Miss Sinister Inspired Look! X-Men Villainesses Collaboration with Artist Sara Richard Part 2!
Hey True Believers!
It’s been a long while since I’ve posted a new look and I apologize for making you all wait! My life has been crazy busy since costuming season started (which some of you know, is something else I do). I’ve been super busy making new costumes for the renaissance faire as well as the masquerade balls coming up this summer! (Myth Masque and Labyrinth of Jareth). All of that combined with a full-time job has left very little time for me to update my blog, film tutorials, and do makeup on myself. WonderCon is also this weekend and I hope I run into some of you guys there!! I’ll be there the entire weekend so if you see me please say hello! 
With all that said, I present to you Miss Sinister! Miss Sinister, or Claudine Renko, is a female clone of Mr. Sinister, the infamous X-Men villain. She’s just as crafty as her male counterpart, but has more sex appeal. She’s a fairly new character in the X-Men universe, and her fate is currently unknown, but I do hope they keep her around as I think it’d be interesting to see her and a fully resurrected Mr. Sinister go at each others throats. . Her abilities are telepathy and a healing factor. She’s basically Mr. Sinister without his memories.
For the shape of the eye makeup, I incorporated a stylized “S” in using the crease. I also used the traditional colors for Miss Sinister/Mr. Sinister which are the red, black, and white. I also got a chance to use some of the new Sugarpill Eyeshadows from the Cold Chemistry collection I picked up at IMATS LA this past January. (I have an IMATS LA haul video filmed, and not edited, so that will be up at some point where I talk about some of the things I purchased.) And again, I’ve collaborated with my amazing artist friend Sara Richard who took my makeup design and illustrated it on a portrait of Miss Sinister which you can see below!
I do have a tutorial for this look, but alas, I’ve had no time to edit it so it will be up on my YouTube channel sometime in April I hope! (Basically I’ll be quite busy until after July! So I’ll do what I can!)
Enjoy!

Halloween Series: Monster High’s Clawdeen Wolf as Little Dead Riding Wolf!
Hey True Believers!
Here it is, the last of the Halloween looks! I’ve been super excited about doing this version of Monster High’s Clawdeen Wolf as Little Dead Riding Wolf for you all! Clawdeen is my favorite doll in the series and the original version I did of her last year was so well received, that I felt a sequel was due this Halloween! I bought the doll above and thought she was so pretty and the idea of her as Little Red Riding Hood was so cute and clever, that I decided I wanted to be her for Halloween and do a makeup for you all!
I went with the makeup that was shown on the drawing of her because it was a little more interesting with the red on the border of the purple. I also altered the shape a little to fit my eye better. Of course I could have went TOTALLY cartoony with it, but I wanted to also make it a little more real world.
My ears were custom-made by my awesome friend Aubriana,The Mad Masker, who also loves the Monster High dolls as well (Lagoona is her favorite because she’s a huge fan of The Creature from the Black Lagoon 
)! Go check out her work, she’s amazing and if you want, put in an order with her to make you something awesome!!
The wig was a hodge-podge of wig and hair pieces from Arda Wigs.
The teeth were custom-made and molded to my teeth by my friend Leo at Cavallero Fangs.
The contact lenses were the Vassen Hanabi Gold from Pinky Paradise.
The costume was made by myself and my mother, and I changed it a bit to make it more mine.
I hope you all like it!
Halloween Series: Persephone from Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief Movie!
Hey True Believers!
Today’s Halloween look is my recreation of Persephone from the Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief movie (Yay a sequel is coming August 2013!)! This movie is one of my favorite fun films (those films that you just enjoy for the fun factor and you’re not looking for anything deep in) and Rosario Dawson was GORGEOUS in this movie (and I LOOOVED how positively naughty she was lol)! I also have a fondness for the Greek goddess Persephone (I don’t know why, just love the whole idea of her!) and LOVED Rosario’s portrayal of her in the movie. When her husband Hades, god of the underworld, lets her back up on earth to visit her mother, it’s Spring and Summer, but when she has to return to him, it becomes Autumn/Fall and Winter. So right now, she’s in the underworld with him which makes it a perfect time to do a look based on her portrayal in the movie. I tried to get as close as I could to the look, so forgive me if it’s not identical! This look also was great for me to recreate because my skin tone is similar to Rosario’s.
I hope you like!

Halloween Series: Spider-Woman (Jessica Drew) Inspired EOTD!
Hey True Believers!
Today I have a fun, EOTD (Eye of the Day) for you that kind of fits into the Halloween theme for this month. I chose to do an EOTD inspired by Jessica Drew’s Spider-Woman. Spiders and Halloween are a natural match!
I based this more on her costume, than her costume and powers as the green of her venom blasts just didn’t look right thrown in there. I also did a variant with lower lashes, and then some shots without. I didn’t know which I liked more so I’m putting them both in here!
Also, Lime Crime was kind enough to send me three eyeliners, two of which are brand new and unreleased called Rhyme and Reason to try out. I used Rhyme in this look as the gold liner above the black liner.
Rhyme and Reason will be officially announced and available as a discounted set for a 24-hour window ONLY October 22-23. After the 24 hours, they will be gone until their permanent return this Holiday Season.
Anyway, I hope you all like!
Halloween Series: Selene/The Black Queen Inspired Look!
Hey True Believers!
I’m baaaaaaaaack! For the month of October, I’ll be doing Halloween looks for you to wear with your costumes this year! I won’t be doing any awesome special fx makeup like my friends over on YouTube, but I’ll be doing some more sexy/vampy/smoldery type looks based off of a few movie characters and a certain doll who I have a fondness for (For a hint, take a look at one of last years Halloween looks on my blog!).
So to start things off, I wanted to do something vampy and sexy and thought Selene aka The Black Queen would be perfect! She was a villainess who was an X-Men foe and was basically a psychic vampire (she fed off the life force of others). She was a mutant and sorceress who also had the ability to raise the dead (See the Necrosha story line) along with many other abilities. She was the perfect villain to start the Halloween looks off with!
For the color of the eye, I pulled inspiration from the photo above, which has some black and red around the eye. I didn’t go with the black lip (I didn’t want it to read super goth, but you can totally do a black lip if you like!), but wanted to darken the corners a bit and use a deep dark red all over. I definitely wanted to do a dark, vampy, smokey eye with this because Selene just seethes darkness! It also allowed me to use the awesome Gaga lashes Faux sent me, so there will be a mini review on the lashes as well!
I hope you like!
