Well I've pretty much given up on contests at the moment. I dont see the fucking point anymore. I entered a contest recently for Bitchslap Cosmetics True Blood contest. Obviously this means a vampire look or something pertaining to the True Blood Tv series. So i put on my freaky violet contacts, did too seperate looks (one sexy smokey eye, one dead rocker chick) i let fake blood drip down my chin and my cheeks (in effect crying tears of blood). I struggled with cheesy fangs. And as I watched all the other entries, i felt that i had made more effort then others. guess what happened? someone else won, why? because her makeup looked more vampirey... (fucking load of crap)
I checked out her video too, she made her eyebrows straight, added shadows under her eyes, some swirly patterns on her forehead and paled her skin tone. Well sorry I am naturally caramel and cannot be whitey Mc Frighty! I cant believe they picked her? I supported BSC even after all the bullshit about the pigments being dangerous just because they sunk to the bottom of water. I even defended them and i still will. I am just disappointing and disenchanted with it all.
I dont give a damn about winning prizes, i just want to be recognised as having a talent, to be good enough to win a MU contest. that would make me happy. Maybe I'll just do tutorials for a while, I'm getting a new camera soon so it will wait until then.
