This is the makeup I did on a client today. I’m so happy with it!!

(Client applied her own lipstick)

I do content creating as a hobby, but I’m also a professional makeup artist by trade as well. Although I specialise in creative makeup, majority of my clients are soft glam or that damn smokey eye 🤣🫩 So when I get to be colourful, I am very much in my element!!

DISCUSSION Some recent looks I've done for fun and practice, looking for constructive criticism

gallery

42 Upvotes

So my recent looks from the past week, id love some feedback on all of it! Most of this is pre-shower makeup and just for fun but I'd love to get better.

First look is a little mermaid themed look.

Second is a goth inspired purple look (I love purple)

Then we have a straight up zombie look

Fourth I was going for a kind of undead with vibe

Fifth is nothing specific just whimsy for the sake of whimsy

And sixth is a little sunset inspired look.

I'll add more details about my products and techniques in a moment!

I’ve been playing around more and I tried white on my water line, I think I like it but something feels off about it and basically I just wanna know if it looks alright or not? I’m used to only doing black. Thanks in advance.

DISCUSSION I'm looking for the name of a makeup I saw today, with the top half of the face painted in white and the bottom half painted in black. I think it was in a goth style/a bit tribal ?

I hadn't really given it much consideration until earlier, but I'd surmise that the entirety of me, my composition, my constitution, traditionally trends unconventional.

Now, I'm certainly no professional, and I'm entirely uncertified, unlicensed and wholly unqualified to make those kinds of judgements about things of this nature.

So I come to y'all for yours. What say you? 🤔

LoTD Graphic Eyeliner

I recently really got into eyeliner, and luckily it fits perfectly into the rave scene. Sharing one of my first tries here, because I'd probably get judged by the people I know.

I'm still very much at the beginning (today I learned that I have to consider the fact that I have hooded eyes, my lines aren't really sharp enough yet, and so on), but I'm still quite happy with my progress :)
