21  Rainbow Eyes Tutorial (img heavy) Updated with products! in Bath and Beauty: Completed Projects by teapotdnky on: May 07, 2010 02:10:38 PM
This tutorial has been in the making forever! I took a million pictures several times and didn't have any success with the tutes. This look is so versatile that I had more success changing the order of the colors for the pics. I wear rainbow eyes most of the time so I do the colors differently a lot. Hope you like it!!!
Products and tips on blending at the bottom of the post!  Grin



















Products used:




First thing, if you're going to play with makeup and you want a better look buy brushes. Don't use the little sponge that comes with it, toss that and use a plain ol cheapy brush from the variety pack at the drug store. That will improve your results right off the bat. I got a set at Walgreens and a set at CVS.
For this look I used 1 dome brush and gave it a couple of swipes on a kleenex before going to the next color. Not completely cleaning the brush or using another one makes the colors blend a little better. A pencil brush for the outer corner, not a fine brush, but more precise than the fluffy one. And a liner brush. I used the dome side to apply the color under my lid and the wide side of it to wing out the color.

Products:
HiP duo in Reckless (purple) and Brazen (pink/brown)
MAC shimmer moss (blue) and bright future (yellow)
NYX triple in green (the name is all rubbed off, I LOVE this green!)
Sally Girl baked shadow in purple #388127
L.A. Colors Snow White and concealer in Light
Sephora waterproof black liner
CG lash exact eyelights Black Sapphire and
Lash Blast Luxe *855

whoa--so lovely!  What type of brush do you use for blending?  I can't quite get how you can blend and yet all the colors stand out from each other so well!! I know if  I tried it, it would look like I had harsh lines...

I admit that I never even knew about primer...maybe that is why eyeshadow does not last on me...thanks for the tips and the tute...you are so edgy with make up yet not gaudy at all!!

when you lay a color next to another one use a fluffy brush and baaarely touch your lid. Lightly blur just the line between the colors. the powders will do the work if you finesse it. In this case, I wanted the colors to fade outwards so I just put my brush on the edge of the color and lightly swept it outwards a little at a time.

as for blending this many colors, since I do it most days, I don't get all fancy with the blending. I mostly just put each color right next to it, finish the whole look mascara and all, then take a clean dome brush and run it very lightly over the lids before I leave.
My colors also blend well because I'm building my makeup collection. You'll find that certain textures don't like to blend with others so the ones I picked for this look I also picked because they blend well. It's mostly trial and error. Use what you have and be fab!

Here are a coupla pics with the colors reversed

23  Super Mario Brothers Luigi and all! in Polymer Clay: Completed Projects by teapotdnky on: May 06, 2010 08:05:54 AM
Here's what I made for Megnificent in the Super Mario Brothers swap! I'm suuuper happy with everything and she loves it all too. Smiley

Luigi turned out pretty well in spite of the fact that he's made out of Sculpey III and not Premo. It was a little too soft and wilted just a bit in the oven, but I'm overall really pleased with it. It's one of my favourite copies I've ever done!







WIP






She mentioned a tin to keep things in so I covered this little tin to look like Mario's World.







I decided to do some minis and had a freakin' blast making all these mini things!





Everything but the wallet ready to go. I made a little coin box to keep the bracelet and earrings in and the tin had the necklace.


And the wallet too:

25  Star Trek Tiny Thing Shrine in Completed Projects by teapotdnky on: May 03, 2010 05:01:38 PM
I made this for PureOath in the One Tiny Star Trek Thing Swap. I've never made a shrine before and I'm super proud of it! The box is approximately 2 3/4" cubed with little feet.
The outside of the box represents the Klingons so I covered the box with polymer clay to look like galaxies, the covered the edges with a black to red filligree. The writing says:
heghli' meH Qaqjejvam- It is a good day to die 
and after the seperation it says 
ghIj quet jaqhmeyjaj- May your enemies run from you with fear 
The shadow box has a batliff that I made with clay, silver leaf and some string, it says
Qapla' batlh je- Success and honor

The inside of the shrine represents all the different aspects of Jean Luc Picard. *swoon*
The lid says:
Things are only impossible until they're not. -Jean Luc Picard
His official side is represented by a communicator pin, Klingon symbol and Captain's Log with the star date (I calculated it on the official star trek website) and  official message to #1: "Make it so",
His proper side has earl gray tea, flute, croissant and book.
Jean Luc's dark side has a Borg ring, phaser and bloody dagger. There is a bundle of matches with a paper that says "There are four lights" (that one actually hurt to make)
His fun side is represented by music, words, a glass of wine and holodeck

Whew, I think I got it all!





















My partner loves it and so do I. Cheesy

26  My New Faux Hawk Wig (img heavy) in Bath and Beauty: Completed Projects by teapotdnky on: April 25, 2010 05:56:29 PM
I made this wig for my mom after she asked if she could borrow my Natural Blonde Wig for crazy hair day at her school. As much as I love that one, it was just a joke so I didn't put any thought or much effort into it. So when she asked for something that I knew people were going to be looking closely at I wanted to make her proud. I was going to do a mohawk but she'd never wear it, so I went with a faux hawk. I may add some colour highlights before I send it to her. Hope you like it!

27  Re: Show Off Your Hair--Dyed, Cut, or Styled by Yourself! in Bath and Beauty: Completed Projects by teapotdnky on: April 25, 2010 05:47:00 PM
I cut my hair a couple of days ago and I'm super happy with it! Smiley I cut it all the same length about a week ago and hated it. I just don't like all one length so I cut the back short and left the front alone. It's off my neck and I love it! Smiley
I just use a razor comb and scissors when I cut my hair.





and this one because I felt pretty

I change my hair so often that I thought I'd put a little timeline of the last few months together. This is a little under a year:

about 9 months ago I tried to go aqua, but it just looked like "too long in the pool green". I do love green makeup though so it was a lot of fun anyway.


Here's about 2 months later when I had the money to cover it with Wildflower by Special Effects. I've had that one for about 9 years minus a couple of forays into brown or the green above.


Here are a couple of styled pics:




I gave myself a hair cut with a razor comb and let the color wash to almost white.


Then I changed colors to Pimpin' Purple and Burgundy Wine also in Special Effects.




I cut it last night and it looks basically the same, jut a tad shorter.

Excellent signature look! It is amazing, and looks very comfortable!

It totally is! The heat barely bothers me.

Can you shower or sleep in it?

Oh yeah, everything I used is waterproof and all the strands lay flat on the sides.

tute plz

Also, do you have any more pics? You are missing a few angles and I would like to see more of the awesomeness!

Sure!!!

I have gotten a job as a model and I needed a signature. Men preferr blondes so I made myself a natural blond wig. I feel gorgeous in it and get compliments wherever I go!
