My makeup pieces range from original ideas to inspiration from others. I am able to express myself through the creative forms of makeup. This makeup looks process lasted 5 hours. For this look I used the following techniques: shading, blacking out, contouring, highlighting, perfecting, 3-dimensional detailing and more. For shading I would need to layer face paint to create dimension and afterwards lightly brush eyeshadows on top to give a greater depth and add brighter colors. To make my eyes look "bigger" I added white to a portion of my under eye and apply individual eyelashes to give a cartoon effect. To create the stitches, I drew the stitches on a curve to add the effect of them digging into my skin as if they were real. As well as adding white to the high points of the stiches to give it a 3-dimensional look. With additional shading around the stitches and portions of skin being held together by them. I blocked out my neck with black face pain to give the effect of a smaller neck to give it another aspect of a cartoon.

To me, creativity means to express who you are and how you think through different forms of art. Creativity allows everyone to find who they are. As well as grasping an idea and knowing you can turn it into something extraordinary in a way only you would know how to.
