Hi hi! Before I start, you will notice that all the pictures in this entry have been watermarked, courtesy of my little sister who is a whizz at PS. I seriously should learn, I know some tricks but always forget all about them when I don't use PS on a regular basis.
So bro and I went to Stamford House today to check out some special effects makeup. I wanted to buy the wax thingy to create slashes and skin but they were OOS (out of stock).. in fact many items which I wanted were OOS. These are the 2 items which I bought eventually. A white cream stick face paint, and a bottle of liquid blood. I wanted the thick blood but OOS... will show you a DIY version tomorrow. :)
This entry is also a little 'teaser' preview to what will be posted here in the later part of the week, so keep a lookout for updates!
There are countless tutorials on YT showing you how to create all sorts of makeup.... my faves are Petrilude, Kandee Johnson, Pixiwoo...
So, I just want to try out some wacky stuff. Bear in mind I am no professional like them, or our lovely Sarah here, I am just playing around with whatever I already have, and also just test out a few tips and tricks here. Such as 'erasing' eyebrows etc. Luckily my siblings were kind of fascinated with the whole thing and be my guinea pigs. Here is what we came up with:
I just used lash adhesive/ latex to create the peeling skin, and some clear gloss and the blood thingy. I also dabbed assorted eyeshadow colors to add some texture. All the eyeshadows/ power stuff are from the various 78 palette, 28 neutral palette etc etc etc.
And my sister is like some kind of punked out warped doll or geisha face. I am quite bad at the 'cracks' on the head, but I lurve how I can apply my Illasmasqua Panic blusher and MAC Azalea blusher in all their full glory.
And some pictures of them goofing about.
Yup, I know the faces and neck, ears etc etc don't match....I am just trying out the face paint! :) Reason why I didn't want to buy the kits they sell at halloween shops etc cos I am quite dubious of their staying power and quality. So.... got to invest in MUFE. Haha. Wanted to check out Kroylan at Cosmoprof.. but kind of out of the way... anyway.
That's all, and hope you enjoyed this entry.
