My creepy little creation 😆 been having the best time making prosthetics at the moment so get ready to see more of that type of thing 😇 this is also my entry for the #bloodandblank contest and #butterflyjasmine49 contest 😘 would have loved to have had the time to make two makeups but with school back I don't have a whole lot of time sadly ☹ oh and I made a video of this that's up on my YouTube so go check that out!

When I originally made my prosthetic inspired by @zackdunn89 I intended to create a more realistic gorey makeup but then made it brightly coloured instead so I did it the way I originally intended 😜 hope you guys enjoy

Helloooooooooooooo! This is my recreation of a tattoo by @jamieleeparker which many of you will have seen done by the extraordinary @pompberry I loved it so much I decided to give it a go for myself. But wait thats a stag not a man standing in the forest I hear you wonder. Well friend I’m glad you mentioned it because on the topic of stags there is a wonderful Australian brand called @auburnstag that is run by Uni students right here in Melbourne! If you could go check them out and have a lil browse of their awesome clothing that would be sweet 😊 Ok so today has been crazy. I went to sleep with around 12.2K followers and woke up with over 20k and it has been growing all day. Now to those of you wondering exactly how that happened I did NOT buy followers, I was shared on @instagram ! This is something that has been in the works for a little over a month now and it has been killing me not to tell anyone! Because a lot of you have asked and I know many of you must be wondering, they contacted me via DM, I didn’t contact them in anyway so you can imagine my surprise to get a lovely message asking if I would like to be featured (to which I responded HELL YEAH!) So to all those that are new here (which is more than half of you) hello! And I hope you enjoy what I create each week, I love to hear your feedback and comments 😊 If you have any questions about anything just leave them in the comments. Love you all and thanks so much, all the love I have received today has been incredible! xx And because @chichicosmeticsofficial (who I love and have been using for a long time now) were kind enough to share my work I would like to mention that I used their eye shadows to do all the shading in this 😘

Today marks a year since I began teaching my self how to look like anything but myself. A year ago today on my birthday I went to a store that sold Ben Nye paint and started that very day trying to teach myself. Today is once again my birthday and looking back at how far I've come and how much I've improved is amazing! A year ago I would never have thought I would be here. I have placed in competitions, been part of a collaboration with amazing artists, and reached 1000 followers. None of this would have happened without all you lovely people so thank you! To celebrate I have made a video and uploaded it to YouTube (this is just a sneak peek) the link to the full one is in my bio! 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
