7 Deadly Sins - Wrath

The Spiel 
Next up, Wrath. This bitch is fuming, and she has set some things alight. Unfortunately she got a bit too into it and lit too many things, ending up getting stuck in the midst of her hate-fuelled blaze and is now freshly burned from the neck down, badly. She will probably be in a world of pain when the adrenalin calms down, but right now her hate fire is burning strong and she is fecking proud of herself! You don't mess with Wrath. 
Originally I was going to make this one more character than human, but I decided to keep it simple until I can afford some sclera lenses! I also think keeping it more human in the features/makeup ties in better with the other two looks I have done so far.

7 Deadly Sins - Greed

The Spiel 
Disclaimer: If any of you have any bad feelings towards neck things (like me, yay!) or cutting... Don't look at these photos. Maybe don't even read the spiel. xx
So I mentioned last post that I had done Greed first but ended up not loving it so much so I decided to re-do it! So I bring to you the new, improved Greed. The colour is Gold, and before any of you think "what?? Gold?? Why would this bitch NOT do Green???", because, my lovelies, Green will obviously be for envy and each sin has its own individual colour! So anyway, this bitch is saaaaa greedy that she freaking bleeds gold, every ounce of her gooey blood is gold. It's excessive, it's wonderful. So one night she's all "I need more, my shelves upon shelves of gold just isn't enough... I know! I'll cut myself to collect my own blood". Yeah, Greed isn't too clever.... Obviously, she bleeds to death. 
Also, as many of you may know I have a neck phobia of sorts, I swear it's beyond bonkers how much neck shit terrifies me. Anyway, I've been building up all year to do a neck prosthetic. In the last few weeks of school I had 2 small ones on the side of my neck but I wanted to prove to myself I could do one over my entire neck, so I decided to conquer my fears and apply one. Brave bitch, right here! And I only almost cried seven times - that's a personal record.

Neck: 
Entire prosthetic was made with Plastil Gel - 00 
Cut was put over a scar plate I made and mixed with Graftobian creme foundation so it was the same colour as my skin (ended up being 2 shades too light, damnit)
Blood was mixed with Sugarpill Goldilux and I just dripped it over the cut (once it has set and I have pulled it off the scar plate)
I attached it with latex and WHY OH FUCKING WHY did I do that?? Lazy moment ended up giving me awful edges. If I was to do that again I would use bondo (mix of cabosil & prosaide). 

Hope this was informative for any lovelies wondering!

7 Deadly Sins - Vanity

The Spiel:
I decided a while ago to do the 7 Deadly Sins, but thinking they had be done to death I decided to give them a twist! Each sin is partaking in something that ends in their demise, and each has its own colour scheme. The first I completed was Greed, but I wasn't extremely happy with it, then of course I got busy with end of year assessments/exams that I had to put a hold on it. Then, last week, I was just the slightest bit tipsy and couldn't sleep so I decided to do some character makeup. I started with nothing in mind and then I decided, I was doing the perfect makeup for Vanity! The concept behind this lovely lady is that she's giving herself at-home Botox remedy and has instead accidentally injected herself with poison. Death would shortly ensue, but hey, she dies done up to the nines like any socialite suffering from an extreme case of Vanity would wish! Yeah.. My brain goes to some strange places at 1AM. 
(Side note: sorry about the background on this, it was 1AM and I couldn't find a place to take photos without waking my household).

Getting Started...

I guess I should do a little intro? My name is Ellen, call me anything you could relate to that - I'll respond. Elle, Belle, Smellen (love my awesome friends for that one)... I've had it all people! & as of yesterday I am officially a Makeup Artist (hooray for graduating beauty school and people no longer being tempted to sing "Beauty School Dropout" to me). 
Anyway, it's 1AM and I can't sleep, go figure, so I thought I would finally sit down in front of my computer and start the blog I've been procrastinating about starting for months. No more excuses, I've finally graduated so that means no more assignments, no more last minute face charting for a look I have due the next day, no more boring makeup that no one is really interested in but is a compulsory part of the course, all in all I think I now have enough time to ramble on an internet site at all hours of the morning! 
I'm planning and going to invest in a good webcam so I can film some tutorials for you lovelies who are interested, because I opened my webcam built in to my laptop for the first time last night and wow... It is shitsville quality if ever I've seen it! Until then I'll try to post some picture tutorials or just general details about looks I've completed. Or maybe I'll be the worst blogger in history and never add anything, but let's think positively for now! 
Anyway if any of you have randomly stumbled upon this page and are thinking "the fuck is this chick even?" feel free to stalk my Instagram, I post much of my makeup there! http://instagram.com/bellelita_mua 

Until next time xx
