Take 2

Ok, going for purple and a bit more glam. Darker lip shade, and darker lighting to avoid the...unsightliness on my upper lip.

One of the biggest problems here...Adam refuses to take his apple away.

I really like the purple and I recommend purple shades for Andi and J-cat.

Whatcha think? I guess I should also say, I did this completely by myself, so...that's why.

no offense bryan, but aren't there more important things you can spend your time doing?

Nate said...

think you need to tan a little though...as a constructive critism...

Bry said...

I could be drinking and clubbing...

Bry said...

Practice makes perfect. I have three years of practice ahead of me. I really want to get this right.

Bry said...

And to thoroughly answer you question...I have no spending money, no gas in the car and absolutely no energy to do anything but sit at my dining room table and paint my face. So...I boiled some shrimp, made some ramen and painted.

I actually highly recommend it. Very therapeutic to watch yourself change. Can't really describe the feeling.

you want to be a different person, but you dont understand, you have to believe to change. Your beliefs are not wrong, they just are not understandable to the person who cannot communicate who they really are as a person. you know that you have love for everything, yet understand that the human error is to be o good AND evil, that it is up to us to understand the best way to approach every situation. You are Bryan, ruler of worlds, savior of the weak, the warrior of truth, but you cannot achieve your own grace because perfection is unattainable.

If its something you really want to do and really believe in then do it well. Just don't give up on it if it ever gets difficult or someone or somehting gets in your way...just saying...as an older brother, think I've seen this behavior and mindset from you before, and just want to be sure you aren't going down the same path as before.

and Eric, don't be jealous of the tandum bike...

and again, think with proper lighting, better tan, and a little less emphasis on the eyes, this might work...bry, you have big eyes, don't accent them too much...and lean your chin down slightly for the pictures, or take the picture from a higher angle...the proportion of your neck line as a part of the picture is a little too much for a profile.

Nate said...

Blair says you look better in this picture, but she like the other one too...she is jealous with how well you work with the make up, ha ha :-)

Practice makes perfect

Bry said...

Aww, thanks Blair. It's really hard. No wonder girls want to start doing it at such an early age. takes lots of practice. Eyelash curlers...*shudder*. Pinched myself 4 times already.

I agree that my eyes don't need much "pazzow" (can't think of a better word), but I'm going for a showy-glam image here. If it were merely crossdressing, I'd try to keep it more natural.

Or if my act was calling for a natural look, that is.

My giraffe neck can only be hidden by big collars. lol

Bry said...

Ms. Thang named Jordan just said I look like the poster child for abused housewives.

Who the hell opened his library?

Bry said...

Eric, I like what you said. it's true.

But please don't thinking I'm trying to be a different person. Merely putting on a show.

back off on the eye shawdow...just because its purple doesnt mean you need to show us the exact shade of it.
a woman once said "when you wear makeup, you have to make it look like youre not wearing any at all" (aunt becky from full house haha)

basically you want it all to blend. right now you look like that fat chick from the drew carey show with the green and blue eye shadow....not what you're going for.

if youre using the right foundation, you shouldnt have to use a ton of other stuff to cover anything up....I think I need to show you but thats weird and I'm not totally comfortable with the whole idea of it...don't think I will ever be but you will do what you want whenever you want.

Unknown said...

and you don't necessarily need to wear colored lipstick....we all have a good shade of lips so just go with a clear gloss...it looks too fake with the colored stuff...maybe clean up your brows a lil. I know nate had his done once or twice before by a previous gf, and kept up with them......but its better than them being all over the place.

p.s. I don't do that shade of purple. I'm a grey black smokey look with a hint of lavendar or gold...key word...HINT!! a mere dusting...not painted....

Unknown said...

and your blush needs to be a little more on your cheek bones going back toward your temples then being that close to your nose. you look like a clown....

sorry I would have put this all in one but I have to go back and look at the pic....
