Easy, Quick and Cheap Burn Effect

Today I'm gonna show you how easy it is to do a burn effect on your arm using just fake blood and black cream makeup.


1. Lightly paint on in blood the area you want to "burn".


2. Outline the area with black.


3. Pressing down hard with the brush and splodge all over the fake blood.
4. Apply more fake blood over the top.


Tah Dah! That's it. If you are in a rush for a party or something, this is great and effective. You don't even have to use black cream makeup. You could use a black eye shadow.


Hope you enjoyed :)

Happy 5th Of November (Little bit late sorry :s)

HAPPY 5TH OF NOVEMBER!

HOPE YOU SEE LOTS OF FIREWORKS (I can defiantly hear them!) AND TRY NOT TO BURN ANYONE!


I did a very quick five minute look which is very sparkly (and refuses to show up on my Ipod camera)


I used my pink, blue, silver, lilac and green Barry M sparkle dust to do the flicks and outlined with MUA liquid eyeliner.


Do you like my edits?


Much skillz.


Have a great evening :D


Reasons Why I haven't been posting, bald caps and whats instore for November

If anyone reads my blog, which is like two people (thanks mum :D) then they would know I've just had Halloween and the zombie crawl. WHICH WERE GREAT IF ANYONE WAS WONDERING!

Here have some beautitful photos



WHATS IN STORE FOR NOVEMBER:

If anyone gave one, they would like to know that I'm planning to do several more looks, including the fact I recently discovered a fab cheap fancy dress shop and purchased a bald cap in there.





AIN'T I PRETTY?
I also convinced my friend to help me as a model for the bald cap so I might post a video and some pictures soon as possible.

Hope you all had a great Halloween :D

One of My Biggest Problems

 ooh Happy November everyone! It's my towns annual Zombie Crawl tonight so expect some pictures :D


Anyway, back to my point. I don't know if its just me but I can't put on fake eyelashes to save my life. I haven't practiced on putting them on other people but when I apply them on myself, I always find myself filling in the gaps with liquid eyeliner so they actually look like they are somewhere close to my eye. Maybe I just need practice or a good tutorial on Youtube or something. Or maybe I'll just invest in some False Lashes Mascara :p


ANY SUGGESTIONS???

Zombie Bite

ITS HALLOWEEN TODAY :D


After watching a few SFX zombie tutorials on Youtube, I decided to have a go at my own Zombie Bite. It's kinda hard to see as I was trying to put some effects on top of them and overwrote the originals :,(

Its really easy to do. Because it was on my arm and not my face, I used my little pallet of water colors as I didn't want to waste my nice face paints. For the 3D bite wound, I used bits of tissue paper and just a couple of layers of liquid latex on top to hold them in place. To get the textured effect around the arm get a old makeup sponge and rip little holes in it.

THIS HAS TO BE LIKE THE CHEAPEST LOOK EVER!

If you want to do it on your face, I recommend getting some water based face paints and just going from there. You don't even need that much on your sponge as you want to get it as thin as possible. 




I was pretty proud of it (And I scared my mum a bit :D )


I will try and post a proper tutorial on this soon.

Harley Quinn Makeup

Sup Guys :D




HAPPY HALLOWEENNNNNN :D

I have loved Harley for a while now and with Halloween being today and well, her Arkham City outfit being my costume, I decided to do her makeup.


For anyone who doesn't know her makeup, here's a picture of her.

Its a pretty easy look to do and doesn't take that long.

THINGS I USED:

Smiffys Make-Up FX in White -£3, Asda

Collection 2000 Color Intense Trio 5. Fuchsia Falls - £1, Poundland

2True Matte Lipstick No.6 -£?, ?

Hello Kitty Make-Up Palette Sweet Kitty Face - £3, H&M

Scarlett & Crimson Beauty Book Lush Lips Edition - £?, Boots

Tutti Cuti Pretty Punky Mascara- £?, ?

MUA Liquid Eyeliner, £1, Superdrug



Steps:

1. First Pin back your hair and moisturize and clean your face.

2. Apply the Smiffys White Face Paint all over except for eye lids(Its quite liquid like so I would recommend dabbing it on lightly and do several layers)

3. Apply the dark purple from the Collection 2000 eyeshadows to your upper lid, making sure to cover all over and make it as dark as possible (If you have a smoky grey eyeshadow you may want to use that instead)

4. Draw on a line with the MUA eyeliner above your top lash (I added a flick on the end out of habit which didn't look too bad)

5. Put on some of the Tutti Cuti Mascara on top and bottom lashes for that POW! effect (lol comic humor)

6. Get a lip brush (or just a thin brush) and outline your lips with the 2True Lipstick (Its quite dark and easily smudges so mind out!)

7. Fill the rest of your lips in with the bright red on the Scarlett & Crimson lipstick pallet and then blend making sure you keep some of each color by itself.

8. Suck in your cheeks and lightly dab on the blusher from the Hello Kitty pallet.

DONE!

Heres some pics from my finished results (Mind that it was dark and my camera is terrible as I was using my phone)

Also I am wearing bright blue lenses in this so don't worry if your eyes aren't this bright.

 


PS: I will try and post some pictures of my complete Halloween costume.

Zombie Alice In Wonderland Makeup

I finally found some pictures from last year's Halloween. I went as a zombie version of Alice in Wonderland. I made my costume and apron my self from a dress I got in a charity shop for a couple of quid and a old white t shirt.

It was a bit short as I accidently under estimated where to cut it to (oops) so I wore some shorts underneath and they worked fine.

My favorite part of this look though was the makeup.


If I could though, I would definitely try and re create this look as it is one of my favorites. I would give it a bit more depth and darken the cut more, but I'm pretty proud of this seeing as a year ago, I really wasn't interested in makeup.

Well done Lid. I wish I had contacts a year ago though :'( and I now wish in the present day, I had a decent working camera so I could capture my newest creations and not just rely on my Windows Phone :(
