Zombie snow white

Zombie snow white 

This is my latest makeup look.  It is for a makeup competition on instagram. I decided to do a crazy brown skeleton face with manic detail to make snow white look insane. 

I decided to add the dwarfs as little killers attacking her as her little minions.  

Dopey ripped one of the other dwarfs arm's off by accident - reference to his dopeyness.  

I actually decided to use a ripped bag for the hairbow as i thought it would create a more broken effect - she's a zombie not a princess anymore. 

For this look I used my mehron paradise aq paints the skin tone I mixed white, brown and yellow to create a deadly colour. 

To shade in my looks I use  blacks and browns from nyx & urban decay as they do some lush eye shadow colours. 

I use crown brushes for my art mostly but for the finer details I use artist paint brushes I get from arts and crafts shops.  I like my brushes as thin as possible. 

My next look will be circus themed so check that out tomorrow!  

Also if anyone ever suffers with a toothache try rubbing lemon juice on the tooth that aches it actually helps relieve some of the pain I found out and tried. 

Got my belly tied

Today's look is a illusion of my stomach tied up in a knot!  
Kika studio was who first created this look I believe.  
When I saw it I had to try it out!  Only took me 30 minutes.  
I wanted to use hers as inspiration so I can do this more often and create my own illusions. 
Every makeup is basically a illusion so let's not forget that. 

I used my trusty mehron prardise aq black paint 
A contour stick and brown mehron paradise paint for the shading and highlighting. 
I just had to something today even if it was small.  Wake up in a bad mood?  Paint seems to be the perfect fix.  You think about the art and instead of the bad world. 
I already have so many ideas flowing for more illusions. 
Peace out for now!  

Candy anatomy girl

Today's paint

This is my candy anatomy girl. 
She has jelly belly lungs 
A love heart - heart 
Jelly snake intestines 
Candy cane bones 
Fruit sweet face 
Smartie teeth 
Strawberry lace veins 
Jawbreaker belly 
Haribo cherry kidneys 
Candy corn gall bladder 
Lollipop liver 
Smartie case pancreas 

I spent 11 hours painting this girl. 
Used my mehron paradise aq paints (£10 roughly each) 
I used inspiration from a old makeup look I did 

I made a few mistakes here and used a complete different face. So I decided to re make her!  I'm happy with how both came out.  
I use crown brushes for my makeup they are worth the price - soft on the skin,  applys makeup great. 
The inspiration for the new face came from my love of lemons and limes. 
And I love the jelly lemon sweets so much! 

It i hope you all like my latest creation

Random beauty tips

Hey all.  I am obsessed with youthful skin,  looking young forever - keeping healthy. I have done so much research and tried out these tips myself, I was surprised they worked. 

-Green tea mask for beautiful hair and skin

I have tried both of these out.  To make a green tea exfoliating skin mask you need to mix ; 
-green tea 
-yohgurt 
-olive oil 
Apply to face in circular motions. Leave on for 5-10 minutes. Was off gently with warm water. 
You're skin will feel beautiful afterwards and keep you looking young from the antioxidents in the tea. 
So easy to make.  

I used the hair mask and my hair was so shiny and soft afterwards,  I damaged my hair by dying it often and nothing helped me except this.  I also had compliments on how nice my hair was and asked if I just got it cut!  Green tea is also meant to promote hair growth,  It has for me after using it for over a month. 2 and a half inches longer my hair is!  
For the hair mask you need 
-green tea bags 
-hot water 
-can add cinnamon as helps hair growth 
Just add the tea bags to hot water, leave to set for 5 minutes - apply to hair,add conditioner to stop it all from running out. Rinse out. 
You will see results.  Don't do it every time you wash you're hair or it will become too dry once a week is enough. 
Also try avoid shampooing every time you wash you're hair. 

Olive oil 

Extra virgin olive oil has so many beauty benefits.  Ditch the trans fat oils either use coconut or olive.  It is better for you're heart ,keeps you young - the woman who lived to 126 drank olive oil, used it on everything and believed it was why she lived so long and looked young.
You can just apply it to you're face. Or even use it as a makeup remover which is also great for the skin around the eyes.
Olive oil can also be used to massage the breast to keep them firmer and hold them up. 

Find a diet to change something you are unhappy with instead of surgery 

This seemed important to mention as surgery is not always the best option. Want bigger breast? Try eating more beans ,peas, water. Try push ups and arm exercises. My breast have grown from just doing these.

Want a bigger booty? Squats really do work, just do them correctly and as many leg strengthening exercises you can handle. Also ditching refined sugar as much as you can is important for this one. 

Cinnamon and oilve oil, massage into the lips and leave on for 3 minutes can help bring out and make the lips look bigger.  You can also try out lip exercises 5-10 minutes as many times as day you want. 

If you wear contact lenses how to stop them ruining you're makeup

This is if when you put them in, they make you're eye water. 

Tissue!  When you put one in,  quickly put tissue underneath to stop the tears running down the face and ruining you're makeup. 

Not many tips i know but these a few things i found out that i feel is really handy to know. 

Negative galaxy vs galaxy

This is my latest makeup look. Every time I see photos of the galaxy it inspires me.  The unique colours and things we will never see with the human eye unless we visit these places. 

Yet seeing a negative version is very unique. As you can see in the photo on the left you have the normal photograph no edit. You add a negative effect the white side turns into a real looking galaxy with a sun the earth. 

You will argue with the morals of colours while trying to do this type of makeup "This is not the right colour!" To achieve this look easier I used this as my reference 

I put a negative edit onto this chart to see what each colour is when painted in negative. The effects you can create are so unique and amazing. 

I challenge anyone reading this with makeup to try a simple animal on there arm or face with negative colours. 

I will do a snake animal pattern and post it myself to show you all how amazing the effects can be. 

For this look I used mehron paradise as paints,  they are pricey but worth it!  The colours are so vibrant they grab the eyes attention. Also they smell like coconut which is a added bonus if you like that smell!  

I used sugarpill Kim chi and purple plum eyeshadows as they have bright vibrant pigments perfect for a galaxy. 

And melt cosmetics radioactive stack for the same effect. 

If anyone wants a negative makeup tutorial comment below and I'll create one to teach people how to paint in opposites.  

Peace out for now!

About me

My name is April Gill, 20 years old.  I studied makeup art at Milton Keynes college.  Learning how to body paint,  using fx makeup,  bridal and day to day makeup.
Currently I am painting my own body every day to learn more and better myself as a artist. 

I believe art is a great escape from the real world.  You can bring anything you think of to life, make people understand how you feel,  or even feel more beautiful.  No one should need makeup to feel that way - But art is beautiful,  I believe makeup is just another form of art. 

My blog will include everything from all my makeup looks, to videos of tutorials to see and learn how to achieve the same look. Fashion and hair styles I do. Opinions I feel the are needed to say. 
Give my blog a follow to keep up with what I do, I promise I'll keep you guys as entertained as possible!
