Malice in Wonderland

This weekend I played around with some more costume makeup. I developed my own mad hatter costume and makeup, consisting of a very sparkley top hat, a green dress, some rad tights and shoes, and a suit jackets. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of the ensemble. I did get a picture of my makeup though! (I apologize in advance for the awful photos)

 We're all a little bit mad here

My theme for this was clearly black and green. I lined my eyes in black and dusted green eyeshadow around, and blended. I filled in my eyebrows, and added a highlight. Then I applied black lipstick, and dabbed the same green eyeshadow onto the center of my bottom lip and the underside of my top lip. Oh yeah, and I had fake eyelashes on my top and bottom eyelids. Talk about itchy!

Oh, and I had cool green nails too!

 Bloodhail

I began with the teeth face painting for this one, using my band new Wolfe Brothers palette! Then I added bits of tissue around the exposed teeth using a glue stick. Then I applied black cream makeup on top of and around the tissue. I then went over this with thick fake blood. I dotted some of the blood around my mouth and the gash, and did small strokes on my cheeks. Then I applied yellow and green cream makeup around the whole mouth to make it appear infected. Dabbed bruise like colors onto my mouth, and extended it out to make it look like the other side of my mouth was cut. I cut pieces of thread and glued them in an x pattern over my over my lips. I then applied black and red cream makeup

Demonia

Ahh sweet October, my favorite time of year. The haunting season reeks of blood, and guts, and gore galore! These are the things I love the most. This year has been especially excellent. I've discovered a new love, that I have somewhat of a talent for. Halloween makeup. I'm creating new faces, masks, cuts and bruises. Just another art form I've taken on, with a different canvas. Using simple materials, I've created a few looks to show my love for Halloween.

The Pumpkin King

 This half pumpkin/half skeleton face was created using a cheap Halloween makeup palette I got from Walmart and various makeup and paint brushes.

 Beaten

I creates this distressed look by first making my face pale with cheap cream Halloween makeup and contouring my cheek bones to make them look sunken in with a bronzer. I applied the same bronzer around my eyes to make it look like there were dark circles under my eyes. To create bruises, and a black eyes I applied various brown/red/and purples where I wanted the bruise to appear darkest. In the black eye I used a small amount of black to accentuate the lines under my eye. I dabbed the outer areas of the bruises with yellow and small amounts of green. For the wounds near my eye, chin, nose and mouth I used to same method as I did in the last picture.

  


Satan's Maw

For this look I again just used cheap cream Halloween makeup from Walmart, brushes, and eyeliner around my eye. I only used black, white, and a little red in the lines around the mouth.

I'm Fine

I created this nasty looking wound by applying an FX wax to my cheek and adding small pieces of ripped tissue to the wax to add some texture. Then I stippled on black cream makeup with a brush, and added a little bit of a rusty brown color around that. I added yellow and a fleshy peach color around the would to make it appear infected. I covered the black areas and any exposed wax or tissue paper with gel blood I put onto a brush. I smeared a little around the edges as well, but just a very small around.
