The girl who cried Wolf

July 23, 2012

Today, we will not be taking a look at the past videos that I made. I filmed a brand new video today. continuing on with my "animal" inspired makeup looks. but the first and only installment of that series was filmed almost exactly a year ago. 

I took the same girl who was my canvas, the lovely Kendall Reasons, and turned her into a wolf. A grey and white wolf to be exact. I think a wolf's face is so striking. I wanted to keep the look as simple as possible without making it look "cartoony". I was painting a wolf on a bunch of kids for theatre camp back at my high school last week. I loved what I came up with and wanted to recreate it but something that did not look like face paint. I wanted it a little more realistic. 

I used theatre grade makeup. I did a lot of contouring of the face and A LOT of blending of the colors to fade well together. I elongated the eye shape and painted her top lip white and the bottom lip black making the top lip stick out more, which gave the illusion of a snout. 

Here is the completed Wolf face

Now after I was finished with the makeup, I had an idea to get a little more creative.

What do wolves do? They are hunters. They catch prey. So I decided to make this pretty little wolf into a hungry little wolf. >:) I put a little black and red on the side of her mouth and all over her fingers to make it look like she had just enjoyed dinner. nom nom nom.

Here is she-wolf enjoying dinner.

Kendall was such a great sport for letting me get her all bloody!

Of course the "blood" on her hand isnt my greatest work because I was in a rush. But I think the overall look came out great! this look doesnt take up the entire face and isn't all that time consuming! 

It was fun to work with Kendall again. Hope it happens again soon!

Here is my take on the animal wolf
Enjoy! :)

Baby I was Born This Way

March 8, 2011

"Just <3 yourself and you're set"

A day after my first video I was on a roll. I suppose the rush of finally starting a new channel got to me and I just wanted to make more and more videos! Though that is still what I want to do now, I try to keep it to one video per week. (Though even that plan is failing now.. grrr)

 If you watch my videos, you'll notice that I usually start each one with the Phrase "Hey guys, it's Logan again". This video and the first one are the only videos that I have on my makeup playlist that do not start off that way. Now, because this was only my second video, I didnt realize that I would have a "catch phrase" but I suppose I do now. In the first video I couldn't say "It's Logan again" because... it was my first video! Hence... I couldn't have said again! In this video.. I just yell... "GOOD MORNING PEOPLE OF THE WORLD!" haha I don't know what I was thinking.

I've been a fan of Lady Gaga. I mean what's not to like? she's creative, different, a costume genius. Her song Born This Way is just inspiring. Not to mention the makeup she wore in the music video was just as sweeeet. So of course I had to recreate it. There were already plenty of videos on YouTube with the tutorial on it but I didn't really care. It was a simple look and I just liked it so much that I filmed it anyway.

Here are pictures of her makeup

The eyeliner is so stunning and so simple. That's what drew me in to this look.

Of course I only did the eye makeup. (much like the previous Katy Perry video) I did not do the raised cheekbones or shoulder spikes. A year ago I didn't know too much about liquid latex or special effects, so I stuck to basic eye makeup. Obviously I'm still not well learned on special effects but I'm trying! 

Here is my version of Lady Gaga's Born This Way makeup

"I'm beautiful in my way, cause God makes no mistakes" 

 This is the tutorial

Still a little shaky and awkward. The editing in my videos won't get good till about 2012 :p
