OOOOON the left side! – Emma. OOOOON the right side! – Vanessa. Lets do this thang!….

So Seamus (being the very good sport that he is), allowed us to mess around with some makeup on his face. He was even good enough to shave for the occasion (that’s a friend right there!). 

Naturally, we all assumed we would make an ungodly mess of his face and generally just mess around and be stupid. But surprisingly, with a bit of flair from Vanessa and I, and a ridiculous amount of photogenicity (a word I just invented just for this occasion) from Seamus, we kind of pulled together a bit of an awesome David Bowie/superhero look, complete with top hat and cane.

Boss.

So I decided to test out some colours on Vanessa today. She wanted me to do something in either green or purple to see how they would look on her. I opted for green, what with St. Paddy’s day around the corner. I wasn’t aiming to do a St. Patrick’s Day look really, so perhaps swap the yellow for an orange to add another Irish colour to the mix.

While I was painting her up, Vanessa informed me that I was in fact using the colours of the Brazilian flag which was kind of a happy accident. So here is my (accidental) Brazilian/Irish theme party look!

Home girl representin’!   ;)

This is one of the first looks I created, maybe around a year ago when I was frustrated with writers block while attempting to write my dissertation! Well, my procrastination didn’t hurt me too much since I ended up with a tidy B+. :D

Anyway, I went from just messing around, to blogging away and coming up with new crazy makeup art every week and really enjoying it. After creating this particular look I knew I wanted to take makeup a little more seriously (but not by any means, in the boring sense of the word!)

So let me know what you think in the comments. Feedback is something I don’t have much of at the moment so I always appreciate people opinions! A lot of my looks are a little gothic and dark, and (obviously) not very wearable. But costume makeup is what I find interesting and fun so tha’ts what I love to do.

I think I’ll try out something a bit lighter and more wearable next time to see if I get a good response. A St. Patrick’s themed post will most likely be in the mix also, what with me being an Irish Cailin, born and bred!

So please leave a comment or ask questions about products used, anything!

Thanks, Emma. :)
