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.

Floral Lace Face painting (Makeup Monday)

Over the weekend I had a gig where I was asked do do some makeup for some tween girls. They were having a Parisian themed party complete with beautiful masquerade masks.  The girls wanted me to paint their faces to match their masks so, I thought it was only fitting to paint an adult version of a lacy mask on myself before I arrived.

This is what I came up with. I hope you are inspired to create a lacy design yourself.

I used the following products for this look:
On my eyes:
Bare Minerals eyeshadows in Envy and Chameleon, La Femme eyebrow powder as a crease shadow, Navy eyeshadow from the Coastal Scents 42 Stack Palette, Ben Nye Lumiere eyeshadow in Azure as eyeliner under my eyes and Blacktrack fluid line eyeliner.
Face Paint:
Metallic opal paint from Kryolan and White Shimmer powder from Guerlain
Cameleon white, Custom Blue Rose split cake and custom leaf split cake.

FOTD Venetian style Peacock mask

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.

  

  

  

Happy Halloween Appointments,

FOTD Stargazing Lily Face Painting

This morning I had a last minute cancellation so, I had the opportunity to get my paint on! I have been wanting to face paint a Stargazing Lily mask for sometime and hadn't quite figured out how I was going to do it so, today was my chance to sit down a figure it out.

 The eye makeup part was the easiest but, maybe that's because of my makeup artist background. I have to say I'm pretty happy with the results. What do you think?

I used a custom rose splitcake and leaf cake. Ben Nye Lumiere eyeshadows and Wolfe Black and White for the details.

Tattoo Rose face painting FOTD

 Today's Face of the day is a tattoo Style Rose. This is a super quick and elegant design that could be used for formal events, nightclubs and more. It doesn't get much easier. I used a #3 round Loew Cornell brush with Wolfe Black. I added some glitter gel with a brush since, I have de-potted my Suzy Sparkles glitter gels squeezable tubes into stack-able pots. I find it's just a bit easier and now I really enjoy using them again. No matter what, the glitter gels in the squeezable tubes always get clogged! I hope you are inspired and enjoy this design.

FOTD Blue single eye butterfly

 Here is a pretty little butterfly I painted over the weekend. I used a custom peacock splitcake, Wolfe black and white face paint with a #3 round brush for the linework and details. I added some gorgeous teal glitter to the center of the butterfly and to some of the teardrops.  I hope you are inspired to create and be creative.

xoxo,

This weekend's face painting

I had the pleasure of painting about 35 guests in 2 hours at a local party and let me tell you it was a doozy. I was painting from 4pm to 6pm and with the time change it now gets dark around 5pm so they brought out lights and at one point a circuit broke and ALL of the power went out so, I was painting by the light of an ipad LOL!!
It also happened to be the day of the infamous USC/UCLA football game and as you can see there were a few USC fans.

 Here are some pics from the day.....
