I just wanted to leave a little note here on the blog for any of my blog followers who are wondering "Where is all the Christmas stuff, already?!". If you've liked The Creative Glow over on facebook you probably have already seen my posts about my computer issues, if not... I was having computer issues! He he! I was unable to edit videos because my computer was running so very horribly, therefore I decided to format it which had its own set of issues, but not it is up and running and I am just about ready to dive back into my Christmas stuff. Just a few things to sort out with my Adobe subscription and I should be going by tomorrow! Yay and phewff!!

Maybelline Brow Drama Demo and Review & Brow History

Eyebrows - not only do they help the rest of your face in conveying a wide breadth of emotions, but they are quite possibly the best accessory to your most beautiful look.

Brows have gone through many trends, from as far back as Cleopatra darkening her eyebrows with kohl, to the Ancient Greeks who wore false eyebrows and unibrows were desired, to the Byzantine woman who plucked them into thin straight lines and drew a thick line directly under the brow, and the Middle Ages when foreheads were the focus and eyebrows were often non-existent, on into the very thin brows worn by the silent film stars in the 1920s for that pensive look. These days, and since about the 1940s, women are sticking with a more natural looking brow, with the exception of a few years in between when thinner brows were “in”.

Punky Pumpkin Makeup Tutorial & Full Costume

It’s almost Halloween and I hope this tutorial can be a fun and quick option. I’ve taken the classic pumpkin and elevated to a PUNK-in (or Punky Pumpkin). In this post you’ll find the makeup tutorial for the Punky Pumpkin look as well as suggestions for the costume AND even downloadable photo  instructions and pattern to make the pumpkin lid fascinator hat that I’m wearing in the video and photos. So this is actually a full costume look! YAY!

DIY Two-in-One Halloween to Fall Wreath

A little while back I had a request to do Halloween DIYs this year rather than just costume tutorials, so here is the first of those – DIY 2-in-1 Halloween/Fall Wreath with fake barbed wire. Halloween is just around the corner, so I may only have time to get in one more DIY (and another costume), but hopefully next year I will have a few more than this year. Unfortunately I’ve had a few complications in getting videos done for my blog over the past couple of months, most of which involve too much noise from the downstairs tenants to get videos recorded. :( It is so, so frustrating, but I’m doing my best to work through it. Anyway, let’s get to the tutorial – yay!

Disgust Makeup Tutorial - "Inside Out" From Disney/Pixar

All the guessing over on facebook is now over! Here is my first costume tutorial for this Halloween season - Disgust from the Disney/Pixer animated film "Inside Out"! This one was so fun to do - it had me laughing quite a bit while creating the look, and everything worked out so well! The only thing I wish is that I could have found a better wig, but I made do pretty well with what I did find! Here's a side by side of me as myself and as Disgust - she's adorable!
