Not going to lie, I’ve been feel really creatively drained this week. I just feel like I have so many things to do and I don’t know where to start. Maybe it’s also paired with the impending doom of my birthday on Sunday- never good with birthdays. Blech.
Anyway, I wanted to try something new with my makeup. I’ve been eyeing (pun intended) this dramatic drag look coined by Miss Gay Matte, a drag artist that’s popular on Instagram. I had just gotten my new blue wig in the mail, so I decided to try my luck with a Marge Simpson look. Without further ado..
I’m not crazy about this look, and I think that’s important for me to be honest about as an artist. It’s important because it means that I’m still pushing myself out of my comfort zone to find what works & what doesn’t. This look, unfortunately, doesn’t work for me. Not crazy about it. Maybe as a different character, sure. And maybe I’ll try it again soon as more of a Bratz doll (as intended).
This could be where my creative funk is coming from too. I tried something new, it didn’t work, and now I’m kind of just trying to figure out what to do with that information. It surely is a humbling experience.
Thank you guys for all the constant support. I love hearing your thoughts and words of encouragement. It really brightens my day. xx
