I was out in the garden up to my eyeballs in dirt when my son showed me this amazing Kinglet bird. I could not stop thinking about that bird, until later, when I had sat down to spin up some rainbow wool, I had to stop what I was doing and recreate this look in makeup.
I forgot to label on...
Well, since I have not done some intense looks in a while, I decided to have a last hoorah before I leave on vacation next week. I thought I would try to pull up something really fun and creative to share with you all here and on MUA.
Here is what I came up with :
Oh wait- before I show you...
I was having a bad day Saturday. A really bad day.
My husband tried to get me out of the house, so I decided to become someone totally different.
I remembered a video of *chola inspired makeup* that someone on makeup alley told me about, so I did a look inspired by that. It is more on the...
One thing that I enjoy as a makeup artist is *re-inventing* myself from day to day. I always dreamed of being able to do this, and now it is a reality, which I find extremely exciting and fulfilling.
In retrospect of this year, and realizing that I have not been posting FOTD's much on...
Ever since the Sephora catalog came out for the Holiday season of 2007, I have been captivated by the eye look. Everyone I talked to was thrilled with it, and it has bugged me since it came out.
HOWEVER- there is not a product in Sephora that would make it look like the photo.
I was even...
I was having a very bad day so I wanted to cheer myself up. I decided to be inspired by the Antiquitease Colour launch by MAC and I decided to be a golden girl.
As I put my look together, I started to think of all of the people who said that Milady was not for them, and one even said an MA...
yep, Colorqueen did a NEUTRAL eye! Can you believe it?
But this time I am really loving the duochrome-ness of the Family Silver duo.
Family Silver has a rosy copper micro glitter/shimmer in it.
Now THIS Aquatease Color Holiday collection is MY idea of HOLIDAY!
I did two different...
I could not stand it, I had to put on as much of my new MAC stuff as I could. The application is quick and slap happy, but I wanted to see how it all looked. So here it is.
I absolutely LOVE these colors- I have no other makeup on besides the eyes and lips, btw, so the look is not as good as...
Okay guys, since I have not been here for a few months hardly at all, I thought I would give you a treat and post a smattering of some of the FOTD's I have done in the last few months.
All of them are marked and are measuring to meet the 600x800 pixel max, so I hope you can see them all okay...
I have had a terrible time the last two years with people dying that have been special to me (like over 20 people). For a short while, I had a repreive, but the last few weeks have been rather tough.
I found out my best friend growing up (friends for 20+ years) is dying with a brain tumor and...
We were having a discussion the other day on another makeup site about something a famous cosmetic company owner said about no one should wear blue eyeshadow and only rock stars and I forget who else should wear smokey eyes- no one else.:confused:
So, in honor of rebelling against this...
Here are some photos (not too great photos, I might add) from the movie. The trailer at the end of this list is better to see her costuming and jewelry.
As some of you know, i went NUTS when I saw this movie and just HAD to be Esther as my next goal for this holiday season.
I figured it...
This is what I did yesterday- it turned out really beautifully. I used only FL and Shimpagne on my eyes as shadows, and it is such a beautiful translucent look that I find myself quite happy with it.
I took pictures in different lighting in three different places to give a better idea of the...
I decided to do a new twist on a natural face, with FL and MSF. the photos did not turn out nearly as well as I would have liked- it was too dark, but I got enough to show you an idea of what it looked like.
I was thrilled with how it turned out.
Thanks to all of you who have inspired me to...
When I was looking at the photos of FOTD today, I came upon some rainbow eyes. The little eyes looking over my shoulder went berserk. I was cajoled, begged, and pleaded with to do a new kind of rainbow eye on her.
It did not take much twisting of the arms, but I got it done. We hardly ever...
