Jaquie Long Legs has put together a tutorial for these lovely Pantone painted nails.

I’ve blogged about Katie Alves doing Disney Eye Makeup before but this is a different story, this time she’s doing Mario! And thus warrants me highlighting her talents yet again. Apparently there is a whole Mario themed photo shoot in the works…

Holy crap it’s Mario! I’m actually in the works of doing a Mario themed photo shoot with a photographer, so I’m testing out different designs. I don’t think I’ll be using this one though. It took way too long and the details are way too tiny. The model’s eyes are tiny compared to my drag queen shaped eyes!

Ok, so we’ve got the coin counter, those hill things, the piranha plant, the ? box, a Goomba, step things with coins, Bullet Bill, an odd looking Mario in the tanooki suit (with wiggling tail), a mushroom, Koopa Troopa, Yoshi, the flag pole and finally the castle! Ahhh so many tiny little things. I’m quite proud of that Yoshi. Frig, that was grossly tiny.

On a side note, I need your help guys! I’ve dropped down to 6th place in the Makeupbee/Sugarpill contest. It would mean the world to me if you voted for me! [link] A “like” is a vote!

 

I’m not sure if this is make-up or Photoshop but it looks cool either way. This image set entitles Tutti Frutti by Senju-HiMe is whimsical and exhibits a wonderful use of colour.

It’s been a while since I’ve posted any Disney stuff, this collection of Disney eye make-up by Katie Alves is stunning.

The above image is of Swedish photographer mebay and is entitled Ying Yang, it’s nothing short of creepy what a difference a little makeup can do, and the darkness the right side of her face makes what I assume is her un-made up side look really surreal. She re-tried the same concept in the blelow image entitled True Self but I don’t think it’s quite as evocative as her first attempt.

I found these pictures by Pictures-93 while surfing around on Pinterest (I think i don’t really remember I just found that I’d made a draft post and thought I’d better publish it).

Black and white pictures with colourised symbols from deck of cards on the lips.

While randomly surfing the net I cam across the Images above and wondered what the source was it turns out someone at LADY ART LOOKS has put together a tutorial on how to do Pop art and Lichtenstein make-up. Since that seems to be the number one driver of traffic to my blog I’ve decided to put the tutorial here:

I also found another two tutorials so I’ve posted them here too:

 

90% of my traffic comes from people looking up Lichtensten costumes, that’s a fact. I thought I’d pander to anyone who is looking for more Roy Lichtenstein costume images who isn’t satisfied by my other two posts

The image above is I think of a Redditor, the images below are taken from the Neatorama and reddit comment threads.

Also special mention goes to Robots in disguise’s music video for featuring themselves in Lichtenstein esque make-up (23 seconds in):

After too many years of the same tired ‘ole remakes and trashy costumes everywhere, I decided to liven things up a bit! This Roy Lichtenstein comic book Pop Art really pops to life (get it?) with this homemade ensemble.

I spent hours polka-dotting myself silly and adding bold comic lines around my features. I sewed heavily colored fabric together to make the dress and lined pleats with fabric paint. I painted heavy lines on high heels and created a foam poster board “thought bubble” that read “Later that night…”GEE, I HOPE I WIN” (a nod toward any costume contests I would enter and hot glued it to a headband that I bought at a local craft store.

I created another foam board sign that read “GASP” to complete the comic look! On my legs I drew in knee-caps and added a “cross-hatching” effect. It took a good while, but I was stoked with the end result!

This is a picture of the woman in the Roy Lichtenstein painting as an actual comic book character.

For this homemade Roy Lichtenstein comic girl costume I purchased a yellow wig and painted black lines in it. I also purchased white stockings and painted polka dots on it. The earrings I made out of cellophane balls. The dress was just a polka dot dress that I have laying around the house. I coated my face with white paint and put red polka dots. I outlined all my features with black liquid eyeliner. I continued the polka dots on my arms with red acrylic paint.

I printed out one of Roy’s paintings and attached it with black ribbon with ribbon arm bands.

And these are by Lupita From Sacremento California:

 This Homemade Comic Book Pop Art Costume was inspired by Roy Lichtenstein pop art. Every year my goal is to wear a costume that’s original. I hate spending too much money on costumes sold at the store for two reasons, (1) the material is cheap, (2) 87 other people will probably be wearing it as well. This year I decided to do be Comic Book Pop Art which involved paint, make up and markers. I used some clothes that I already had and painted my wig yellow at the ends. It took me about 2 hours to create this cartoonish look. The dot placement and black outlining were key to creating the pop art style seen in comic books. I outlined my eyebrows, eyes, lips, nose, collar bone, cleavage, chin, cheeks, ears, arms, elbows and even my feet and created a “POW” out of markers and poster board paper.

This costume is for sure one of the coolest costumes that I have created.

I’ve seen an image floating around the net a few times of a girl with Anime eye makeup, and while it’s not rocket science this tutorial will tell you exactly how to do it yourself. The girl babbles for about a minute at the start you can probably skip that.

I found some of these images on Gradient Magazine who describe it as a “Transfomers Inspired” photoshoot byAdriana Gerasimova’s AddMinimal Studio, while they managed to find the source of the images, it turns out that this isn’t transformers inspired at all. According to Add Minimal’s own site on the Behance Network the makeup and costumes are inspired by:

“… traditional folklore garments related to typical rituals in the regions of Bulgaria”

Not Transformers at all… Although I can see how you’d mistake that from the image above…

These are some of the images of UV makeup I’ve seen in a while.
