why?

there have been so many break ins and theft incidents on my street lately. I honestly think people who get caught stealing cars (or killing animals for that matter too) should be publicly stoned to death. I'd be there every time. With bells on

Whiteout

I worked on a video for AUTs Risk & Adventure Fashion exhibition this week, which was insane!

Highly conceptual fashion art goin on right there. In terms of makeup - the look was zombie mannequin. I wanted the girl to be very pristine and perfect and the guy to be kinda destroyed and deconstructed looking - video tutorial to come but have a look at the shots below for now!

Those fashion students have amazing creative talent and skill - we had an awesome time though I felt kinda sorry for the models!

Enter a great idea...

hey guys - first post!!!

lil introduction for you - this is a safe place for anyone remotely interested in makeup to learn and experience makeup and the cosmetic industry.

I'll be showing you upcoming looks, how-to video tutorials, behind-the-scenes clips at shows and events and product reviews.

Basically this is going to be a platform to allow those of you out there to view my work, provide feedback and just see what I do and how I do it!

A couple things:

1. I do not consider myself the best artist that ever lived - I can only show you my approach to creating different looks, if you or your friend is a makeup artist thats fantastic and in no way am I saying I know better but we can always learn something, right!
2. Just because I may happen to use a specific brand doesn't mean you have to rush out and buy that same one - always try to use what you have!
3. The way I apply makeup is certainly not the way everyone else does so feel free to change it up and do what you do best
4. I am always interested to hear when people like something I've done or have tried out a tip or trick I posted so let me know!

Any requests - just get in touch!
