Dark Fairy Body Paint
1 CommentThe only reason I named this a "fairy" body paint was because of the butterflies I used to cover my nipples. While the butterflies do make the look a bit more fanciful and dainty, I can't help but be reminded of how odd it is that breasts are so loved and feared at the same time. Don't get me wrong, you probably won't ever see me running topless down a busy sidewalk; I simply find it strange that our culture has got this weird female nipple taboo. We've all got nipples. Interesting stuff I'd say. Though I'd like to let me body be free through my body paint art, I'm happy to give respect to those with different view points and continue to cover my nipples (for now!!). :D
The Face that Started it All
CommentWhite Walker.
"Viral" was not in my vocabulary beyond discussions of the common cold. I was a year out of college, working for myself with few strings attached and even fewer securities. One day in May, 2014, the world met my face (my white walker face, that is) and my life decided to take me down a path that didn't make any sense, but was pretty radical none the less.
I'm a HUGE Game of Thrones fan and during May of 2014, I was unable to find ANY examples of strictly face painted White Walkers. I took a stab at it (3 times at incriments of ~4.5 hours each) and painted my eyelids blue because I didn't have access to blue contacts. I can proudly and boldly admit that though you may have seen hundreds of blue eyelid'd White Walkers on the internet, mine was the first.

CommentRipped Zombie
CommentThis ripped zombie is a fairly simple and fast idea for Halloween. With the pairing of makeup and prosthetic transfers, this look was makes for a crazy costume.
