Makeup Look: Fire Fairy

My oldest friend aka basically my sister, Ashley, allowed me to do some dramatic makeup on her the other night. I didn't take pictures as I went, but I did get some shots of the final look. The fiery colors on her tan skin reminded me of a mythical creature, so I went with fire fairy. She has such beautiful skin!

On her eyes- MAC Chrome Yellow, Orange, and the red is from Coastal Scents 120 Palette.
Her lips are MAC Morange, and the blush is Tarte in Tipsy

I added some MAC Pigment in White Gold on top of the blush along her cheekbones, and under her brows for an extra dramatic shimmer.

Skills USA

A few months ago, I was selected by my instructor to be the competitor in an Aesthetics/makeup competition called Skills USA. At first, I was excited, but as I prepared for it I began to realize that I would probably throw up on myself in front of those people. I'm ashamed, but I decided at the last minute to trade places with my model, and be the model for her instead. I'm glad I did, because even without being the competitor it was one of the most time consuming and stressful things ever. Ellee and I both wished we hadn't even signed up! Oh well. We did end up coming in second place, and that was just fine with us :)
