Did you know this Halloween (October 31, 2020) it will be this month’s 2nd Full Blue Moon? The perfect combination for all the ghost and ghouls to come out and play. And even more fitting for a werewolf set out and prowl the night! Well what do you say? Are you ready to…

For those of you who are new to how my brain ticks… For every makeup art or costume I design, I usually have to create an entire unique backstory in lieu of it all. I feel it brings more personality and depth into the visual aspects of the makeup art itself and puts the cherry on top for my characters final touch. In fact, I usually write out my short stories before hand so that I can fully act out and personify my characters to the fullest once I am done creating the makeup look itself.

Makeup can be a powerful tool... One has the free will to express themselves, to be bold, to be confident, be unique, and stand out too extraordinary heights. But some tend to forget the true “Power of Makeup”. Take the Unblossomed Rose for example.

Without a name, without a face, without a soul... for it takes on the form and alias of all that it inhabits. This demon has stalked this earth since the moment mankind consumed itself with the bitterness of self doubt, hatred, and fear. You see this anonymous demon feeds off those of whom have given into the temptation of a hidden insecurity, a forbidden self hate, a shadow of doubt... and so the list goes on. As it slowly takes your form, this demon sinks its razor teeth into your deepest fears and consumes your soul.
