I think this may be one of my favorite looks I've ever done! When I was at the craft store - a wonderful supply store for Halloween makeup videos - I saw these pretty butterflies meant for home decor, and I thought how great they would look incorporated into a makeup look!

To kick off my Halloween makeup transformations this year I wanted to try a new Vampire look. Some of you might remember my first Vampire makeup from several years ago, which is now my most viewed video to date on Youtube. How awesome! Instead of doing the more typical red and black color combination for this one, however, I wanted to focus mostly on cool blues. I gave this look a different spin with the stylized veins creeping down from the eyes, and the witch-like razor sharp matte black claw nails.

So Rihanna stepped out at this year's New York Fashion Week at an afterparty rocking some fierce blue lips. It was such a cool-as-a-cucumber, edgy look that I knew I just had to do my spin on this. I personally love the blue lips and feel this makes the look unique, but if blue lips aren't your thing, they can easily be replaced with a vampy deep burgundy for a fall, or even a nude color.

September is upon us and I'm gearing up for some richer, deeper, sexy, smokey looks for the fall and winter season. Today I wanted to combine a rich, dark teal color with a vampy burgundy, and here's how it came out. I hope you like it!

Taylor Swift released a new music video called Wildest Dreams, which channels English Patient vibes - you know, the movie? Some people have criticised the video for apparently being racist - um, really? Wow, is there nothing else the world can get upset about than over a silly music video? Let's see, Syria, refugees situation all over the world, female genital mutilation...
Anyway I'm getting a little off topic here, but - her makeup was flawless. She definitely has that old-Hollywood glamor look down pat. Here's my recreation of the look, check out my full Youtube video below for the step-by-step tutorial!

As we're heading closer to September, a lot of students will be heading back to school, either high school, college or grad school. I always get a lot of requests at this time to show some back to school makeup ideas, using affordable products. So here's a really simple and easy look I came up with. This shouldn't take you any longer than 10 minutes in the morning to do, and uses only a minimal amount of products. I hope you enjoy it!
I hope you have a wonderful start back to school, and please let me know if you want to see any other Back to School type of videos - maybe even some non-beauty related? Share your ideas in the comments!

This super bright and fun look was a creative fart of my brain that came out of purchasing a really inexpensive dupe of the Make Up For Ever Flash palette, which I showed and talked about in my last Haul video, if you missed it.

This look is inspired by Rihanna's music video for Bitch Give Me My Money, in which she wore some seriously bright red eye makeup and dark, gothic looking lips. Keep reading for the inspiration picture, video tutorial, and all the products I used!
Is there anything more electrifying when it comes to eye makeup than a popping electric blue? Well, neon yellow maybe, but that's just a tad difficult to pull off! So here's my version of a neon blue look. Does that even exist? Neon blue? Not sure, but I love how this came out!

It's been such amazing spring-like weather here recently, so I was in the mood to create a really fun and colorful look for the upcoming season. Somehow these colors remind me of candy or bubblegum! You be the judge...

Recently Kim Kardashian has appeared in the press a lot due to her very controversial (and very photoshopped) Paper Magazine nude cover and photoshoot. I, however, think she looked so much better and more refined at a recent product launch party in London.
I really enjoyed the makeup look she wore here, so I though I would recreate it!
I'm a big fan of soups in the colder months of the year. They're fast and easy to make, and you can really get creative with with ingredients you use and a great way to eat the cold climate vegetables that are in season now.
Here it is, my personal "crowning glory" of this year's Halloween videos. I give you Marie Antoinette, post-beheading with a re-attached head in the Afterlife!!
When I began to develop the concept for this video, I knew I wanted to do a different spin on Marie Antoinette than many looks out there for this historical figure. I didn't want to go down that stylized, over-the-top cartoonish look popularized through movies; rather, I still wanted an element of realness to the former Queen of France.

I'm not trying to toot my own horn, but I absolutely love this look so much! Looooove! Can I please walk around like this every day and it be totally normal? There's something so chic about alabaster skin, dark makeup, and a veil. I definitely need to get some kind of a fascinator veiled hat pronto, because I totally want to wear this in real life. Hah!
I had so much fun creating this Evil Sorceress look for my Halloween video series. I've had many requests to do a purple witch look (I did a green sexy witch look years ago which you can see here) and I wanted to turn this one into a sorceress. What's the difference, you say? Well, I always thought Sorceresses were more high class than witches, but what do I know? LOL!!
Watch my video tutorial below to see how to recreate this look, and how it looks with my full costume. I have a 20% off coupon code for you if you're still shopping around for a Halloween costume online, woo yay! I hope you enjoy this one - what are you dressing up as this year?
Remember the 90s? Supermodels, iconic Covergirl and Revlon makeup ads, baggy pants, vests, pendant necklaces and some pretty questionable music styles (aside from grunge, which was awesome, RIP Kurt Cobain).
90s makeup, on the other hand, has a pretty terrible reputation nowadays. Drab everything-brown tones, brown lipstick, noticeable lipliner with light lipstick. But there were also some pretty iconic looks, be it from supermodels like Cindy Crawford, or from TV shows like Beverly Hills 90201, Star Trek The Next Generation, etc.
I wanted to revisit the 90s with this look, but also make it slightly updated and wearable for present day. Here's what I came up with!
Halloween isn't all about looking cute and sexy, some people prefer the darker and scarier looks, so here's an especially gruesome one: The Chelsea Grin! This is a form of torture where a small incision is made on the side of the mouth, then the victim is inflicted severe pain, causing him or her to scream, tearing the sides of the mouth. Fantastic!! Kidding, obviously. I modified the classic chelsea grin to make it look like the sides of the ripped mouth has been stapled up again.
This is my first time trying a full blown special effects makeup look. I did a trial run to get some practice with the materials, but obviously I'm not perfect at it yet. I made a few errors here which I'll correct for my next SFX look I'm planning. I'm just excited to do more of these looks and improve my technique. We all have to start somewhere! I always found special FX makeup super intimidating, but I think just like regular makeup, you just need the right tools and products, and then practice, practice, practice... It was so much fun to do a really bloody and gory Halloween look!
It's Halloween season on my channel, and I am so excited to kick things off with my first look, this time I'm doing DC Comics super villainess POISON IVY! She's green and mean, and this costume will definitely be a head-turner in a crowd!
I had so much fun doing Poison Ivy's look, and this look has been so frequently requested over the years that I knew it was time to finally do it.
I hope you love this look! Do you know what you're dressing up as this Halloween?
Nicki Minaj's latest music video offers plenty of juicy booty shaking, but also a fabulously beautiful makeup look on our lead protagonist. Nicki's face was very contoured and highlighted bringing out her bone structure, her eyes were a super sultry bronze and gold, and her lips were a rich pink. Although my coloring is so very different from Nicki's, I wanted to do my take on the look.
