Make Up Your Mind ... Meet Leo the Lion
I did already!! I made up my mind to do a painting of a lion using my bestest makeup products. Of course, when I went to use the lipstick, I found them all hard as rocks. Hmmmmm… Oh well. At least my other colours haven’t dried out completely, and of course, powders never dry out or go hard!!!
Leo the Lion (such an original name, I know) was created for the “Mr Squiggle Challenge”: http://www.redbubble.com/groups/make-up-your-mind/challenges/4927-mothers-day-challenge-mr-squiggle in the group Make up your MInd
Karin drew a scribble and we all have to use makeup and paint a picture.
I really enjoyed doing this!! I so love drawing :D
The products I used… mineral powder foundation, sparkly blush powder, mascara, lip liner, lipgloss (my lipsticks were all dead… hard as rocks), concealer, green concealer, eyeliner, eye colour stuff (squeezy sponge applicator ones). All painted and spattered onto A3 art paper.
Here are a few piccies showing my totally professional process!!!
Now you all have to go and have a go at this fun painting style… Even you MT and Samedog… I’m sure you have Mums or Sisters or girlfriends you can borrow from!!!

I’m afraid that my makeup would be a little to bright for most art works… anyway..if I used all my makeup what would I complement my fishnet stockings with
georgiegirl replied

how can you beat so neat georgiegirl, i am in a huge mess, i got stuff from one end of the studio to the other lol, and you have a neat little pile!!!! well done, i absolutely love your lion, i’m soooo amazed at these creations…and I was showing my husband…..he loved your lion too! x
georgiegirl replied
ha ha ha… I tidied before I took the photo! Plus having a little house, if I let it all take over, then we’d have no room left for the regular kitchen things… plus everything else that room gets used for!! My office has the same identity issues, it often pretends to be the lounge room!! I’d love to have a separate studio and/or office!!
Its wonderful that you love the lion!! And your husband too… Awesome!!! Its incredible what everyone’s coming up with isn’t it? I love them.
Even my Mum, Rayjun, who’s been away from the bubbles so long that she hasn’t even used bubblemail or groups, is thinking of doing one and uploading it!! So brilliant :D
I think I’ll have to do another one, a person this time maybe!! But I’ll have to get more colours first… Shops are open today :D xx
