One of the reasons I don’t normally mention the brands I use in my videos is that I’ve noticed people tend to get hung up on the names. They think they can’t recreate a makeup look or art project unless they use exactly the brands that I do, and it’s frustrating because that’s not the… Read More…
As someone pointed out in the comments today, I should probably not be allowed anywhere near sharp things. Because the first thin I think is; how can I make it look like an injury. Today I thought I would show you how to re-create this special effects injury with three different products. Depending on how… Read More…
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.

It’s been ages since I last did a giveaway, but instead of makeup, I thought I would giveaway my makeup books. I’ve been ruthlessly clearing out my life at the moment, including my makeup books which have been whittled down to the twoI think are the best out of all of them; Rae Morris’s Makeup Masterclass… Read More…
Like a lot of the DIY lashes I’ve made in the past, these are very simple to make. They require patience and a steady hand, but otherwise, they’re really simple to make. I made these out of dried tinted leaves, but with a bit of imagination, there are a million different looks you could make… Read More…
If you’ve seen Avatar: The Last Airbender – the animated series, not the film – then you might get excited and think that this series is based on it. I’m afraid it’s not, it’s just the old-fashioned air, water, fire and earth elements. It’s an other series that has been on my list for ages, and… Read More…
So, my sister has been pestering me to have a look at a fabric designing website she found for a while now called SpoonFlower. 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…
