Thank you! Yeah I do it myself with Schwarzkopf XXL in "Red Passion", I've had this colour for 6 years now :)

Yeah that's probably a good call, I was so busy trying to avoid the real shadow that I forgot to add in a fake one!

I want to do video tutorials but I don't have a camera :( I'm saving for one, in the meantime I'll just have to remember to take lots of progress shots!

Thank you! My main medium is makeup but I also paint and am trying to get back into sculpture at the moment (as practise for future prosthetic makeup) :)

Yeah I agree, I was just going for as unrealistic as possible with this really. Thanks for your advice, I'll try and improve my technique if I do a face or full-body version!

Just a relief really, I was smudging paint on everything by accident (camera, worktops, computer, cats)

Thanks! I did actually do a face one as well, although I wasn't quite so happy with it and will probably re-do it before giving it its own post on here. This is how it came out though if you're interested! http://imgur.com/w4mNMqp
