Halloween Countdown Look #9 Game of Thrones White Walker

I hope you have some obsidian or a torch laying around for this look...

I added a few step by step progress photos so you can see it's me from beginning to end.  I almost didnt recognize myself when it was all said and done! I started off with a white base, TAG Body Art ,  and then went in with a grayish brown eyeshadow to add shading. In this case I used MAC Print, and Saucebox Killer.

I really went heavy around the eyes so I look like a panda who decided to contour that day. Then I went in and started adding all the wrinkles heading towards my mouth using shades of gray and darkening them with black. Softly going over them with a dry brush and black eyeshadow.  I recommend pulling up pictures of the white walkers as a reference.

 Then here I took my daughter to Junior High embarrassing the hell out of her as she ducked low into her passenger car seat having me pull in far away from the other vehicles as possible hahahaha

 Here is my photo taken with my iphone on selfie mode in my awesome toilet room that acts like a soft box for photography bouncing light off every wall. I photoshopped just my eyes in this photo so you can see the full shading.

 Because the white walkers are actually CG and in the North where everything seems to be tinted blue I lowered the temp in lightroom to give it a little blue effect.

And here is my end result, enjoy!!

Melanie's Wedding by Tessa Thewes Photography

Wedding season is upon us, and so far these are my favorite photos taken by Tessa Thewes Photography. I love when photographers take up close photos of the bride and really capture their beauty on such a special day. It also works out well for me to showcase my work.  I did the hair and make up for this lovely bride. Though I cannot take credit for the creativity in the hairstyle. Lately with the Pinterest phenomenon brides are collecting many ideas for their wedding hairstyles from almost one source. Stephankie Brinkerhoff. This is the fourth bride I've had bring copies of her photos they found on Pinterest. That says something about Stephanie, and I want to be on that same path that she is on!! I look up to her for hair inspiration along with Patrick Cameron. So here is my rendition of Stephanie's Belle Hairstyle. The best compliment was that Tessa, the photographer came in and said that she had recognized this hairstyle from Pinterest. Nailed it!
