Rage Against-fotd/Renee

Last Friday Renee came back from her three week trip to Okinawa Japan to visit her Marine husband. She came back armed with Japanese candy, adorable toys and loads of stories. On Tuesday she decided that she wanted me to dye her hair with an added pink streak. We dyed it a dark brown with a gold base since her natural hair color is light gold toned brown. For the pink I bleached the strip with a violet toned bleach and then mixed a bunch of different pinks together. The base was a conditioner with a dime sized dab of Special Effects Cherry Bomb, another dime sized dab of Special Effects Cupcake Pink and the rest is Manic Panic's Hot Hot Pink.

After we finished dying her hair she asked me to do her make-up like her hair. A pink and brown combo with a rocker edge. I tried to use as little black as possible even though black is a staple in most "rock star" looks. When we were done we had a mini "photo shoot" with loads of crazy poses. These pictures are my favorites because they capture who she really is, sassy, funny and silly.

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Estee Lauder eyeshadow stick in Bronze (Made into a winged shape along the lid.)

Detrivore e/s in Wraith (Dark brown with copper shimmer used on the lid over the shape.)

Sugarpill e/s in Dollipop (Bright matte pink used over Woodstock.)

Sugarpill e/s in Tako (Matte white lightly brushed on to the brow bone and the inner corner of the eye.)

Tarte Lights! Camera! Lashes!

lips-

Wet n Wild lipstick Hot Pink with Blue sheen (Rubbed onto the center of the lid.)

Now I'm going to enjoy being snowed in because Ohio weather is stupid.

Not Your Girl-fotd/Renee

As you may recall a month or so ago my very close friend Renee asked me to do her wedding make-up. A day before we had gone over several different styles including a look that was to sexy for wedding make-up. When I asked her if I could do her make-up (Like I usually do. Her face is just wonderful.) she asked me to do something similar to the sexy make-up I did with a sixties twist.

The sixties twist? Where does that come in? Well you see Renee is a HUGE Elvis fan. She can probably tell you every single thing about him. She is loves the sixties era including the mod-ish make-up Priscilla, Elvis's wife, wore. We attempted three different looks before we did this one including a mod like eye that I completely messed up on.

What I used:

Eyes-

TFSI

Nyx jumbo e/s pencil in Milk

Sugarpill e/s in Tako (A pure matte white used on the inner corner of the eye.)

Shiro Cosmetic e/s in Gengar ( A very shimmery brown applied all over the lid.)

Darling Ghoul e/s Witch and Famous (A warm taupe used lightly in her crease.)

Shiro Cosmetics e/s Meowth (Sparkly ivory used all over the brow bone and inner corner.)

Nyx e/s in black (Used along the lash line to define eyes but still make them look subtle.)

Mascara

lips-

Hard Candy lip gloss hand mixed with Sugarpill's Decora

Renee was one of the first people to let me do make-up on her. I used to do insane wings, masks and unblended monsters I used to call Avant Garde looks. Ha. Renee is moving to Okinawa Japan in January to be with her husband who is a Marine. I'm going to miss her so much but I know Mark, her hubby, will keep her safe and happy. Please wish her luck on her on coming journey.
