IRISH I WAS A NINJA... But I'm a Leprechaun

I know it isn't even February anymore, but here is an old Leprechaun look I did, inspired by a collaboration from 4 lovely ladies on Insta. And yes, I am actually Irish, so that helps. What do you guys think?

Atlantis: The Lost Empire Kida Look!

This is my interpretation of Kida, who is my all-time favorite Disney princess! She is so strong, independent, and wild!! The actual inspiration was that I had just bought this wig at Naka Kon and wanted to try it out. Honestly, I am very impressed with it and the other wig that I bought. Anyway, a series of Twisted Disney looks is yet to come, seeing as I entered a fabulous contest for them on Instagram, so be ready for that! 

For those of you who are curious and perhaps don't realize, my Instagram handle is @acertaingemini. Check it out!

Rawr... Prrrrrr

Here kitty kitty kitty!

It was latex prosthetics week in class, so we each picked out our own. Some people did ears, others did horns... I did a cat nose, and I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT! Being a feline is actually hard work you know. Also, Man can that spirit gum last! I left this on for at least 6 hours with heavy movement, and it still was reluctant to come off at the end of the night! Moral of the story? Always use spirit gum remover, because otherwise the spirit gum will pull your top layer of skin right off... and nobody wants that. Questions? Comments? Concerns? Lemme know.

Happy Year of the RAM!!!

This has to be one of my all time favorite faces, I just love the monochrome color scheme! It was very fun to play with shading and adjusting animal features to a human face, and I am definitely proudest if this particular face in my body of work. If you guys have any questions, requests, ideas, just let me know!

Collaboration: Here Be Dragons

This was my first collaboration ever, with my very talented friend, Olivia Vaca! It was a dragon look, but mine ended up reading like a corn snake (which I am totally fine with. Corn snakes are adorable!) What do you guys think?

Third Time is the Charm!

It was ScarWax day in class when I did this Avatar-esque nose prosthetic, and I actually had on a different set of colors, but I wiped them off after class to do the iconic, traditional Avatar look that I have come to know and love. The fangs were a nice touch I think, just a liiiittle eerie. I know the prosthetic is visible from this distance, but from ten, or even five feet away, my makeup was seamless! Thoughts?

No People Were Harmed In the Creation Of This Makeup Look

In case you were wondering, it was "Scars, Bruises, and Burns" day in my makeup class. I am really proud of the way this turned out, especially considering that disfiguration and injury makeup isn't really my forté. Definitely came out better than expected. Thoughts?
