Grungy St Patrick's Day 2015 | Manson & Pat Always.

As always my random before bed creations normally end up on my blog. This one I feel reflects a lot of the main artist's who really do inspire me whatever medium they choose or how they portray their work.

Could you guess a bit of Marilyn Manson and Pat McGrath?

Definitely a signature manson lip, black and deep red, overlined with a slightly smudgy glossy feel. 

And the eyes just went wherever they went, messy with quite a graphic liner. Nothing copied from Pat's work (she is in my opinion one of the world's best makeup artist's - google her to be amazed) but still a look that you would maybe see in her designs.

I also added a bit of green and edited some green vibes and suddenly I was like this could be 2015's most modern/abstract St.Paddy's day makeup look! Ha I don't know how wearable it is for many of you guys, but hey smudge a bit of green glittery eyeshadow with a smokey eye if you want to stay away from face paint - will look extra cool!

Hope this inspires.

Thanks for reading.

Tim Burton-esque Pumpkin Skull | Halloween Ideas

Hey everyone!

Today I filmed this Tim Burton style pumpkin skull tutorial, I will pop the video up a little closer to Halloween so you can watch that if you want to recreate this.

If this seems hard, it's really easier that it looks. I only used 3 main facepaints in white, black and silver (also a bit of spirit gum to flatten my eyebrows but that's optional). 

For this costume I would wear all black or a cute black dress, if you are looking to save money!

Hope you like this look! xxx

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!

Dramatic Lip Options | Cut Crease Eyemakeup

I am a big fan of a strong brow and a strong lip. I also love the cut crease technique, so here's a mix match of them all together. Not everyone's cup of tea, as it is a bold look, but as always take what you want from the look. 

Face Products:

Smashbox Original Primer

Bare Minerals Ready Foundation

Dior Honey Bronze

Elf Contour kit

Brows:

MUA undressed eyeshadow palette (Two matte brown colours, this is an amazing palette, super cheap and perfect for everyday eyeshadow looks too.)

Eyes:

Urban Decay Primer Potion

Sleek Delmar Palette

Benefit They're real liner (I got a sample of this, nothing special, I would give it a miss personally because I find the applicator unnecessarily annoying.)

Bare Minerals Lash Domination Mascara (AMAZING product!) 

Lips:

Ombre Version

Mac Smolder eyeliner and Topshop Lip Varnish Field Day

Black 

Topshop Velvet Lip Raven

Also on another note, if anyone is wondering how I styled my hair in these pictures. I set it in small rollers from wet, gives a Marilyn Monroe style which I love. 

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed the style! xoxo

Crazy Goth/Witch/Demon | Halloween Makeup

Starting off my series of halloween looks with one that can basically go with a lot of ideas, witch, demon, goth, evil superhero (my favourite) and it isn't too unattractive, for the single girls haha. 

Pale out face, I used illamasqua rich liquid foundation in pure white, this is optional you could make it simple and just do the eyes. Then from here shade round eyes and out to temples with red, then blend the edges of that with an orange/yellow. Finally for eyes fill in the black smokey eye (gel eyeliner/black facepaint first and set with black eyeshadow), doing it in this order helps everything blend smoother, as if you started with black it would look mostly black and grey, the other colours wouldn't show. Messily draw lines on for viens, do not worry about being symmetrical as it adds to the effect! For black lips, you do not need to buy a black lipstick unless you want too but use gel eyeliner (or whatever you used for eyes) and set with black eyeshadow then apply some gloss! Not straight from wand or you'll ruin the applicator with the black! 

Thanks for reading!! Enjoy xoxox
