My friends little sister Alex (who is 6) knows who Misty Maven is since she has seen photos of me in drag many times, & has seen me in face/wig probably two or three times when I was working with her sister on projects. She only asked once why I was wearing everything & I replied with “I dress up for fun & can be whatever I want to be as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone else” she said, “okay!” & never asked again. Either way she absolutely loves it & always asks if I have new photos whenever I see her, but what little girl (besides my sister) doesn’t love loads of makeup, glitter, & big hair?

I asked her what she was going to be for Halloween & she quickly jumped up shouting “MISSY MAVEN!” I didn’t correct her on the name but asked why she wanted to be that, & she snapped back with my own saying “I can be whatever I want as long as it doesn’t hurt anyone”. Can’t argue there! But I told her M. is pretty boring so she should be dressed up as something else as Misty, plus what random person is going to know what she’s dressed up as if she just says Misty Maven? After bugging her by asking about things she likes, candy & princesses were at the top of the list so the candy princess was now her costume. I told her sister I would help make her costume & crown, then when I opened up requests for Halloween a few of you asked for something candy related. I merged the two & came up with the look below.

Hey, it’s better than just putting some candy sprinkles on my lips & claiming to be “original & artistic” am I right?
You get a tutorial, a 6 year old girl gets a pretty *sweet* crown made out of candy so it’s win/win, no?

If you complain about something I do, it only makes me want to do it even more, and that is where this look came from. I got complaints for ‘too many’ drag videos, when they were talking about my everyday makeup tutorials. So to make them happy, we did it up super pretty pretty princess pageant style! A full list of products used and photos are after the jump!

The next tutorial for my Seven Deadly Sins series. This time around we’re doing Envy.

SUPER GREEN! (what movies that from?)

Only 1 more left!!!

What it is: Envy is the desire for others’ traits, status, abilities, or situation.
Why you do it: Because other people are so much luckier, smarter, more attractive, and better than you.

Misty Maven is back! This time with a faux entry to the contest I’m having.
All details relating to the contest are 2 posts down; or just click this link.

I pulled my inspiration from the buildings meeting with the sky in the upper left hand corner of the [inspirational] photo. The colors instantly stood out to me so I went with it.
The hair reminds me of the beach, wavy/messy from being wet and in the wind all day.
Then to top it off, I added bold colorful flowers for that little Hawaiian flair.

Since I’m sure I will get asked somewhere, this video took 60 minutes to record. All around it was about 90 minutes from start to finish.

Back from vacation, so why not come back with a mini bang?!

The short wig is a synthetic wig I cut and styled before doing this tutorial.. The long wig is human hair, again cut and styled by me before the tutorial… Both are from the many wigs I own from random wig shops. That aside, I’ll skip all the other talk and jump right into everything!
