year is no exception. I am doing things a little different this season as I have had many years of trial and error to perfect how I go about choosing artists to work with me.

There are so many factors that go into it that it almost becomes impossible to meet all of the requirements without meeting artists in person so, I'm now on a mission to meet and work with face painters and makeup artists from all over the country via Sugar Skull workshops.

I will be travelling with my partner Ronnie Mena teaching, working with and helping artists from all over the United States up their Sugar Skull game starting this June.

*This will now be a requirement in order to qualify to join my Sugar Face and Body Art team.

This is what you will gain from this experience:

1. You will get hands on learning and critique along with homework to continue growing before the season begins from Ronnie Mena and myself.
2. You will be added to my private student group on facebook where I answer questions online and hold once a month live video chats for questions.
3. You will be able to network with other artists in your area for possible job sharing.

4. You will have an opportunity to showcase your skills if you think you are ready to join
Sugar Face and Body Art. (This is not required in order to take our Sugar Skulls workshop but, for those who feel they are ready the opportunity is available.) Jobs are not guaranteed even if you do meet the qualifications but, you will remain on my roster of artists in your area to be called first if a client needs someone in your area.
If larger job opportunities arise in Los Angeles, California you may be called to join us. More info will be sent to you once you sign up for a workshop in your area.

Host city requirements:

 *In order to host a class in your city we need at least 15 students ready to sign up and no more than 20.

 *Workshops are $150 per student.

 *We need a well lit workspace with tables and chairs. Chain Restaurants are not an ideal option. Art /makeup studios, hotel meeting rooms, community center meeting rooms or homes with adequate space and lighting are recommended.

 *If you would like us to come to your city and think you have enough artists to sign up then, please email me at sugarfaceandbodyart@gmail.com 

Workshops will be held from June 2017-September 2017

If you would like to sign up for a workshop be sure to visit my website at www.shawnadmakeup.com

I look forward to meeting you all very soon!

Day 30 Glitter and Glam Challenge

Oh my goodness only 1 more day until the end of this challenge!! I'm just now getting some good ideas! I have one more post for tomorrow and I promise it will be Glittertastic but, in the meantime check out my latest design inspired by New Year's Eve. I created this design based off the eye makeup I posted for day 29.
 I used 2 new Sugar Glitters from Sugar Face and Body Art called Noche Buena and Diamantes. I also used Elegante on the lips in the bottom picture.   I think this design will work well for New Year's eve or any Gala type event.

I can't wait to post tomorrows design. In the meantime check out my album on Facebook or follow via Intagram.

Day 28 Glitter and Glam Challenge

Today is day 28 of the Glitter and Glam challenge. I decided to try one of the newest colors by Sugar Glitter called Mariposa. I used as an eyeliner over a purple Inglot eyeshadow. The neutral color shadows I used are from the Lorac contour palette.

Day 27 Glitter and Glam Challenge

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!

Add me on facebook here or instagram  to see the rest of my fun posts.

Day 26 Glitter and Glam Challenge

Today is December 26th I'm in the home stretch so, I have created something on the fly...haha pun intended. This is my Fantasy bird eye design. I used Cameleon colorblock in Siren by Brierley and Mimi's green also by Cameleon. I used a few inglot eyeshadows in Lime green, green, yellow and purple and the glitter I used was Luces de Oro one of my favorites by Sugar Glitter.  You can view the video and see it really sparkle on instagram.

Day 20 Glitter and Glam Challenge

Day 20 is a showcase for the newest addition to the Sugar Glitter family... Mamey. It's a Peachy Orange iridescent glitter and one of my new favorites. I had so many compliments while wearing it. I think I may need to wear it more often.

Day 19 Glitter and Glam challenge

Day 19 Today's Leopard design was inspired by the new Glitter from Sugar Face and Body Art called Mamey. It's a beautiful iridescent peachy Orange color with reflects of Gold. I was wearing it on my eyes and decided to paint a design to match. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did wearing it.
