Golden Cat Eye and Purple Eyebrow Tutorial


I finally got around to recording a full eyebrow tutorial and I added some makeup into it as well. I have also recorded a neutral eyebrow tutorial to post later this week.

How to take Simple Low-Key Portraits


I've always been fascinated by low-key photography because of how dramatic the high contrast between light and dark are. I've wanted to try it out myself, but I thought they were too complicated and I probably didn't have the right equipment to attempt it. After a seriously failed attempt at taking a few low-key portraits of myself, I gave up for a month. Yesterday, I decided to try it out again with a different setup and SUCCESS!  I'll give an overview of the equipment I used, the "studio" setup and camera settings.

Another Vulcan Look... I Mean Vampire!


I've been itching to do another vampire look for a couple of months. I wanted to do another fashion-ish vampire with more blood. I am wearing my Samhain Custom Contact Lenses Black Sclera lenses and my Scarecrow Professional Fit Vampire Fangs.

You may also notice that most of my eyebrows are gone! I kept about a cm of eyebrows, bleached it and shaved the rest off. It's a bit bold, but I feel that it gives me more versatility. I used to just shave the tails off and I have gradually been shaving more and more off...it's just as addicting as tweezing.

New Cheek Piercings (A.K.A. Dimple Piercings)


So I finally had my cheeks pierced after months of toying with the idea! I've been researching and sitting on it because they're notoriously hard to heal. However, I have heard of quite a few people who haven't had any issues.

Misty Maven Inspired Rainbow Eye


I posted a look a few weeks ago inspired by Misty Maven/JistyPlaven/Petrilude on Instagram and I had several requests to create a tutorial on the look. I wasn't too sure if I was going to because of how extensive the makeup was and also because I was just recreating a look that Misty Maven designed. But I thought, what the heck recently and decided to just record it anyway.

The look is much more colourful than I am used to and it also uses glitter...makes me feel like I am dressed up as "Skittles" as my friend Mohammed Hindash called it. :D

My lenses are Vassen Cloud Nine lenses in Violet from PinkyParadise.

Blown Out Gothic Purple Smoky Eye


I wore a look on Instagram a week or so ago and it was requested that I create a tutorial on the look, which I was more than happy to record because I loved the look. It is using my favourite Sugarpill eyeshadow, Poison Plum, and my third favourite MAC eyeshadow, Sketch (next to Carbon and Vex).

I'm wearing my favourite lenses again, Vassen Cloud Nine Red from PinkyParadise.com. They feel so natural on me now. Ha!
