Now I know there're quite a bit of makeup tutorials out there on youtube, but somehow MonroeMisfit really struck something in me. She's awfully talented and I think what she does is not plain makeup, it's an art!
From what I've gathered, she's Jody from Seattle, USA. The video I embedded above shows off her many makeup faces. You may click on the links in this post to go find her tutorials for any of the looks in this video.. What i simply love about her, which I suppose works to her advantage of course, is that she's got a face that can take lots of makeup! AND she's really versatile. What do I mean? I don't think everyone has features and skin that allow you to apply tons of outrageous colourful products and not look horrifying! She in fact, looks like she is born for this stuff! Yet, she does the classic Monroe pinup glamour girl look really well too. (The pinup girl look is clearly not cut out for me though, not especially since I'm Asian. ha)
I love her creativity when it comes to experimenting with styles and genres and COLOURS! I also like many of her extreme getups.. Guess it also helps that I share a secret love for the extreme dramatic lashes (feathers, diamantes.. bring them on!), and lots of shine and quirks. I'd have to admit I won't do most styles cos I'm probably 1. not suitable for them, 2.not courageous enough to try them, or 3. I simply don't have such a situation for it! But I definitely can drool over her tutorials and dream that one day I can do them successfully (and look smashing in it!) :P
In conclusion, she's everything her moniker suggests: MonroeMisfit. She manages to pull off both classic looks and her own edgy style superbly. And if you're a fan of makeup, or even if you're NOT, you gotta check her out cos she's an artist! This is her youtube profile again: LINK
Anyone else that impresses you so? What do you think of her?
