Beast is blue.

Hank "Beast" McCoy is a character from Marvel universe.
He seems to look different in every single strip, but basically he is always furry and blue.

Kelsey Grammer from X-Men: The Last Stand

Some of Beast's appearances

This was my main inspiration for this look.

So my poor husband ended up as my model, and it was time to get blue!

When I started making the look I really had no idea what I was doing, as you can see from the pictures:

But I was quite happy with the result, the sideburns really made a difference!
(I made the sideburns from furry legwarmers, just cut two pieces off them and slapped them to my husbands face using some lash glue :P)

What else did I use besides legwarmers? MUFE 12 Flashcolor palette, MUG black eyeshadow, Sugarpill Velocity, MAC Blue Charge Zoom Lash mascara (quite perfect for turning the beard blue btw!) and white pencil.

Yes, quite heavily photoshopped, including the eyes.

 Funny, if you change the pic to black&white, he kinda looks like Wolverine too ;D

Photoshoot: Panda-Diablo III

'ola!

I have tons of posts queued, gazillion pictures ready, but the text is lacking, I just haven't found any time to write any posts, and I'm really sorry for that.

You, my readers, are the reason I'm having my blog, so I feel bad that I can't post all the time. 

I have suffered from severe depression for over ten years, and sometimes it unfortunately affects my blogging. I just can't find motivation to write, especially when there has been a long break, and I have to break the blog silence with something. I don't want the post to be too boring, but something that would be worth the wait. 

I know most of these feelings and thoughts are only inside my head, but there's where they matter to me.

I just want to apologize and ask you to bear with me.

But after this non-makeup related information, the Diablo III look.

Panda from Piece of Panda blog was going to Assembly (it's a Finnish demoscene and gaming event) and she wanted something geeky for her makeup. 

After some pondering, we decided to go with Diablo III look, inspired by this pic:

Here's the design I made:

And here's the final result:

Sugarpill Bulletproof, Lime Crime Fly Dragon Fly, Sugarpill Goldilux and Eye Kandy Cosmetics Banamarama and Candy Apple glitters 

Model: Piece of Panda

Photography & Makeup: Jangsara

After I did this look, I got a request to do a look inspired by character from Diablo, called Magda (or Maghda, I'm not sure):

Here's my original design based on that picture:

The result was something a bit different:

I used mainly Manly 120 palette and Lime Crime eyeliners.

At Lush's Emotion Brilliance event I met some Finnish bloggers (thanks you girls, it was so much fun!), and one of them was supercute T from Piece of Panda blog.
We started to think ideas for makeup and photoshoot with her, and here's some pics I took of her :)

The first look was light and glowy and bright and fun:

For Panda's eyes I used Lime Crime Coral of the Story on lid, Sugarpill Flamepoint on crease and Illamasqua Breathe on browbone, with Marliss#159 lashes.
I wanted to get something special to the look, so I also used some bright and orange rhinestones.

The second look we made was darker, more rock:

She saw my old photos where I had done a Lady Gaga look for my friend J, and she also wanted to get the huge hairbow:

 I used Sugarpill Bulletproof on lid, blended it with Sugarpill 2am, and again used Illamasqua's Breathe for highlighter. To the middle of the lid I added some Eye Kandy Confetti glitter to bring a bit of sparkle.
Lashes are Sugarpill Dreamy false lashes.
For the lips I chose Lime Crime Chinchilla.

Special mention of the awesome jewellery Panda had:

The edgy earrings, necklace and ring were from Glitter, as well as the feather/skull scarf she used.

Photoshoot: Try ALL the looks!

I haven't had a model in a long time, but I was able to finally lure someone to be guinea pig for my makeup experiments :D

We did three different looks, and this was the first one:

For the eyes I used:
-Sugarpill Bulletproof (lid)
 Poison Plum (crease)
2am (blending)
Acidberry   (lower lashline)
- TBN glitters Pixie (upper lid)
 Neon Yellow (lower lashline).

The lashes are Illamasqua's most perfect lashes ever, Decadence lashes.

On the lips is MakeupGeek's lipstick Famous, and blush is Illamasqua's Morale.

Second look was much simpler, something pin-upish:

MakeupGeek eyeshadows:

Beaches and Cream

Purely Naked

Latte & Mocha

Lips:
MakeupGeek Elegant

ColorClub Red Dress lipgloss

Bluesh is Illamasqua Naked Rose

 And then the final crazy look, mainly this was inspired by the wig.. :

Eyes:

Sugarpill Mochi (lid)

Velocity (crease, outer corner)

Tako (Around the eyes)

Darling (sprinkled around eyes)

Royal Sugar  (sprinkled around eyes)

Upper lashes are # 159 from Marlliss and lower lashes are Paperself lashes called Small Peonies

Lips are Illamasqua Apocalips mixed with Illamasqua Violate lipgloss.

It was so fun to do makeup and photograph again, own face can get boring after a while :D

 A while back I was doing makeup for a photoshoot by Petra Lönnqvist. We shot promo pics for the Finnish jewelry web shop Koruharakka.

And here's some pic from that shoot:

Random collection of themed looks

So this is just a post containing pics of random "inspired by something" -looks.

I can't really remember what I used where anymore, sorry about that.

But anyway, first the oldest, I wanted to do a bit different mermaid look, something a bit inspired by the "damned sailors of the Flying Dutchman (?)2 from Pirates of the Caribbean, where the men are part of the ship. I wanted to do the look where the I'd be part of the ocean. Or something. I don't know :D Not my favorite looks anyway:

Lashes from kkcenterHK 

I read Gone with the Wind again, and I just had to make yet another Scarlett inspired look:

 This was some weird red riding hood inspired, nothing special:

Then I tried a geisha inspired look, I loved the wig-thingie I managed to make :D There actually to wigs, million bobby pins and other stuff like feathers and flowers and stuff:

Ropecon was also again, like every year, and here's my costume:

Awkward pose:

Yesyes, fat fat :P

The makeup, brown and turquoise:

Then the couple looks I've done for others:

This one is weird. My inspiration came from circus and france, and the result was just weird :D

Lashes again from kkcenterHK

Then my favorite theme again, burlesque \o/:

Lashes again from kkcenterHK

And totally failed "egyptian look". The pics are ok, but I don't like the makeup at all:

So there.
