Today I get to mix two of my favourite things, weathered makeup and zombies! The idea I had for this character is someone has a serious vendetta, and really, who could blame her? I wanted this character to look weathered, tired and battle worn. Also, she has the start of a serious a smoking habit. I… Read More…
Normally when I’m asked to collaborate with a film company I’m sent a trailer, a few stills and I have to figure out the rest. Today was a little different in the best kind of way. This time I was invited to London to meet Lizzie Georgiou – the makeup designer for The Mummy – were… Read More…
As if it wasn’t obvious enough that I have very morbid tastes, today I finally got around to finishing my zombie hand. She’s called Thumbelina – credit to DhinnaM for suggesting the name – and I love how she turned out! She’s been sitting on my desk, literally, withering away.

I kept putting it off because, between one thing and another, I just didn’t think I’d be particularly interested. Then I saw that they ran new challenges weekly on their website,… Read More…
I have one very big pet peeve…ok, there might be more than one – especially when it comes to makeup – but I think it’s pretty fair to say that this is my biggest. Dirty brushes. I cannot stand it when I see dirty brushes. I’m not talking ‘just used’ type dirty, I’m talking using-the-same-dirty-brushes-on… Read More…
I thought it would be a good idea to have a few ‘alternative’ bridal looks done before I more onto the heavier bridal looks, so today I’ll be going with a festival theme. Flowers, winged liner and a few nice details around the eyes, and yes, I gave into the rhinestones, I couldn’t help myself!… Read More…
Yup, you read that title right. Today I’m going to be showing you how to create a poppable blister. Because you never know when you might need to put someone off their dinner, permanently.
