My Zombies Commercialized

Don't worry guys I didn't forget about you.

I finally got a step up in my career for Elegant Embodiments. I have landed a commercial for Dougall Media in town!

Remember last month when I asked on my instagram

Well this was what I was doing:

I think its the best commercial, its hilarious!

So because the grass was so green and we were on a green screen I couldn't really put much green in there. I did to make almost holes instead which were pretty much covered up in the end, but I figured I could test it out. 

I started off with a really dark grey bade, then lightened it with blues and reds. I added the really thick and black veins so they would be seen on the screen. From my screen shot they read pretty well.

Thanks again to Andrew Paulsen ( a awesome actor("Schism"), writer and director) for hooking me up with this and now for letting me work with you more for more commercials!

And thanks to Mark Tannahill for thinking of such a great commercial!

Maleficent Inspired Geek

Sorry I know that I said I would be posting about other stuff for last weekend, but we had a kid's medical emergency that took me away from thinking about this.

I did get to do a nice photoshoot with Day Vid Z Photography to use some of the props that I have been making for the Fan Con in July at Old Fort William Historical Park.

If you are a fan of me on my instagram, then you have seen all my nerdy nails and other props that I have been making for sale.(Remember that you can contact me if you are interested in any of these items ahead of time) 

I also have a upcoming interview in a brand new Canadian magazine called "Monstermoiselle" so I wanted a new look in super high def.

I had made some Maleficent horns, so I wanted to use those. I also made some monster teeth but they didn't fit in my model's mouth(gotta re figure these out so they are more compatible for everyone). I wanted the photo to show off everything that I do. I create props, I apply prosthetics, I can do dramatic beauty makeup and I also can apply that makeup to translate for a professional photoshoot . David added some awesome green smoke effects to the photos and it looks so awesome.

Here is the finished photo:

Here are what the horns looked like while I was making them. (You can find the same tutorial I used here.)

yup Hot glue gun and toilet paper rolls. After I sewed tight pointy "socks" that fit tightly over the horns and sewed them to a headband.

To see the rest of the nails and other props(teeth, ears, tails, horns and nails) I have been making, check out my instagram and facebook!

Beetlejuice Beetlejuice Beetlejuice!

Last night Kyle and I threw our shag at the black pirates pub. For those not from Northwestern Ontario,  a shag is the same as a stag and doe party. When you get married you throw a party with prizes and games to raise more money for your wedding and also to celebrate with people who aren't invited to your wedding. We didn't really need the money but did want to see everyone and rock out with our friend's bands that we love.

My wedding stuff is pretty much all around the board, pirate themed. I have this nice dress I got from BlameBetty.com and its black and white stripped. it has an option skirt addition that is retro but also makes me think that its a dress that should be in the movie for Beetlejuice. 
I also just got these 6" pumps from Iron Fist that are black with monster teeth on the front.

also brought flats to wear  so I could set up and not die

I didn't want to do a full costume, but I did want to have a inspired makeup look. So instead of using green in my blush or contour or around the face like the costume makeup would have.

Excuse the messy eyebrows I am using a new brow growth serum and don't want to plus, wax or trim them until I can see the full results.

I did the light green blended from the inner corner out into the black that was mixed with a shimmery

dark green.

Now without a drop: because I know its already playing in your head:

Happy St Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I know I'm a day late but at least I remembered.  Well that's no true, I got all dressed up and posted on instagram.

Though I am not Irish, obviously from my name you know I'm Scottish. but no one likes the Scot's.. as Groundskeeper Willie says:

So that's why there isn't a national Scottish holiday where everyone drinks more, and fights more, and eats haggis. As we know it would be called Scotchoberfest! But I grew up pretty much only wearing plaid so I  dressed up and made Kyle a awesome Irish dinner for the day: of course Steak and Potatoes.

 boots are from :  Gypsy Dharma

skirt is Lip Service

Shirt is from last years St. Patty's Dropkick Murphies tour

Wig: ginger from Pleasure Wigs

I tired to make a little clover on my nails, which already had OPI "man with the golden gun" 18k gold flake topcoat on them.

 For the Eyes I used from my coastal sense  palette  I started mid lid with the lighter green, shaded the outer eye with the darker green and in the corner I used a mix of the gold with a more sparkely gold that I have from Annabelle.

Just to finish my rant about being Scottish and proud, I got this tattooed on my right thigh @ high tide tattoo

Scotchoberfest : let's make it happen!

Bay of Banana's Charity Fundraiser

This is also serving as my christmas party posts as I missed my work's one(which wasn't fancy and I had more important things to do... like get engagement photos done!)

https://www.facebook.com/pages/Bay-Of-Bananas-2014/

My friends were very brave to pose for this awesome calendar, all in their "banana hammocks" for the opportunity to help out prostate cancer research.

They held a gala event to launch the calendar, and me and a group of small women business owners got a table. The night was super fun, I love networking, the food was great and the entertainment was awesome!

I wanted to wear my new dress and as my instagram tease pics were these: 

candy cane and holiday sparkle gel nails

    

I hope you guys got excited for today's post!

