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?

Playing copycat, and recreating a look that was done by Lauren (QueenofBlendingMUA). I used the general idea of her look to create my own by changing some things & using different colors to better fit myself. Check out Lauren’s original look here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G8Vwp5fbqkg . A full list of products used and a photo of the look after the jump.

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!

pictures, and product list after the jump
