Wicked Witch Makeup

 This year we settled on doing this witch makeup. I think it turned out pretty good. She's mean and green and has quite the snarl and hairy warts. Her eyes are dead as if she's ready to cast a spell on you. One can only wonder how many children she's ate. 

Audition Tape for the tv show "Making It"

 I have created and make so many things over the years that I decided to make and send in an audition tape for the NBC tv show "Making It". A show about creators and makers with hosts Nick Offerman and Amy Poehler. I didn't get chosen for call backs but I was happy I spent some time creating this video of some of my projects. Hopefully you're inspired to create something of your own. 

Beauty and the Beast Makeup

 Gina came over and we looked up different makeup ideas on Pinterest and found one for half beauty and half beast. We loved the idea and so we tried it out. We are pretty happy with the results. It was such a fun to do. We even turned on a live Instagram video and a few people watch the process which was cool to do. 

Spider Face Makeup

Didn't get around to doing too many face paints this year but here is one that turned out great! I hate spiders so I'm surprised I was even able to paint this. The trick here is to get the shadows to look right. That way the spiders look like they are 3D.

Social Media Face Makeup

What lies beyond the 3 inch square is not always posted. At times we may face feelings of heartache, failure, rejection, anxiety, depression... be careful not to compare your behind the scenes to someone’s highlight reel. Comparison is the thief of all joy. There’s more than meets the eye.

Makeup by Mason Barton. Inspired by simple.symphony. After seeing this image we couldn’t wait to recreate. I believe it portrays a reminder we could all use. Peoples lives on social media are not perfect and we must remember we all face challenges people may not even know about, so be kind always.
