Eye of the tiger!

The facepaint I did on myself

 Heyy everyone!!
when I come to pick a design to do on my face or my nails I'm always faced with the decision of what to paint... Which can takes me hours just to pick a design because I have so many ideas I just don't know which to do and in what order. Enough of that rambling though haha!

As you can see the face paint looks more realistic with fur around the edges, I did forget snow tigers have white fur and threw on the wrong coat and only realized when I came to write this blog... erhh my tigers got a tan! The pictures are all unedited, I don't think it's entirely fair on viewers when muas edit pictures to give a look that can't be created - because it's kinda not real, if you get where I'm going with this? I have also filmed a little video clip and popped that up on my YouTube channel and I think I've managed to give a preview on this post. But if you like it, please head over to my YouTube Channel as I will be doing tutorials, some videos I may just film me creating a look so you can see me doing it but if I'm unable to do a tutorial at that point; because I don't know how to show you step by step then I will still show you as I want to bring everyone together and we all learn together!

So this is only my second attempt at face painting, when I was talking about picking designs most people who are new to something might start at well, the beginning maybe!? Me, I just throw myself in at the deep end and sit up in my room for hours if that's what it takes to be happy with a design. Even if I fail, Of course I get annoyed but I just try something else or try to do the same thing a different way... Or if all else fails? I improvise and make the design way more complicated than planned to take away the distraction from went wrong. This deign took me about an hour to do which I hope to speed up as I practice more. This design was actually pretty hard for me to do when it came to the eye part as I cant see properly with one eye so when I had to shut my good eye, well I had to guess where to paint so that bit is a tad bit wobbly.

I will be doing some face paint tutorials over on my YouTube channel once I can decide what to paint on myself, so please do head over there if that sounds good to you, maybe subscribe ;)

First of the paints!

(Image: My mother is my mannequin for the evening)

For christmas my parents got me a bundle of snazaroo face paints, brushes, sponges etc as they know I'm enjoying dabbling into makeup artist work and I don't know its something I can do in my spare time. In fact my room has been decorated how I wanted it but I'm starting to add things and designing my storage units, fold out worktops etc - so it's more convenient for filming, everything will be organised better and all that good stuff aha :D

Flashmob kisses and nails

The nail art on the right is the one I did on my mum.

The nail art I did on myself.

Miss Grinch!

What with Christmas right around the corner I had been doing my own attempt at being festive; by turning myself into Miss Grinch!

Makeup Eraser!

I realize I look strange in these images, I had come from doing my District 10 tutorial - but the lighting is pretty bad so it's just washing it out (the downside of starting out at YouTube).

So this is the Makeup Eraser which started out in America I think. There are so many people out there who go to such an effort to get their makeup off. Me, I don't wear much, a little bit of foundation on my nose and under my eyes as I'm so pale it's actually blue... Anyway! Some other people I know wear a whole face of makeup and 10x the amount of products on their face too. So when I'm doing my makeup tutorials I feel their pain of removing it all!

my first ever sfx and Stud face!

Above is the first special effects makeup I have ever done, which was right at the end of October 2014. Considering I had never tried special effects before I don't think this was half bad. Funny story is... One of my younger brothers friends came to call for him so I answered the door and he said "is har-what happened to your head! You've been shot! shouldn't you be in hospital?!" With that I then remembered that I had this on my head and the poor guy started swaying looking all sicky, leading to an explanation of how it's not real. That is how my special effects makeup journey began basically! 

I have since started up my YouTube channel with tutorials for some of the looks I have done. Believe me when I say I haven't planned anything, all I have is something in my head that I'm thinking of and I go from there. I am planning on getting a new camera preferably a dslr one eventually so I can improve the video quality but for now I'm making do.

I am collecting special effects products, which I plan on also sharing with you. Either on a video on YouTube or blog posts, I'm not sure yet. So I am self teaching myself to be a MUA and showing my progression and journey so other people can learn with me. I am not going to be doing just gory looks, that's just the main products I have collected so far. I will be doing a range of styles and I will be dabbling into vlogs, product videos, tags etc so please do subscribe to my YouTube if that sounds interesting to you!... warning. I am a bit of a wild firecracker so I can be a bit crazy but heyy it's just me :D

Above is a stud face look I have done. I did get one of the studs stuck in my finger whilst I was pressing the back down which hurt a fair bit! But I'm use to doing stupid stuff so it's all good!

If you would like to see how to do this stud face tutorial you can watch it here
