Hi beauties, I created this look last night, I wanted to go for a dead vampire look.  The wound on my face is not a prosthetic or latex, I made this bad boy myself.  The one thing I didn't put on was the fangs, I might do this look for our annual Halloween party, but I might change up the wound a bit, I'll share pics of that look as well after the 29th!

I did this look fairly quick yesterday I had a hot date w/ my kids (it was my lil man's bday) to go check out the movie Real Steel lol (another reason why I didn't use any falsies on the eyes).  I used brulee & black on the lid and blended it with the brown on the crease & above to remove any harsh lines, for the brow highlight I also used brulee.  Enjoy!

RockStar/Edgy Look!


Hi beauties, so since I'm now officially Urban Kitten LLC's new Makeup Artist, it is my job to create a look for the upcoming photoshoot for their catalog on Oct 15th.  The owner is requesting an edgy look for their biker-theme lingerie line that's coming out soon.  Can't wait.  I will post more information regarding Urban Kitten LLC soon, so definitely check it out!

Halloween Look - Sexy Vamp!


Another quick Halloween look I created, my version of a sexy vamp.  Used a mix of foundation w/ white halloween face paint for the face.  A pink & red mix of eyeshadow for the eyes as well as black on the lids.  To make it look sexy, I used a pair of false dramatic lashes I purchased at the Halloween store by me.  Dark red lips & finally blood to complete the look!

Halloween Look - Old Hag/Witch!


I can't tell you how much fun I had creating this look, not only did I creep myself out, but I creeped my son out as well.  This is my interpretation of an old hag, you could even use this as a witch look by adding the nose & chin for the full effect.  Enjoy!
