Girl to Guy with Makeup

Yesterday I was beavering away at my kit getting it ready for the weekend at Olympia Beauty but I couldn't resist doing one more makeover before I cleaned my brushes.

I have been wanting to try male makeup for some time and have been researching female to male transformations. As always I like to stretch my abilities and do something that's beyond what I think I can do - it's the only way to grow. So rather than just turn my face into a man I turned to my favourite YouTuber JackSepticeye. Most of you are going WHO? He's a gamer, yes I don't just watch makeup tutorials, who has become quite famous on YouTube with his catchphrases and gaming style. He makes me laugh so hard and I think I watch him more than my boyfriend! Below is another image with Jacksepticeye ( aka Sean) on the left.

I painted one side of my face with his septiceye logo with a black background and borrowed my boyfriends clothes to complete the look. To watch his hilarious videos go to http://bit.ly/11kwHAM and I highly recommend his Happy Wheels videos. Laughter is a great way to unwind after a long day on my feet.

At the Movies Collaboration

Re Fab and the other members of SPFX, Face and Body painting group on Facebook are celebrating reaching 1000 members. They have invited myself and the other members to join them "at the movies" by picking a movie character and getting creative.

As a new addition to the group I wanted to show my support and after a bit of research settled on catwoman. Why? Despite being a makeup artist I don't often do makeup on myself, instead I stick to full face painting to hide behind. Catwoman has always been one of my favourite bad girls with seriously killer lips and fierce nails! Batman Returns will always be by far my favourite Batman. Naturally Catwoman wears a mask but I thought why not paint it. 

Products used:

The Face Painting Shops Cameleon face paints and brushes

Urban Decay Naked 1

The Vintage Cosmetic Company Betty lashes

Vasaline

With as few products as this I managed to pull off a good look. The lips are my favourite part as I had to paint quite an unnatural line compared to my own thin lips. Amazingly they didn't look drag. I hope you like it. I'll probably do another movie inspired look if I get the time. Head on over to my IG @wendyenglandmua where the collab is happening.

Skull Makeup Design

If you follow my Instgram account (wwww.instagram.com/wendyenglandmua) you'll already have seen my skull designs photos and video. I was inspired by the talented Anna Bella MUA who has her own clothing line with her amazing skull designs. She created an American skull which inspired me to do a British version.

Having never painted a skull before it was always going to be a challenge. I didn't expect it to take 3 hours to complete - what can I say, I'm a perfectionist. I'm not happy with the teeth, to much black, nor the hollows of the cheeks. 

Practice makes perfect though right? :)

I used Cameleon face paints and brushes from www.facepaintingshop.com
