Zombie look 2 on Youtube, Ben Nye Review, Pics of me as a green zombie pin-up

Hey all!

Hey there!

I've been having a blast filming videos for my Youtube channel. My Youtube name is TiffanyAprilM, or you can just look up Vintage Vamp Studios. If that still doesn't work, you'll have to click on links from here or Facebook. Sorry, but every time I search for myself on there I can't find me, lol. I probably need a ton more views before my stuff starts popping up in the searches.

I made myself a green zombie yesterday evening and it was awesome! I did find out the hard way that Chris is not into zombie pinup at all. He just doesn't like the "scary" look on chicks. I can see where he's coming from, but I think it looks cool! My favorite holiday is Halloween and his is Christmas, but we make it work :)

I love my red shoes!

My new Ben Nye makeup kit is turning out to be one of my favorite purchases of all time! Richly pigmented colors...seriously, the best makeup on the planet. My only complaints are they are all glittery and there isn't a black. The palette rocks though (although it should for the $60 it costs)! It's worth the money, if you are going to be spending a lot of time doing glam makeup or special effects makeup.

I will always use Mary Kay skin care, and the makeup for everyday casual, but I am a Ben Nye addict for life!

Gotta go! Time with the fam, dishes, and studio arranging all await! Maybe even some special effects makeup practice!

Zombie Test Run, 2 new Youtube videos, closet overhaul and a new zombie look!

Hey there everyone!

I stayed up till the wee hours of the morning working on photos I took of Stevie Tuesday night. I love them! I learned a lot, and I'm excited to turn myself into a zombie today.

Hey there zombie sailor! Took this photo at the Briarcliff Nature Sanctuary, a place I've been frequenting since I was in grade school! It can be really creepy, so I thought it was a great spot. We ran into some exercise walkers and dog walkers, but they seemed to think we were funny and not creepy, so it's all good! :)

I learned so much from this test run. For example, where is the blood? Lol. Bought some yesterday. Also got some more black makeup. Don't worry, by the time paid shoots start, I will be an old pro! Stevie wanted her lips to stay pale. I wanted to do some red lipstick but she wasn't having it. She also didn't want a green tint to her skin. I'm going to try the green tint today, so we'll see if we like it! But man, HER HAIR LOOKS GREAT! Patting myself on the back :) hehe

I made a vid on how to cut your own Bettie Bangs. I recommend taking the plunge. They are fun, and now that the weather is turning chilly, there is no need to worry about sweaty foreheads!

I also made a video kind of documenting the process of making Stevie a zombie. Here it is:

I was going to go thrift store shopping today, but then I thought about my closets. Both of them are full to the brim of dresses, shirts and skirts. I'm going to do a closet haul, and see if I can't find stuff for my clients there. We all know how hard and time consuming thrift store and antique shopping can be, and I want to do zombie makeup first. So I will be a closet cleaning zombie :)

Love you all, and have a great day!

Betty Bangs tutorial, Zombie trials, B-day time, Vampire Pin-up

Hey all,

Sorry I didn't blog yesterday! I feel like a heel! Seriously, I was so stressed over my punkin's birthday. We parents take that stuff seriously. All I could think about was getting him everything he wanted. That didn't happen, but I think he liked his bday gifts.

My punkin and I.

Yesterday I filmed a tutorial on how to cut your own Betty Bangs. Just need to edit it and throw it on Youtube and then I'll post the link here and on Facebook.

Follow the link to Youtube!

I also did some filming of Stevie and the process of turning her into a zombie. That will be up by the weekend!

Which brings me to...

I did the zombie look on my sister Stevie. It was awesome! But I learned that tan people need their arms whited out a little, and if their legs are as tan as Stevie's, they better wear hose!

I am going to take an airbrush class very soon, and purchase the equipment. We're talking Playboy bunny stuff! You know how they paint a tux on, or a bunny or kitty. I'm not saying that's what people will want, but I will be able to do it. For now I'm sticking with a cream makeup, but it goes on smoothly, although it does take longer. The paints and products for airbrushing are more expensive, so when I start doing it I will have to figure out how much it costs me and go from there on pricing.

Just thinking ahead, lol!

I'm so excited people want to be vampire pinups too! Tomorrow I am forming my second zombie look (there will be three) and then my third on Friday. As soon as zombie looks are over, I will work on vampire ones. God, I love my job!

For those of you who've signed up for zombie pinup, I am on the lookout for clothing. I'm going thrift shopping tomorrow. I'm hoping to get some one-size-fits all stuff. But my advice is look at your own closet and brainstorm. If you have any Sunday dresses, or old prom dresses, we can make them pinup. Throw some fishnets on and false eyelashes plus my special effects makeup and you will be a zombie pinup, lol!

By the way, if you want a gash or slit throat/wrists, I will need you to bring it. You also need to bring a pair of false eyelashes. Not too Halloweeny, just long and black, the thicker and more glamorous the better. I did some research at Party City and the gash kits are about three to four dollars. I will happily apply it, but you'll have to bring it with ya. But special effects makeup comes with the deal!

So excited to keep on working!

I'm still booking for pretty much everything, so shoot me an email if you are interested! tiffanyaprilmiller@gmail.com
