Look: Trigger Fish

So, I recently joined a site called MakeupGeek Im sure you've heard of it
If not, it's a website run by the talented Marlena and its dedicated to makeup.
You can post looks, review products and just talk makeup.
She runs weekly makeup contests (with prizes) which I've been entering.
This week you have to create a look based off a tropical fish of your choice.

The contest:


you must create an interesting look without using eyeshadow!!
this was acutally harder than it looks, blending eyeliner, is horrible.

Urban Decay primer potion
Annabelle eyeliner - feista
Annabelle liquid eyeliner - black

Summer


Well, I said I was going to try and update this every day, or at least when i upload things to my deviantart.

But since it's summer and my mom just bought a pool, I havent work any makeup in the last 3 days!!!

I think its a personal record for me actually

haha


But as soon as I get some new pictures or I find out some good makeup news/products, I'll post them

Well hello

Hi!
This is Ashley, obviously, and this is my first post here! woohoo!

So I figured, I want to become more known online for my makeup besides deviantart and vampirefreaks. So I figured I'd do what every other struggling makeup artist does, MAKE A BLOG!

haha


For those who don't know me. I'm 18 years old and I am a makeup artist from Ontario Canada. I haven't had any professional schooling for it yet. (I am taking Cosmetics techniques and management at Seneca in the fall though.) I am 100% self taught. I've done makeup for proms, fashion shows, photoshoots and theatrical preformances.



My favorite brands are: Micabella, MAC, Urban Decay, Annabelle and Makeup Forever. I use bascially anything I can get my hands on, From dollar store glitter to Bobbi Brown palettes.



I perfer bright eccentric makeup to subtle looks. I love doing character themes too. The more over the top, the better.



So, my first entry is this:
