Marylin Manson | The Everyday Goth vs An Epic Halloween

I absolutely love crazy, character makeup. Personally I don't tend to listen to Marilyn Manson's music, don't get me wrong, I appreciate a few songs, like many. But I am super intrigued by interestingly, odd people. I recently read his autobiography which spared on this look! I give it a big thumbs up, because he is super artistic and intellectual. I am in favour of this man and others like him, do whatever you want, create art and be happy. (I would LOVE to be a makeup artist for someone like this).

If you would like to recreate this look for everyday, halloween or fancy dress, keep reading!

Firstly you want to cover your eyebrows, I used spirit gum because mine are particularly crazy and grow in every direction, but if you are looking a cheap easy way, non toxic glue sticks usually work! Powder after to take away stickiness.

All the white base and blue is done by airbrush, but you can easily opt for facepaint.

Lips are black eyeliner blended into Mac's Rebel (If its for halloween opt for anything cheap aka facepaints, eyeshadow etc, do not buy an expensive lipstick for one night! Though Rebel is awesome!)

For super quick easy 'chrome grillzz' use tin foil and just fold it to an appropriate size and push around your teeth.

One crazy contact is necessary to complete the look, his is usually white though. Also a black wig, or spray your hair black and slick it back in this fashion!

Wounding.. my friends | Special effects Makeup

Just more of the simple stuff. I now have a lot of time for my blog, uni is finished! I have accumulated many pictures from throughout the year that I was too busy to post about. I like to document everything on here, my posts help me see everything a lot more clearly and it is like a diary for me. You guys still search for me so I figure why not, hopefully these are not too dull. 

Playing around with silicones, probably my favourite medium to work with, blends super easy. There isn't really a story to this makeup, I was literally just playing here and there with no thought. I think the would around the eye looks the most realistic. 

Get used to this little face, we are moving in together in a few weeks. More of the same, Poppy kindly being my model. Nothing particularly special about these looks, or anything I am truly happy with, just playing around. I think I used wax for all of this, back to basics.  

Thanks for reading! Also I changed my blog name back to 'BECCASBEAUTYSPOT.BLOGSPOT.COM' as I found a lot of you could not find me anymore! I guess that will have to stick because I've been doing this too long! xoxox

I just got mugged | Special effects Makeup

Once again just playing around with some simple special effects techniques, especially because the more you practise and take photographs, the more you can pin point what looks realistic!

I am happy with the bust lip but as I look closely at the pictures I can see the latex around the cheekbone isn't as blended as I would like, but that's exactly my point on the importance of photographing yourself. What looks perfect in real life, may be picked up different in the light of a camera. If it doesn't work on camera then your skills are useless!

Products used:

Liquid latex

Tissue

Mehron Bruise wheel

Fake blood (very little, as I went for more scabbed look, as if this was a couple of hours later)

Black gel liner

Thanks for reading! xoxo
