Hey Everyone!!

Hope you're all doing great at the moment

So, I have a lot of make-up that I don't use (long story short, I've stopped wearing make-up completely about a year ago, because I realized (took me quite some time) that it was a social convention that annoyed me). I have quite a lot of stuff, mostly because my mom got me a whole set of colors a few years ago, because I wasn't girly enough

So, I have all this make-up and I've thought: hey, maybe I can use it as drawing material!! So today I've made a super quick test sheet...



I don't know if I'm going to have fun with that kind of medium, but I'm curious The lipsticks seem too greasy and sticky to do something fun with the sticks, but maybe with my fingers I can blur and spread stuff… the eye-liners are more interesting, but they lose so much material for a short line that they won't last
I already have a few ideas for drawing with the eye shadows, really easy to spread with my fingers and fun to work with (I've alread drawn a bit of a beach with some of them, it looks quite interesting)

So… if one of you has already tried drawing with make-up… I'd like to hear about it: experience, advice, etc...
