Masquerade Mask!

Hello dolls!

So, the other day I did a look that was meant to be posted for halloween, but I ended up posting it after halloween. The reason for that is that I feel like this look can be worn any time of the year to any type of event that requires a masquerade mask, and it has it's own theme as it is, which is Masquerade, rather than a halloween look (it can be used for halloween too though). I really love doing these masks! It's so cool because if you have a party, you don't have to deal with buying the mask, holding it when you aren't wearing it, or the uncomfortable itching a normal mask gives your face...etc. Not to mention, it's an original creation that no one else will have! :) This is the 2nd time I did this mask, mainly because it's so fun to do, but also because I wanted to see how much different my makeup application was 3 years later; so I'll show you guys the first one I ever did, at the end of this blog post. I'll show you guys more photos that I didn't post on Instagram (again because I don't like to spam IG feeds with my selfies lol). I'm also attaching the full video that I had made showing off the mask and how it sparkles. Instagram only allows the 15 seconds so that sucked lol It cut my video in half. Video is so much better because it catches all the sparkles that the mask made,  rather than the pictures that kinda made the mask look dull :( Taking this all off after I finished and took photo/video, was super heartbreaking because I was so obsessed with it on. lol But anyway, enough of my rambling...here is the look!

And here is the old mask that I first did in 2011! Lol it's pretty embarrassing how much different that mask is than this one! haha. But hey, we all start somewhere! No one starts out perfect at their art. You can tell how my work changed, not just the mask, but the whole face too. Much more professional, I feel, and that is great motivation for me...hope you guys agree :)

Halloween 2014!

Hello dolls!
I know, it's been a while, i've been trying to get my website back up and running and it's been crazy with school, and work so I haven't found much time for anything. However, I did have time for a few simple halloween looks this month of October and I managed to make them work. So this post will be all about those halloween looks, and i'll post more pictures of the looks that I don't get to post on my Instagram, because of the fact that I don't like to spam people's feeds, so i usually pick my favorite two photos max of any look that I do. But here on my blog, I can make my own rules haha. So... :) Enjoy!

So here is the first halloween look that I did, which was just a simple halloween colored/themed look. I wanted to do a halloween look but wasn't sure what to do just yet, so I just went with the halloween colors rather than an actual costume idea. Here are some photos of that look :)

 

The "second look"... I basically just took the first look and kept going with it into this cool spider web design that I have been wanting to do, and I'm really happy with the result. When I have an idea in my head, it stays in there and won't go away until I actually do it lol. So anyway, I just put in my red halloween contacts, and the rest was all done with makeup and some stones, here it is...

and that was it basically :/ Lol like I said, I didn't have much time for anything else, but I really wanted to do these looks because they were on my mind...
