day of the dead, sylvia ji makeup

so im doing an art project based on sylvia ji's day of the dead girls, and it required me to take my own photos in that style in order to paint.

here's my first attempt:

I'm trying to create emotions to the photos that coincide with the colours, so obviously this one was sadness.

there's still a few kinks i need to work out with the make up but for a first shoot and quite proud of these :), what dyou think?

XOXO

so..

i know iv been completely MIA for a while now.. alot of things have been happening over the last couple of months and iv also been really busy with college work and family, so this is just a couple of hauls, FOTDs etc. that ive been collecting over the past coupla months.

FOTDs

YSL touche eclat in shade 1

jellypongpong cream blush ( i'm absoloutely loving this with my 187 brush! adds a gorgeous glow to matte foundations etc.)

benefit highbeam

andd a collective haul:

Rimmel volume flash max mascara

Mac 217 brush

Barry m nail paints in racing green and red glitter (swatches soon!)

Tshirts by motel (ee! im actually loving animal tshirts atm :D)

this was bought as a last resort whilst on holiday as i couldnt find any of my beloved silver shampoo :( but i am SO glad i did! this shampoo takes about 2 washes to see definite results but my hair feels softer, shinier and looks an all around brighter blonde colour.. i hate when my hair goes brassy, but sometimes silver shampoo can leave it feeling dry and brittle so this product is a life saver in between colours! i highly reccomend!

and lastly iv started a new blog.. no, im not giving up on this one! my new blogs more of a personal thing aside from beauty and makeup, a place to post my drawings & art, life stuff, random pictures i find and some of my tattoo designs/inspiration.. id really appreciate anyone taking a look at it ( and even maybe following? ;)) find it here

also concerning my last post, thankyou all SOSOSO much for all the supportive comments! it really means alot to me that so many of you care!

XOXO

im seriously considering

jacking this all in, iv had so much neg feed back on youtube atm that i jus feel like why bother.. i only make videos to help people, its of no personal gain to me, yet everytime i log onto youtube recently i find messages off people criticising me and its not even constructive, its just hurtful. i just dont see why people feel the need to tell me stuff like this, and while i find it very difficult not replying and saying things back i know it wouldnt make me feel better and it would just take me down to their level. Ugh it makess ya feel kinda crappy.

so anyways i'm thinking of stopping youtube for a while, it takes guts to put videos up and this has completely knocked my confidence.

rant overrrr, il carry on with blogging as much as i can, this weeks pretty busy though - so many deadlines! cant wait to be off for christmass :)

CCO HAULL! andd smoke and mirrors holiday palette!

I was so unbelievably chuffed at what i was about to get, there were a couple of other things i wanted such as mutiny pigment and tahitian sand beauty powder, but i'l might get those at another time as im not sure id use them that much.. seriously though i was speechless when i got in there and saw how much mac they had, i bet the sales assistants thought i was mad watching me frantically rumage through the baskets!
