Pokemon, More Special FX + More!

Hi everyone! I have a few new looks to share with you all since last time! I am doing more special FX work and as always I am doing fun anime inspired looks! Also I have a situation that is personal to me but feel like I should share it with you so here are all the new looks first!

Special FX sunburn using household items/makeup

Kawaii Sailor Moon/Luna hybrid look

My first attempt at a special FX bite

A Mew 'transformation'!
I've always wanted to do a sunset inspired look!

Visual kei look

Rainbow eyes because I love colors!
Those are all of my new looks to date! I absolutely love doing anime/japanese inspired looks and anything colorful! I think inspiration can be pulled from anywhere and encourage all my fans/friends to keep going and finding inspiration! :)
So the personal topic has to do with my career/employment. I am not happy with my current job and I really want to find something new and fresh. I have not been updating on here or even my facebook as much because I have been going to places like Sephora and Mac and turning in resumes and advertising my skills. I am pushing hard towards my dream and I want you all to be apart of it. If you live in the Yonkers or even New York area, please send me a message to my email address (nina_raus@yahoo.com) because I am looking for models to do makeup on and include their photo in my portfolio!
I also want to again take the time out to thank all of my wonderful friends/fans for the undying support and inspiration! Without you, it wouldn't be possible right now!

Special Effects + Colorful Stuff :D

Hi! First off I want all of you to know I've purchased my New York Comic Con 2013 ticket! I got the three day ticket and I'm going to be cosplaying all three days :) I'm going to be doing Rinoa from Final Fantasy 8, Marie from Rhythm Thief and either a regular rainbow girl or a zombie rainbow girl :3 Let me know if you're attending Comic Con this year!

I've been wanting to do special effects make-up for a long time and I'm finally starting to get into it! I'm slowly purchasing the supplies I need to do this type of make-up and so far, the first look I've done, I think I'm going to get addicted to doing this stuff. For my first look I used glue (stick and liquid), basic colors in my palettes/foundation, and some lip color/gloss for the shine. Here's a photo of my first ever special effects look:


Also I'm getting this baby in the mail soon:


I'm also going to purchase these in the next 1-2 months:



I'm going to have a lot of fun doing cuts and bites and zombies :D

I recently did two new colorful looks inspired by some of my favorite things and I had a lot of fun doing them! Here are the two looks:


 The first look is inspired by Suicune and the second look is inspired by Kerli :) Both looks used Sugarpill and I always have so much fun when I use Sugarpill! I'm also getting into doing work on clients for my professional portfolio as you guys saw in my previous post. I have a new client I'm going to be working with next month and I found an old photo of a look I did on a friend for Comic Con last year :)

My friend at Comic Con last year as a lady Edward Scissorhands; makeup done by me :3


My new client is a friend on facebook I've known for a while now and I have so many great looks planned for her! She has a great personality and loves anime so I could see her rocking a colorful look or even a doll look! :D I have a lot of exciting things to come for you guys and I hope you're enjoying the nicer weather! <3

Sugar Skull, Galaxy, Videos + More!


Hello to you all! As you all know I was on a small leave because I was going through a personally rough time. More recently I've been doing much better and I'm back with doing looks! I want you all to know that I am so grateful for of your undying support and love for me and my work, especially through this rough time. Without you all, I really wouldn't be able to do it, so from the bottom of my heart, thank you <3
On to the bigger part! I've had a lot of times during the leave where I had so many thoughts about new and creative ideas. I did some nail looks recently and will continue to do more! Here are the ones I've done recently:



Obviously these are inspired by spring! I purchased new pastel colors because I'm just in love with them! The first photo is an elegant, girly floral look and the second is just a sweet peachy look :) Let me know if you have any requests for new looks!

I also got back into making videos on my Youtube channel and will be doing it a lot more! Please check out my Youtube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/user/NinaLuvv

I did two new looks literally the past 2-3 days! I also did a look on my friend because I need models for my portfolio :) I'm so excited to reveal that I might get a new job as a freelance MUA for Mac! I'm really hoping and praying I get it! So here are the two new looks I did plus the look I did on my friend/model! Shout out to Lisbeth Lopez! <3

My own version of a galaxy look :)

My first ever sugar skull! :D

Makeup and photography by me; Model is Lisbeth Lopez, a good friend of mine! <3
I had so much fun doing these looks and I know you all enjoy seeing them :) I hope you are all doing well and having a great spring season! I can't wait for summer to share more colorful looks with all of you! <3

Shugo Shugo!


Ever since I started watching the anime Shugo Chara, I became obsessed with it for good reason. The storyline is great and the anime as a whole is so cute! ^_^ This look is inspired by the main character, Amu and her guardian characters. This is very colorful and fun and without the wig and design can be perfect spring looks on their own (each eye) :3 I hope you all like this and give me feedback and requests <3

Smella Inspired Anime Art


Many of you probably know this wonderful girl! She is an anime artist, MUA and lover of bright colors and fashion :) When I first found her online and saw how anime like she was, I've wanted to draw fanart of her since. This is inspired by her very recent look of being a 'monster/demon' and I swear to you she is a living anime character. She goes by the name of Smella and if you haven't heard of her you need to look her up right now :P
Here is her facebook fan page to check out if you already haven't:

Let me know what you think of this fanart and if you'd like me to do a drawing of you! <3
