All of my makeup these days is created by Adny... what a talented chap he is :)
It's much more artistic than my usual style, as many of the examples here will show!

These images are mostly in (very) rough chronological order,
so you can see how my style has developed over time...

This is what a make-over lady did for me, when I asked for something 'normal' for a wedding! It's not really me at all... January, 2004

And here's what I consider a couple of 'normal' styles, one which I wore to my brother-in-law's wedding, the other I wore to our tenth wedding anniversary party in Leeds. September / August, 2004

An older style which I used to do quite regularly... the spangles on the cheeks took ages to put on! circa 1999

I did my makeup for this one... very simple, since the outfit was quite fancy enough by itself! December 2002

I think I did my eyes for this one, but he got creative with the liquid eyeliner and gave me a swirly tattoo. August 2002

I went for golds and brown this time - the outfit I wore had a long brown taffetta skirt and black bodice, which I wore with a huge pair of wings! There will be a picture of this up soon! June 2003

Another one of mine... very simple. June 2003

He had much fun with a UV pen for this one - I went cyber for the night! I think the eyes are fantastic, *much* bolder than I would ever have done myself! January 2004

I like asymmetrical styles! January 2004

A fairly simple style in green & silver... I really liked this one. January 2004

Swirls... I think he got a bit carried away with this one, I think it's lovely! March 2004

A subtle design in gold and brown to go with a new dress. April 2004

I wore my red corset over a black dress to this Charnel House, and he drew a really bold black-and-gold design for me to go with it. May 2004

My favourite makeup of all time. This peacock effect took over two hours to apply, but was worth every minute! May 2004

Very subtle, but one of his this time, not mine! May 2004

A fairly simple style which he did for me for a night out in Brighton. June 2004

This stripey one took quite a while to do. Startled vampire anyone! June 2004

I wore this style to a Charnel House. July 2004

Another asymmetrical style, but which suited me quite well, I think. August 2004

I really like this one with the hint of blue to accent the green of the rest of the makeup and the outfit, which was also green. September 2004

A very strong style, with the extra pattern drawn across my collarbone. mid 2004

Ice Queen! I wore this makeup to the Carnival of Souls 2004. October 2004

This one was an experiment, just to see what sort of thing might be possible. mid 2004

Another experimental design, somewhat Phoenix-like, I think. mid 2004
