start it out than to do a collaboration with my roommate Sarah, internet famous nail-blogger extraordinaire of <a href="http://www.chalkboardnails.com" target="_blank">Chalkboard Nails</a>!</p> <p>She is modeling my evil ninja makeup look and her own ninja dagger nail design.  She’s holding a pair of badass silver nail wheels that resemble ninja stars!</p> <p><a

artmakeupmake upavant gardephotographylightingartportraitsportraiture<p><strong>Light &amp; Sugar is moving to other peoples&#8217; faces!</strong></p> <p>I&#8217;ve decided that it&#8217;ll greatly improve the quality of my work if I branch out from doing self-portraits.  My logic in using myself as a subject was simply that I&#8217;m the most readily available model I know.  There are several problems with this&#8230;</p> <p>1. photographing only myself every week can seem very narcissistic</p> <p>2. it&#8217;s easy to flake out on developing an actual idea when the only person who will notice my slacking is myself</p> <p>3. I&#8217;m not learning anything new by always working with the same face</p> <p>4. It&#8217;s difficult for me to experiment with different lighting when I&#8217;m both in front of and behind the camera</p> <p>I don&#8217;t know how many volunteers I&#8217;ll be able to round up, but the goal is to get enough people so that I will only need to use myself as a model every so often instead of every week.</p> <p>I&#8217;m hoping that by asking my friends to be models I will be newly inspired to keep up with this project, and that I will learn a thing or two about makeup application along the way.  If you&#8217;re in AZ and you would be interested in modeling, please contact me!  (use the ask button on my page)</p>http://lightandsugar.com/post/21425438423http://lightandsugar.com/post/21425438423Thu, 19 Apr 2012 22:58:00 -0700Phoenix Arizona call for modelsmakeupLight &amp; SugarDaynasaur<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2ayauoV4X1r4d5dco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>tangerine dream</p>http://lightandsugar.com/post/20893421508http://lightandsugar.com/post/20893421508Tue, 10 Apr 2012 23:35:17 -0700daynasaurlight and sugarmakeupmake upmake-uporangetangerinepinkhair<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1xm1ct4gT1r4d5dco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://daynasaur.com/2012/04/03/glamasaur/" target="_blank">Glamasaur</a></p>http://lightandsugar.com/post/20442953885http://lightandsugar.com/post/20442953885Tue, 03 Apr 2012 18:41:00 -0700daynasaurlight and sugarglammakeupmake upmake-uppurple dresspink and black hair<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m1knzxJAVQ1r4d5dco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>fire in the disco</p>http://lightandsugar.com/post/20041674319http://lightandsugar.com/post/20041674319Tue, 27 Mar 2012 18:55:08 -0700light and sugardaynasaurmakeupmake upmake-uppink black yellowdisco ball earringspink and black hair<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0uneiYhg61r4d5dco1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0uneiYhg61r4d5dco2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/>http://lightandsugar.com/post/19264207392http://lightandsugar.com/post/19264207392Tue, 13 Mar 2012 17:44:42 -0700light and sugardaynasaurmake upmakeupavant gardegreenst patricks daybeautyeyeshadow<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m0fxgmeY1S1r4d5dco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dayna-d-b/6811535424/" target="_blank">oriental poppy</a></p>http://lightandsugar.com/post/18824028129http://lightandsugar.com/post/18824028129Mon, 05 Mar 2012 18:57:57 -0700daynasaurlight and sugarmake upavant gardeoriental poppyflowersbrighteyeshadow<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzeuutGyQA1r4d5dco1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzeuutGyQA1r4d5dco2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>I take Valentine’s Day very seriously… ;-)</p>http://lightandsugar.com/post/17633851421http://lightandsugar.com/post/17633851421Tue, 14 Feb 2012 18:30:00 -0700daynasaurlight and sugarmakeupmake upred pink whiteValentine's Daycuteflowers<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz2btb77ji1r4d5dco1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lz2btb77ji1r4d5dco2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dayna-d-b/6839935263/" target="_blank">1</a>  </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/dayna-d-b/6839935413/" target="_blank">2</a></p>http://lightandsugar.com/post/17255960615http://lightandsugar.com/post/17255960615Wed, 08 Feb 2012 00:07:58 -0700daynasaurlight and sugarmakeupmake upcolorfultarina tarantino necklace<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyoulafC381r4d5dco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><a href="http://daynasaur.com/2012/01/31/greyscale-geometry/" target="_blank">Greyscale Geometry</a></p>http://lightandsugar.com/post/16845511180http://lightandsugar.com/post/16845511180Tue, 31 Jan 2012 17:27:09 -0700greyscalegeometrydaynasaurlight and sugarmakeupmake upsweateravant garde<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyc76b0PTO1r4d5dco1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Today has been a difficult day, and I didn’t think I’d have the patience to do a post.  My roommate suggested that I just smear rainbow colors on my face… and I took her advice :)</p> <p>Yes, yes, I realize it’s extra dark and contrasty and that many people don’t like that aesthetic.  Well, it suits me today.</p>http://lightandsugar.com/post/16450082149http://lightandsugar.com/post/16450082149Tue, 24 Jan 2012 21:30:10 -0700light and sugardaynasauravant gardemakeupmake uprainbowsmearcolorfuldark