The night of if you have me on facebook you would of seen this:

   unless you remember the pagent queen episode of "King of the Hill", are a drag queen or know lots of random fashion tricks: this is how you keep your back fat/skin out of the way for a nice smooth back for a backless dress. 

Here's the dress I wore: its from Dollskill.com and is called the "morticia dress"(how could I NOT buy this?!)

here's my look

I did my own hair, I bought a new curling wand: Verge Curl Styx (3 interchangeable barrel curling wand)

Eyes:

• MAC "genuine treasure" eye paint pot 
• GOSH "05 plummy"
• GOSH "14 fox" 
• anabelle" Solar"
• MAC "blitz and glitz" liquid pot eyeliner
• MAC black extreme mascara

The first 3 were all blended on the upper lid and brought around the outer corner to under my eye half way. Starting with a blend of the red and plum, adding the genuine treasure on top. I added more plummy to the outer edge to darken it.

I added the solar to the bottom inner corner of my eye.

Lips were a blend of Merle Norman "bistro berry" and Sinful colours "red".

I had a blast and hope to see everyone out at the next event:

The 3rd anual Ladies Gala luncheon @ the wayland !

Me and Karen(Dolls with Toys) will see you there!

Hop Hop Bunny to the Art Show

I hope everyone had a really good easter weekend: I know I did. It was my first time with the kids so their dad and me made a giant trail of candy and toys all over the house. Watching my little girl was so cute, though she was still more interested where her cat was the whole time.

So we had saturday night off, and my friends were back home too for easter with their families. It was great, we all went downtown to go do the annual art crawl called Urban Infill put on by definitely superior art gallery

here`s a video from last year to get the idea:

DefSup's Urban Infill filmed and edited by Piotr and Andrea Skowronski from Definitely Superior Art Gallery on Vimeo.

Because it was easter, which is 2 holidays in itself (the christian resurrection and a pagan fertility festival) I wore my cross shirt from hot topic and my kid`s bunny ears.

I really something different planned as a whole art fashion piece but value village had almost no white clothes(other then plain tshirts) ..not even a white slip. I wanted to go super white goth, but I liked what I ended up doing, and my makeup plan stayed the same. I paired my flowy cross shirt with half and half black and white tights from hot topic as well.

I wore my Manson white and black wig from Pleasure Wigs, ordered through Karen @ Dolls With Toys.

For my makeup I did what I like to call "the anti scotia" makeup where I did a bit of my normal makeup but all in whites.  I used my lightest foundation and a pretty bright pink blush, that I only put on really lightly. The main focus of my makeup was to show off my "Mint to be" lipstick that I got from Lime Crime.I also used Lime Crime "Lunar Sea" uniliner as eyeliner and mascara, tried out Lush's "Focus" cream eye shadow which I was super surprised by it looking just silver but having a nice mint green tinge to it as well, this was used as my eyeliner! I got to use my young blood "Azurite" eye shadow as well(another new product) which I used as my dark  low lighter in my crease. The rest of my eye is just different intensities of white blended together.

Of course I ended covering it up for a good portion of the night with my awesome glasses but when I did take it off, everyone either really liked it, or my friends who are used to my black and dark based makeup got freaked out by it.

I had another toned down easter look, that unfortunately I don't have photos of it, but it was based in light pinks on the highlighter blending into a soft yellow and green mixture on the lid. I had bright green and pink flowers in my hair.

did anyone else do anything nice or fun for easter?

Hoppy Easter!

First Time Lime Crime

It's finally here! I ordered from Lime Crime makeup finally. I have been eyeing up their photos and following their models and facebook for a while now. I also follow it's founder Doe Deere. My favorite model for lime crime is Rose Shock. 

so what I actually ordered is a poster, 3 lipsticks and a uniliner.

I was so happy when I came home from work today: which by the way was the best day at work ever. We were demonstrating facial massage to our students so I was the one who got to get a full facial, neck and decollete massage from my boss who has been a esthetician for 20+ years. Man am I ever stealing some moves from her hehe. I haven't had a facial or a spa massage since I was in school minus ones I do on myself but it's not the same.

 Anyways, I came home to my love and a little purple box with a white unicorn on it! 

I had gotten the poster tube in the mail 2 days before and was sad and confused at where all my new makeup was.

What I actually got:

Great Pink planet lipstick: I am happy that I finally have a light pink lipstick. it(and the others) go on very smoothly and don't taste weird(sometimes lipsticks taste weird to me). 

My beautiful Rocket lipstick : this and the Mint to be I think I will try again with blotting out my lips with concelar first to see how bright they can get but I am very sure that this awesome orange lipstick is going to be making it into my weekly rotation for everyday wear.

Mint to Be Lipstick: as I said above it goes on very well but I think would look better if I had blanked out my lips first. I can't wait to wear this with my white and black wig!

Lunar Sea uniliner: this will help so much with making my eyes even bigger, the photo is just me quickly playing it with.

and my snow white inspired poster which is getting framed and going either in my room or bathroom.

I am so happy with my purchase and can't wait to make another one soon!

xoxo Mamma S.
