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. 

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.

Kratos God of War Face Makeup

I've been wanting to do a face paint on myself of Kratos the God of War. I just needed my beard to grow longer. For those that don't know, Kratos is the main character in the God of War video games for PlayStation by Santa Monica Studios. They are some of my very favorite games and I just love the look of Kratos, especially in the latest game set in Norse country. I feel like I capture the face pretty well. His body however I'm not even close. The trickiest part was to contour my nose to look more like his. I extended my nostrils and shadowed and highlighted the rest to resemble his. Here is my final look with a little enhancing in photoshop.



And here is my reference image.

 

And here I am with just an iPhone camera.

Old Man Makeup

Someone asked me to do an old man makeup on their teenage son. So I felt like i needed to practice. I tried a few things that didn't work before I settled with this look. I really like how it turned out. Only did half of my face.

Skeleton Bandana Makeup

We've been seeing a lot of neon and glow in the dark face makeup lately and so we wanted to try it too. We decided on this one. A sort of biker skeleton bandana look. It looked so cool in black light but also in regular light. I'm excited to try more with neon and black light paints.

Upside-down Face Makeup

I look forward every year to doing more face makeup from ideas i've seen on instagram and the internet. My sister Gina and I were looking for one to do last night and came across a few of these upside down face ideas. I thought it would be fun to try. It took a lot longer than expected because the nose and lips have to be just right or it looks terrible. In the end it turned out pretty cool and trippy.

Here is one upside down:

Cyborg Face Makeup

This was a halloween morning makeup on my sister. It was my first time using a metallic silver pigment from Mehron. It looked so good shimmering in the light. Very terminator, robot, cyborg kind of look. Excited to try that makeup again.

Day of the Dead - Dia de los Muertos Makeup

Another makeup experiment on my sister Gina. We usually find a reference for exactly what we want to do but this time we used a few ideas. Turned out pretty good.

Sea Goddess Makeup

This makeup was a lot of fun. It shimmered and shined in the light. Her costume was complete with tribal tattoos and mermaid leggings and a triton staff. Amazing!

Sea Creature Mermaid Makeup

I decided to practice some more makeup and techniques on my sister again.

skeleton face makeup

Ok, here is another friend I did a skeleton face makeup on. I love how it turned out.

Day of the Dead Makeup - Teal color

I had a lot of fun doing my friends makeup last week. Day of the dead is such a fun theme to do because you can change your colors and patterns and add jewels and flowers etc.

Scarecrow Makeup

Let the fall season begin! To kick it off, my sister was willing to let me paint her face again. This time we went with a scarecrow look inspired by the talented Baren D facebook.com Visually Similar Results Button

I thought it turned out rather well and it was a lot of fun to do. I was filming the process but ran out of battery and memory. UGH! So hopefully the next makeup will work better to post a youtube.

Happy Haunting!

Grinch Face Makup

I've been part of a foodies group for a few years now where a group of us get together once a month and make recipes we've never made before. We usually pick a theme or country and its been a lot of fun to try new foods. This month the theme was Who Food. Our inspiration was the movie How the Grinch Stole Christmas. People brought Who Hash and Roast Beast Wraps and Grinch Balls etc. The table looked amazing and the entire night was a lot of fun. I decided the Grinch needed to show up to this. And so it was an excuse to do another face makeup on my Sister. I think it turned out great!

Oh and here is a video of some fun we had in a store... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNAQoxFQc2k&feature=youtu.be

Halloween Face Makeup

Its been a fun Halloween season to work on crafts and props and especially makeup. My relatives all wanted their faces done so I took a saturday and did four in a row! I thought they all turned out really well. Gina was some sort of cracked face infected something. Jay was Frankensteins monster. Shea was the Cheshire cat and Amanda was Day of the Dead.

Check out the how to video for the Franky Monster here:

Zombie Pumpkin Makeup - How To

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG04aoQ9b3Y

Ok, so I saw this makeup online somewhere and I wanted to try my own version of it. I loved how it turned out! This was my first time videoing a How To video as well. Ran into a few technical difficulties. Ran out of memory a few times so the video is missing some details but should give you the idea.

Day of the Dead Makeup and Costume

So every year a little boutique (Secret Haven) puts out all their Halloween and Fall decor and holds a sort of Grand Opening. They employees all dress up and encourage customers to do the same. There is a grand prize and also 10 best costume winners. Last year I won the grand prize when I went dressed up as Mr. Fredricksen from the movie UP. See post: http://amasonsayswhat.blogspot.com/2014/01/carl-fredricksen-from-up-movie.html

This year my sister wanted in on the costume fun. So we both went as Day of the Dead characters. We both were picked as two of the ten best costumes. We are waiting to see if we win grand prize! I had made my costume for a party last year. But my sister needed to jazz up the makeup I did on her. So we ran to Dollar Tree and bought a bunch of flowers and made her a head band and veil. It all came together quite nicely I think.

Frankenstein Face Makeup

Here is another makeup I did on my sister. She actually slept with this on so that she could have it done the next day on Halloween. To our amazement, it still looked really really good.

Dia De Los Muertos Makeup - Part Two

Ok so i've had some more practice with face painting. This time i've added some jewels around the eyes. The hat she is wearing is one that I made for my day of the dead costume. It looked so good with her makeup. We were able to show it off at a Halloween in summer festival. So much fun!
