Independence Day Weekend - Part TWO

This was a fun day :) first off, church. always good. second, i decided i wanted to get back into doing some character/costume makeup! WOO HOO

Plan A: Black Swan (and white swan). all we have right now as far as white face makeup goes is a tube of that cheap face paint from like walmart or something. so i decided i might as well try it. CRAP. never ever use that stuff. well, i mean, don't expect to paint your whole face and have it turn out beautiful and smooth. so i got a layer on - it all dried. and......crack. crack. crack. so i took it all off. scratched the whole idea until i could get some white cream. 

SO.....plan B: a leopard! i was like eh....maybe this will be kinda cool...just took a darker foundation and covered my whole face. then just got a picture for reference and went at it! it ended up being pretty darn cool. i loved it! here are some of the pictures!

Sometimes people probably wonder why do such a labor intensive makeup look when you just have to take it off after....and i say to that...because it's fun! and maybe, just maybe, others will enjoy looking at your work when you're finished. maybe they wanted to do a look similar and now they can kinda see how! or, maybe you aren't going to take it off. and you have a party to go to after. haha :) i'm going to start doing some tutorials and i am SO EXCITED!

So after getting that all off, we went to my grandmas for our annual firework show. there were a couple fireworks that were pretty cool. one was called 'little bull' i believe. it had crackly 'baby' fireworks, and then they got bigger. EVERYONE backed up about as far as they could. hahaha it was pretty funny. 

The finale firework was the coolest, but it wasn't very long. it was called snow something....at the end it shot up a pretty decent firework into the sky, scaring the neighbor's dogs. haha. i decided next year, we're getting illegals. haha (everyone was doing them this year it seemed!!)

Then we went inside and watched Hope Floats. waited for midnight. then went to walmart to get shirts for the Fourth. all-in-all, a good night. 

DAY 3 - coming up soon. LOVES - Court
