Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight Tonight Inspiration

My music video for this week is probably my favorite music video of all time. I've been in love with it since I was a little kid, watching it while my sisters were in love with MTV (Back when it was good!)

This video pretty much fits everything I love into 4 1/2 minutes of music bliss. It's got early 1900's style, glitter, stars, a beautiful song and is inspired itself by one of my favorite silent films.

I fell in love with A Trip to the Moon when they had us watch it in Film History during my community college days. I learned to love silent films in general because of that class, but A Trip to the Moon was always special. It was so creative and inventive for its time and for only being a little over 10 minutes long, it made an obvious influence on the films to come after it.

Tonight Tonight makes me smile every time I watch it, and it wouldn't exist without A Trip to the Moon.

Until next time!

Girl With The Dragon Tattoo Inspired Tutorial

I decided to go out of my comfort zone a bit and get a little dark with a look inspired by the makeup in The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (David Fincher ver.). Definitely not a look I'd go with normally but I really loved the makeup in that movie and I'm honestly digging the bleached brows especially!

Of course I didn't bleach my own out, but I find hers in the movie really beautiful in a weird way. Anyways, I kept the makeup pretty simple. Just a red/black smokey eye, sculpted cheeks and a nude lip. Again, this look is just inspired by the makeup in the movie. I didn't take it from any perticular makeup Rooney Mara was wearing, which surprisingly was very little at all throughout the entire movie!

Enjoy!

Looking SCARY!!!!

Florence + The Machine - Music Video/Style Inspiration

So I haven't had a ton of time to update/shoot videos this month or last month with my move, but I wanted to do a quick post to celebrate the new music video for Florence + The Machine that was released this week, "Never Let Me Go".

I'm a huuuuge Florence Welch fan!! I love her music, her videos are a huge inspiration and I LOVE her style! I think she's gorgeous and I'm shamelessly trying to steal her hair style. (Sticking with red and trying my best not to cut it!!!)

I saw that the video was uploaded on Youtube last night and I was super bummed because it wasn't available for US viewings, so this morning I hunted it down and found it here: http://youtu.be/6us4sYsR34M

Her videos are all a tad bizarre, and half the time I don't know what the hell is going on, but they're all beautifully done and I get a lot of my inspiration for makeup and style from them. Can't wait to see more from her!
