brown smoke w/ purple & gold

This FOTD was ACTUALLY taken on Saturday. I know, I know *Blogger FAIL* but anyway, I did the makeup for a photo shoot that day and was going for a dark look to match the model's style. I didn't do much since the model was a male rapper (local), I just dusted his face up some and added some black eyeliner for his "Gothic" style. And I have zero photographer pictures to post of him right now, so whatever. It's all about experience people lol.

*Sorry, two pictures isn't really enough. But I was in a rush & had a last-minute BHD! (BAD HAIR DAY) haha!*

Don't get me wrong, even though I had fun creating this look..I've gotten so use to wearing little to almost no makeup at all. I have fun doing looks on other people, but it's fun to play around with my own looks as well. So I guess I haven't lost my "funk" too much :) Makeup funk..'cause smelly funk is what you DEFINITELY wanna get rid of! XOXO

Super Late FOTD.

This look is alllll the way from Saturday. *Sue Me* I strongly believe in the "natural" look with a little makeup. Too bad I've faced reality and realized that my no matter what I try to do, my face will probably always look a little bit off, since it's always been lighter than my neck. WTF.

Happy Late Valentine's Day.

Hey everyone - I'd have to say that this Valentine's Day weekend was pretty sweet for the most part! No, I didn't have a 'special Valentine', nor did I want one....

Okay, I did but people play too much so I said EFF IT lol.

This look was inspired by MakeupByTiffanyD on YouTube.

*OOH, OWL EYES! =0



The look itself was beautiful when I first did it, but these pics were taken after wind blowing, snow, & laughter. I'd say my makeup held up pretty well, but I wasn't going to retouch everything so it had no choice but to. So, my second pic sucks, which is actually okay cause it makes me wanna do better next time around!
