Halloween

Halloween

I haven’t had a lot of time with my crazy busy schedule (and sickness) as of late to do any Halloween tutorials much less our annual Halloween contest so sadly we will have to skip that this year (BOO!) lol get it? bad joke AnYwAy!!! I wanted to leave you with some inspiring last minute ideas on what you could be for Halloween. I STILL have yet to put my costume together and STILL can’t believe it’s on WEDNESDAY!!!!! Some of my most favorite transformation videos come from a girl named Promise. Here is a great Maleficent!

Her Sally the Rag Doll is SO much better than mine! I was amazed at how she thought outside of the box when making another set of eyes!!!

Though she is a bit unconventional (singing longer than normal in a video) Kandee has an infectious gift to make others happy and to inspire others to reach their potential. Here she is doing Tinkerbell.

Here are some still shots of other fun costumes for you and your family =)

 How darling is this? I LOVE the photography and filter!!!!!

A little Dobby!

 What baby is complete without rolls for days? Put them to their chubbiest potential =D.

Perfect for those smooshies just learning to walk.

 I’ve put this one up before and I still love it just as much!

 Now for YOU, stitches and couture gore

Talk about making your eyes look HUGE!!! Grab some creepy contacts and whatever colors you love.

 Super easy, inexpensive and very recognizable =).

This is pretty stinkin fantastic! Very doable!!!

 I seriously was rolling over laughing after seeing this. How creative!!!!!

 Love that this is skeleton, Halloween meets glamour girl. Impress guys with your art and beauty.

Martha strikes again. Very haunting and feminine.

Fun for the whole family and very easy to do!

Doesn’t he look smart? ; D

Effie Trinket

Effie Trinket

May the odds be ever in your favor ; )
Effie Trinket (Elizabeth Banks) was SO
fun to watch in the Hunger Games. Have you seen it? Wasn’t it great? I
know there were things they could have done better or parts I would have
liked to see but on the whole SO great!!! I was so excited to do some of Effie’s looks, a “girl on fire” look and have just some crazy capital fun!
What was your favorite look? I want to see YOU do some capital looks!!! Send em in and we can post them up =). Can’t wait to see!!!
Guuuueeessss What IIIIII’m Up tooooo?

Guuuueeessss What IIIIII’m Up tooooo?

This is just a practice run of Miss Effie herself. I am SO excited to see the movie and have scored some tickets the day before it opens!!! I’ll be seeing the preview on the 22nd at 7pm and am just SO giddy =). My husband hasn’t read the books but is happy to tag along with me and experience “the games”. Can’t wait to do the tutorial for ya ; ). What do you think? Like I said, this is ROUGH so it’s still not polished by any means!

Cindy Lou and Martha May Too

Cindy Lou and Martha May Too


Here’s a funky look inspired by a request that I got. 
Someone’s was having a Whoville themed Christmas Party and I liked that a lot!
I looked all through pictures to come up with a look
but alas could not find just the right one,
not even in a book.
So I thought and I pondered just what would I do
Then it came to me! I would not do just one Who….but TWO!!!
That’s right not just one Who would do for today
so a new Who was born, her name? “Cindy May”
or Martha Lou? Cindy Martha? Lou May?

I think I’ll need to better hone my Who skills especially since I keep saying and writing Betty Lou instead of Cindy. Oh Jen… but you get the picture =D. Merry Christmas!!! What are YOU doing this year to keep you from being the Grinch?

I wanted to thank all of you for sending it such great entries this year. I will for sure get it going sooner next time to give you more time to send your makeup creations. Look at the amazing detail that went into these costumes. I LOVE them!!!

Concealing Your Eyebrows

Halloween is upon us and for those crazy dramatic looks that call for no eyebrows are sometimes daunting. I don’t feel I did a great job in the Sally look so I did some more research and found better techniques =). Here you are and I hope you enjoy! Have you sent me a Halloween look yet??? Can’t wait to see them all this year!!!
