High Fashion Lashes, Masks and Headpieces
I love this module! High Fashion / Avant Garde looks are so much fun!!
I made Annie's lashes with feathers, both top and bottom lashes. It worked really well with her Audrey Hepburn inspired outfit.
I shall be making a bunch of different lashes for sale, so keep posted until I'm ready to launch them! They will be made of feathers, lace, sequins, dried flowers, wire, etc.

Full Body Fantasy Airbrush
For this exam, we were put into teams of 3. I was teamed up with Kristin and Victoria, and I must say, we make one heck of a team!
I got my friend Absalom to model for us, and we turned him into Green Lantern.
First we had to put on a base coat of green and black. The emblem on his chest was done with a stencil. With the aid of paper towels, we were able to put the lines onto his torso and legs, simulating boots. Add finishing touch of his green mask and slicking back his hair with hair glue, and Voila! A superhero is made.
The other teams went with male models as well, one team going with Deadpool, who is ironically also played by Ryan Reynolds, and the other team with an original comic book character of their own.
Thanks to the models, and thanks to my team for being a great team!

Airbrush Exams
I had two airbrush exams last week. I have come to realize I LOVE airbrushing!
Tuesday was a beauty exam, with Cora as my model. I did very colorful eyes, with pink, purple, yellow and green, with a very light cream shimmery highlight. I got my eye makeup inspiration from a picture in the Sephora magazine a few years back titled Mermaid makeup. I used a light pink blush on the hollow of her cheeks and applied a shimmery silvery highlight on the apples of her cheeks. With light pink lips and flowy curls in her hair, I topped off her look off with fake lashes that had clear-colored crystals on them.
For my fantasy airbrush exam, I turned Natasha into Artemis. She had this beautiful goddess inspired dress in a silvery mauve, so I started with a a silver base to cover her whole exposed skin, then I airbrushed teal and green highlights and shading on her face. I used purple shimmery pigment for her eyebrows, and a darker purple for her lips. I used a purple acrylic to paint on her eyeliner with the swirls and put long fake lashes that had glitter on them as well. I put swarovski crystals in the shape of a moon around the side of her face, and applied some dots to emphasize the shape of the moon using white acrylic paint and a toothpick.
For her neck, shoulder, arm and back, I used stencils to airbrush the moon and stars, with a combination of negative and positive stencil images. Then I used a paintbrush to paint the swirls and starburst patterns, then I applied a ton of swarovski crystals on her skin to emphasize the stars.
I had gone to the dollar store the day before to prepare my props. I got a bow and arrow and airbrushed it silver. I also got a bunch of feathers. So for her hair, I stuck a bunch of teal and purple feathers in and sprayed some glitter hairspray all over her head.
Next up will be the full body airbrush exam. That is gonna be awesome! I have lots of ideas already, just finalizing the details.

Hair Exams Weeks 2 & 3
For the 2nd and 3rd week of Hair Design, I had Susan, Andrea and Becca as my models.
For Susan, the 3 looks I had to do were Double Stranded Twist, Chignon, and an Updo. I'm gonna post her pics in no particular order. These are photos from the photoshoot, some full body where you can't really see the hair up close, but the photos and her outfits are soooo pretty! Later on I will post the pictures of the hair up close from all sides to have a clearer view of the hair style.
Andrea was my short haired model, for finger waves. I went 1920s on her with subtle eye make up and a dark lip.
Becca was my last hair model. Her 2 looks were Basket Weave and a Freestyle look, which I chose to do a Bow.
Next up I will post the angled pictures.
