Halloween Makeup Tutorial: Possessed by Drew Disaster

Hello darlings!

More makeup tutorials are on the way, as is the second half of the Halloween collection. Work is eating up all my spare time right now...o.O

Today's tutorial is by Drew Disaster.

I LOVE this tutorial! A lot of the techniques used in it can be applied to Visual Kei as well, and I like that she uses lower-priced makeup and tells you where to find it, for those of us who can't afford a M.A.C. pallette. ;3


She's going to be posting a lot more videos so don't forget to subscribe to her page! She does a lot of DIY and cosplay videos as well. 

Back to prepping for Kikori con. As always...stay fabulous!

Gothic Lolita Outfit and Tutorial

Hello darlings!
Kawaii Pateen has been posting tons of awesome tutorials as of late, and with Kikori Con fast approaching I wanted to share what I found with you guys to give you ideas for your cosplays and Jfashion outfits! 

This one was uploaded yesterday, and is a kawaii Gothic Lolita tutorial by Japanese model MOCO. I LOVE this look. It's a great look if you want to go a bit cuter with your look and not quite so edgy. :3 This video is in Japanese, with English subtitles. As with all of their videos, the tutorial is super details and very easy to follow. Before the tutorial MOCO also shows us the outfit she chose and where she got the pieces. 



As always, let us know if you try this tutorial and send pics/video for us to feature!

Other non-tutorial stuff coming soon, I swear. xD 

Stay fabulous and fierce!

Tuesday Halloween Makeup Tutorial: Porcelain/Broken/Possessed Doll

So Alexa Poletti posted an AWESOME tutorial this last weekend for doll makeup, and I knew I had to post it here, because this would work SO amazingly well with lolita and visual kei outfits! She starts with a basic porcelain doll, then adds cracks, and then finishes with the possessed doll. All three are super detailed, she explains what makeup she uses and why, right down to wig and costume. :3 



As always, if you use any of these tutorials, let us know if you use them in the comments and tell us how they turn out!

News and Sunday Makeup Tutorial: Japanese Courtesan

Hello darlings!

It's Sunday, and a quiet day for most. :3 Gearing up for the workweek and continuing prep for Kikori con and...Phoenix Comicon Fan Fest!

I am super excited! I didn't think I'd get into Comicon so quickly. I was on the waitlist, and the estimate was that I'd get in sometime in 2017. So, I'm working on a ton of geeky things for the con, and I will be updating the blog as details happen! 

Today's makeup tutorial is an Oiran, or Japanese Courtesan look. I LOVE this look, it's beautiful! This video is from Kawaii Pateen, and is in Japanese, but with English subtitles. 


What did you think? 
As always, if you try this tutorial let us know! Email us at candygraffitishop@gmail.com with photos or links to videos if you post one, so that we can feature it on the blog! 

As always...stay fabulous!

Halloween Creepy Butler Makeup Tutorial!

Hello darlings!

Halloween is coming! I'm super excited!!! This is my absolute favorite holiday of the year! It is said that during this time of year the veil between the living and the deceased wanes to its thinnest point, and in some traditions offerings of food and drink are left out for visiting loved ones who have departed the physical world. 

I also enjoy any excuse to pull out a cosplay. :3

I thought this would be a great time to start posting makeup tutorials again, so today I'm posting a creepy butler makuep tutorial by Kawaii Pateen!

This video is in English, so it is easier to follow along! :3 

As always, if you try this tutorial, post in the comments how it went, and if you have pics and video send them to us(candygraffitishop@gmail.com) so we can feature it on the blog! 

(Pssst...we're still looking for models for Kikori Con too, so if you're interested read the entry here and send us an email! :3 )

As always...stay fabulous!
