Category Is... African Kween Realness

Continuing with the inspiration from the series Pose, 

I wanted to do an African Queen inspired look. Perhaps a

bit basic but I'll take it as a learning curve for now. 

In All Seriousness

It's been a while! A hectic year behind me, finished my second

year of fashion school with flying colours and traveled down to Western

Cape for a wedding. 

I realise I haven't posted in ages, and I apologise, so here is a shoot from September

where I practiced Special Effects MakeUp as part of our MakeUp class. As soon as I

heard we'd be doing special effects, I wanted to do the Joker, but Halloween style. 

So this shoot was my test run:

I will post some instagram shots of the final face for makeup class,

along with additional looks I created to practice with. 

Ponderings of A Gay-sha; Memoirs Of A Gay-sha Part III

My Chinese culture has been playing a huge part in my

studies as a fashion design student and so this shoot was

my visual manifestation of the impact. 

I give you Ponderings of A Gay-sha...

Memoirs Of A Gay-sha: Warrior

Been incredibly inspired by Asian fashion of a late, 

and decided to do a continuation of the first shoot, 

Memoirs Of A Gay-sha, and also apply all of the

make-up techniques I've learned a long the way.

Army

Was immensely inspired by Ellie Goulding's new single

Army, both for the lyrics and its simplistic yet oh so effective

video.

I can always do with some lifting up, and this song did the

trick. The refrain 'when I'm with you, I'm standing with 

an army', spoke to me in a million languages

and I used that as my main inspiration for the shoot.
