Bodyart contest entry “Seasons” April 12th

Finally got the chance to edit video from the contest with original track which was suppose to be on background for this, not something which was playing when defile happened.. (:
Art by me, Anda MASQ, video post production by me.
Modeled by Māra Indriksone.
Photo and video material by Māris Greidāns
Music by Dmitry Distant – “Monk”

For the bodyart I used mostly Kryolan aqua and creme colors.
Inspiration actually came form The Lord of the Rings movie from the “trees” (:

Sugar Skull/Santa Muerte inspired makeup tutorial

This is Sugar Skull/Santa Muerte inspired beauty makeup tutorial. I have seen many full-face makeup tutorials for this theme, but not so many as beauty makeups. This is a little bit too much for a beauty makeup, but it would be good for a themed party, when you want to do something more and bigger, but don’t want to do a full face makeup using Aqua colors or other type of full cover ones.

I used a light shade of foundation and powder prior to filming this video.

So, what products did I use..
Eyes: Just makeup eyeshadow in white, Just cake liner in dark brown/black, Malu Milz black eye pencil, Oriflame liquid eyeliner, Malu Milz mascara.
Contouring: Just makeup eyeshadown in brown.
Lips: Just makeup supra in white.
Decoration: red small and black big rhinestones (plastic).
I also used red eyeshadow from unknown brand and eyelashes from ebay.

video from Nevskie Berega bodyart competition

I literary edited this the whole night.. finally got to instal in my lappy some video editing software, had already forgotten how to use it since my last lappy broke down in fall.
This is how it all went down in this years February where I won 1st place for bodyart in brush/sponge category. Theme was “Illusion”. My idea about my character was transparency:cosmos/human/nature.

Fantasy Flowers tutorial

Inspired lilies.

Products I used:

eyes : Malu Milz eyeshadow base; NYX white jumbo pencil, Malu Milz black pencil; JUST makeup palette colors violet, ultra violet and pink, white; Malu Milz mascara.
face : Giordani foundation in porcelain, Malu Milz fixing powder.
Contouring : creme palette, Bronzer by Oriflame, MicaBella shimmer in Sunset.
Lips: Stage line lip pencil, Makeup Forever Mat lip color in #4, Catrice lip color in fuschia.

To create this look, start by putting on foundation and liquid contouring, fix it with transparent powder. Draw flowers with pencil, extend and retouch the lines with synthetic brush. Put on white pencil or creme/supra on places where you will put white or your brightest eyeshadows. Put on black smudged pencil your darkest eyeshadow. Then blend in pink and white eyeshadows. Make the flower more dramatic by using cake eyeliner in the darkest places, blend in well with violet eyeshadow. Put white shimmer on the white eyeshadow, to bring out the flower petals even more. Put around the flower to make it dimensional some pink eyeshadow or blush, finish it with putting pink, gold or white shimmer on your cheeks under the flower drawing. Detail flower petals with black eyeliner, white eyeliner and some crystals.
Attach false eyelashes.
Put on some more bronzer if needed right under your cheekbones, under the flower.
Put on your favourite lipstick and you’re done!

The BodyART project

So.. this has to get done! (part 2) 😀

Part 1 was winning in Nevskie Berega, which I did with the help of my model and mentors, family and friends.

This time this has to involve many more people, because I need some funding for this project to actually be done.

Here what happens.. if you are interested in sponsoring an art project video about body art as art on human body as living canvas you can visit this indiegogo (a crowdfunding website) campaign page here: http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-body-art-project/x/5370653

If you cannot sponsor, but you are totally interested in the end result, please share the link above. All help is very appreciated! (:
