Brains....

Ok. Ok. Ok. So I know it's way past Halloween and it's even closer to the Christmas. But I just couldn't pass this look by and not a bloggity on it. I used this look for a Zombie Pub Crawl that Minneapolis/St. Paul had and this was my trial run. I used the tutorial that Petrilude does. If you ask me he's a bloody genius.  The contact I used I got from You know it. It was super cheap and super fast shipping.

For the special effect stuff I placed and order to Mehron. I used the liquid latex in beige, the bruise wheel, coagulated blood.I also used MAC Chromacake in Red (pro product) It was my first attempt at anything of this nature and I absolutely love it!

For the shading and grossness I mainly used a few MAC shadows. For the most part I used Shadowy Lady which is a matte deep purple. I also used Typographic which is a deep gray that is also matte.

To make it look like sores in the open red area I used Deep Purple pigment(pro product) and dabbed some in with the coagulated blood. The day of the crawl I used rice to look like maggots. :D

Bawdy Blue a Burlesque Revue

This look is very dramatic and very fun. I love to do this look for the burlesque troupe that I am a part of.  First I always start of with UDPP and then NYX jumbo eyeshadow pencil in milk. For the lid color I use "Chase" from the UD 15th Anniversary palette and MIA from the same palette for the crease.  That combination alone is gorgeous. That's coming from someone who usually does not like gold eyeshadow.  To bump it up a notch for the show I use my LA Splash eyeshadow sealer for a sticky base for the glitter. Before that dries I use NYX Glitter on the Go in Mayan Gold.  It's a lovely true gold color with specks of holo in it. I love me some holo! MAC blacktrack fluidline was for the eyeliner and MAC smolder eye kohl for the water line.  Play it up with some bold lips. or tone it down with a nude lip.  Either way it's to die for. :D

My go to Smoky Eye and some Nails

Back and ready rock! I have made a wonderful purchase which will make my blogging and youtubing much better and more frequent. ::Fingers Crossed:: I purchased a Nikon D3100 DSLR. A fancy pants new camera. Much better quality pictures. So here goes!

This is my go to smoky eye for when I am either pressed for time or the creative juices aren't flowing. but this time i paired it w/ a bold lip.

The silver is #82 (I believe) from Makeup forever. I put that all over the lid.

Then a shimmery black. I used a black from some obscure Victoria's Secret quad I bought years ago. Oilslick from UD or Black Tied from MAC would do the trick. Blend that on the outer half and into the crease. You can use a transition color too...but I forgot. I used an ivory matte color for the highlight.

The liner is Blacktrack from MAC and Smolder eye kohl from MAC as well. The cheeks I used well dressed by MAC for a dainty pink flush

Then I paired it w/ Vegas Volt l/s from MAC and Wonderstruck lustreglass from MAC.

The nails are Essie's something blue and then the silver and black nail art brushes from Walgreens.


Until next time...

EOTD

Alright here is a makeup look that I'm really liking. Neutral-ish, with some color. Gold and Navy is love.

What I used:
Urban Decay Maui Wowie (all over)
Urban Decay Smog (crease)
Urban Decay Darkhorse (deep crease)
Mac Star by Night (bottom lash line)
Line Stiletto eyeliner with Star by Night to set the liner
Urban Decay 24/7 line (waterline)

Hopefully these pictures give the look justice. It's very seductive and smokey. And I love playing up neutrals with color on the bottom lashline.
