Pokemon Series Season 1- Gastly

2012-01-21T21:45:00.000-08:00

Another look for my Pokemon Series, Gastly. The small, but scary Ghost/Poison Pokemon. The baby forms of Haunter and Gengar. Not as powerful as the others, but haunting to the human eye.
This tutorial will show you how to turn yourself into this frightening baby ghost Pokemon using very little non-expensive makeup products that you can find online, or in your local drug store. I hope you enjoy this tutorial, and good luck! =D

Coastal Scents 88 Palette

Prestige Eye Pencil (Black)

Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner (Black)

Black Mascara

Hard Candy's Eyeshadow (Number 274 "Supernova")

This look for Gastly just popped into my head one night without thinking about it. This look was ot just inspired by Gastly, but the ghostly smoke that follows around behind him, which is a deep purple color, and a tint of hot pink. The coloring on this Pokemon's unique body also shows that he's not just a ghost Pokemon, but a poison one as well.

This look is inspired by the famous, well known character, Pikachu. This is a fun, simple look that anyone can achieve and pull off. Turn yourself into the small electric mouse Pokemon. You can even turn one of your friends into Ash if you'd like. I hope you enjoy this tutorial, and good luck! =D

Pikachu... Another season 1 Pokemon and Ash's best friend throughout the series until Ash leaves. This electric mouse Pokemon is the evolved form of Pichu, but his last stage is the well known Riachu.

This look came to me on a ride home from a bar with my brother and his girlfriend, and of course, my love Justin. I kept the look in my head as long as I could. Then came home and put it on paper. It turned out great. I even wear out just the eyeshadow idea that I put together and sometimes an "everyday look".

Charmander is a older season one Pokemon, that is also a fire Pokemon. As small as this Pokemon is, he's quite powerful.

This look is very different and unique from a lot of tutorials and photo's that I've seen over the years of this Pokemon. The eye catcher in this look is my flaming cheeks, which where inspired by Charmander's tail. Once put out by even a little bit of water, the Pokemon will die.

Well, the future inspired me to create a colorful, crazy look that will make eyes pop, and turn heads.

What also inspired me to put this look together was the TV show The Jetsons. That's now on Boomerang. God, I miss that show. xD

You are officially my makeup idol. You've inspired me to go for so much in the future and to never give up when things get harder and harder. If it wasn't for your inspiration, I wouldn't be doing any of this today, nor would I have chosen to go back to school to become a makeup artist. You are truly an inspiration to me and many others out there. Love ya Auds!

Tutorial for my makeup idol! :3

2012-01-06T12:41:00.000-08:00

So, I want to create a special look for my makeup idol. The person who inspired me so much to go back to school to become a makeup artist. This video is going to be a thank you video to her, and it's also going to be a look that is going to be my inspired look for a look that she created back in the past. I'm going to be doing my own little thing to the look to make her jaw drop. Lmao!
I'm very excited about this and I really hope she enjoys it. It's crazy how one normal person like you and me can inspire another and go for a dream.
This video will be posted up later on tonight after I finish putting the rest of the look together, and I will announce then who it's for. After, be sure to check out her YouTube Channel and subscribe! Follow her blog as well, because she is just that amazing at what she does.

I'll be back tonight! <3

NYC Clear Lipgloss

If you're questioning on why I use the lipgloss for this look, here is a well known fact. Your brain is actually made up more of it's own kind of clear liquid than blood. There is blood in your brain, just not a lot. That's why when you get a head rush, it hurts your head because there is to much blood going into your head at once. Lmao! Sorry, just thought I'd let you know. xD

I even edited a picture for Facebook! =D

Whatcha think?? xD

Self Labret Piercing

2012-01-03T17:53:00.000-08:00

This is not a how to video, even though I was supposed to make one for this piercing, I never got around to it, and my laptop shot to hell for the third time. I do explain in the video how to pierce your labret using the proper tools and the aftercare. Once again, I recommend going to a pro for any piercing, but I've been doing piercings for many, many years. So I know what I'm doing to where I won't screw up my face. This piercing can also take up to 6-8 weeks to heal. Everyone's body is different and it could either take longer, or less time.

MY AFTERCARE DIRECTIONS FOR YOU:
NEVER use any kind of soap. Hand soap, shampoo, ext. because you will end up with soap residue inside of the puncture wound, which can cause infection if not completely washed out. I recommend using a sea salt and warm water treatment or a Listerine with antiseptic in it to clean out the piercing. When using the sea salt treatment, leave on puncture wound for about a minute, then rinse until completely rinsed off. I recommend doing the same for the Listerine treatment as well.

I remember the night after filming this tutorial. I walked outside into my living room where my roommate and all of his friends were, and they all thought that my boyfriend beat the hell out of me. Lmfao! At first, we played along, but then they started getting pissed off because they actually thought it happened. So I had to take it off to prove to them it was just makeup. It was one of the funniest moments ever.

After I took it off, my roommate Dylan said it was cool how I made it looked like I whipped some of the blood off my face like I was really hurt.

God, I love how creative I can get with this stuff. xD

Simple Bruising Makeup Tutorial

2011-05-20T19:45:00.000-07:00

I had a lot of people ask me how to do bruising for special effects makeup. This is one of the many ways, and it's simple too. If you don't have the products that I do, just work with what you have, and get super creative! I hope you enjoy this tutorial, and good luck! =D

You can also use a bruise wheel for this look. The reason I like to use eyeshadow is because it doesn't wear off your face as easy as any kind of face paint you buy. Setting powders usually help, but can wear off after a few hours.

Zombie Wound Makeup Tutorial

2011-05-20T19:22:00.000-07:00

This tutorial will show you how to create the wounds like a zombie. Zombies like from Left 4 Dead run around and get beat up a lot. So this takes a toll on ones body. Their is usually a lot of bruising and a lot of blood, but since you already get the idea of bruising and such, I'd thought I switch off to the wounded part of the look.
Now... LET'S GO EAT SOME BRAINS!!! LMAO!!! XD

Turn yourself into the folklore witch, and make the people that chant the name burn forever...
