Hey, it’s me, Donna. It’s been a few days since I last talked with you guys. I actually have been really busy. Between moving my baby brother into his college dorm on Saturday, working at Michaels on Sunday, and moving myself in, I’ve been running around.
I still have spent some time being crafty….at finding time to do art things, of course. Since I’m an artist. 😉
One of the things i found time to do (When I was supposed to be packing my makeup…oops) was to do some lovely feline costume makeups.
The first is my lioness makeup. I’m not a fan of this as much since it didn’t look right with my classes and without them I was a bit more blind than I usually am.
This makeup is done with brown eye shadow, white cream makeup, white eye shadow, and a black makeup crayon. I also put on a nude lip gloss that worked really well with it.
If you want to learn how to do it, I used https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQ49TwfefVk done by the amazingly talented Summer Kellsey. This one was a lot of fun and I’ve never done an animal makeup like this before. I wore this around the house humming the Circle Of Life while holding up some of our playful kittens.
The second makeup I played with was just a basic black cat. Wish I had a pair of cat ears to go with this one. Hmm…maybe I should go make…No, I can’t go off to make cat ears in the middle of telling you about my simple cat make up that I did. I took a black makeup crayon and black and brown eyeshadow to do this. I did a basic cat eye (which is hidden by my glasses in this picture) and then made a heart shape on my nose. I filled it in with the makeup crayon as well as the line connecting my nose to my upper lip. I also filled in my top lip with the black makeup crayon.This was filled in. I then used the makeup crayon to put the dots on my cheeks. I then took the eye shadow and brushed the black eye shadow over the darkened area. I then took the brown eye shadow and light brushed it over my cheeks. I completed this simple look by wearing a dark purplish pink lipstick.
I’m sure you’ll see more of my costume and makeup things here since I’m taking a costume and makeup class. I’m pretty excited. Even with the move and all that follows after not seeing people for three months, I’ve been pretty busy making things. I’ve been working on some magic pendants and here’s a picture of a few of the ones I’ve made.
Just a sneak peek on an upcoming post, here is my (almost) finished unicorn head. It’s made of Polymer clay and I’ll go more in-depth on him later.
Check back soon and I’ll show you some more stuff this craft….artiste has been up to. See ya later.
