How Nick Fury Got His Eyepatch

by Susana Polo | 12:14 pm, April 24th, 2013

As someone who has only recently developed the skills for an occasional application of eyeliner and shadow, the mysteries of the mascara wand seem dark and foreboding.

by Susana Polo | 10:19 am, January 7th, 2013

I mean, when she isn’t making herself up to look like various movie monsters and bad guys. According to the Daily Mail, Emma Pickles suffered from crippling social anxiety for most of her adolescence, which was when she first started using makeup to hide what she thought of as her facial flaws. But in the process of dealing with her anxiety, she found that her real passion in cosmetics was in theatrical makeup. Her boyfriend convinced her to upload a tutorial to her YouTube channel, and 1.5 million views later, she’s considering a career in it.

Just In Time for Halloween: Creepy Button-Eyed Coraline Makeup Video

by Susana Polo | 1:11 pm, October 15th, 2012

I’m not sure how much utility this video has as a makup tutorial, since I don’t speak Italian, but it certainly was cool to watch. Also I hope that’s not just regular old craft glue at the end. It is definitely a step up from the needle and treat the Other Mother usually uses, though.
