Warrior Princess

Good morning! Or at least in L.A. it's morning and I'm heading to school in a little while. 
A couple of days ago I got another picture of this beautiful lady and I must say that Robert Mosbach did a great job on this one, lovely warrior princess!

Sugar Skull

From one job to another, I just finished my Sugar Skull!
 
 

One day off and fairytale creatures

I should not be aloud to go shopping by myself, I need someone with me who can stop me or else it ends up like today. Either I made some of the best purchues of my life, or some of the worse. Only time will tell. But I updates some of my hot tools for my kit, which I really needed! Although I'm not sure if these are as great as they seem, if they are I'm one lucky gal. And also I got my costume ready for the Halloween party, so exciting. And the most exciting thing is that it's only one and a half week left, which means it's less then two weeks until I go to Miami.
Besides shopping I actually got some things done today, like retouching photos from this weekends photoshoots. From now on I will always do the makeup in my own apartment, it is such a luxury to be able to set things up before the model arrive and you have everything you could possibly need. At least when doing airbrush cause it's such a pain to drag all that stuff with you at the subway. Well, enough talking, here are my two favorite shoots from Saturday and Sunday with Brittany and Hailey!

Friday night

My friday night is not very exciting at all. Had a rough day, feeling kind of homesick and decided to just stay in. So I'm doing laundry, watching Face Off and sketching on a makeup that I'm doing in a couple of weeks. 
 

Catwoman

I played around with some makeup today and did this look, suitable for Halloween maybe?
I am so in love with my airbrush gun and the Wolf Brothers palette with watercolors, could probably spend many hours a day playing with this stuff just for fun!
 

Tribal look

I got something new for you! 
Here's from my one of my latest photoshoots where I did a tribal inspired airbrush. Had lots of fun that day with Tobia Walka and Katie Sandström and I think it turned out good! Gotta tell you that although I'm a proud makeupartist, sometimes you just love what the photagraphers can do in photoshop. The retouch on this one is..wow! 
I'm so excited about this right now, being back in LA and surrounded by so many talanted people is truly inspiring. Can't wait to start doing makeups here now, especially really dig in to the world of body art and airbrush.
