Hi Gorgeous! Argghhh! Matey!
Welcome my model Teddy who in a few short photos is going to get his Captain Jack Sparrow look on and be ready for the premeire of Pirates of the Caribbean 4: On Stranger Tides starring Johnny Depp and Penelope Cruz.
In this first photo, the face is clean and moisturized.

Next I apply ‘sunburn’ to his cheeks using Milani baked eyeshadow in “I Heart You”.
Captain Jack Sparrow photos seem to always show him with a bit of flush to his cheeks and it’s either a sunburn or the rum!

Next I use Luminess Airbrush tanning system to brown and bronze over the sunburn of the cheeks and just give the fair skin a very sun kissed tan look.
*Note* This Luminess Airbrush tanning system is so easy to use! Stay tuned for a how to video!

I begin to apply Captain Jack Sparrow’s defining facial hair. I mention it in the video-I bought at the last minute from a party shop a “Jack” facial hair kit-but it has the consistency of a rug!
To do it over, I suggest and plan to visit the real costume shop/theatre makeup place and get some spirit gum and a moustache, soul patch, and goatee.

While the glue is setting-sort of-but not very well-I begin to apply the trademark eyeshadow/eyeliner of Captain Jack Sparrow. It at first appears messy and smudgey but it is actually very precise!
1. I rim the eye with Makeup Designory Moss shadow
2. I use Ardell black matte shadow to ‘line’ over the Moss shadow which is a green gold fleck shadow. In the still photos of Johnny Depp it sometimes

brown? Sometimes purple? I just happened to have this gorgeous green on hand! Use the color you feel best in!
3. I take Sheercover Espresso Shot creme eyeliner and make the defined line around the eye.

Now! Half way there! I have one eye made up
and the other is being done in the how to video.
I add on the hair extensions. I am using my dark brown Dancing with the Stars pieces. There are two layers of Go!Go! on him. I did some braids and added a few pieces. I can’t seem to tell in the photos what that bone/defeathered looking feather is that hangs off the top of Capt. Jack’s bandana.
Now, the look is complete and Teddy is ready
for a Pirates of the Caribbean 4 movie premiere party!
On a side note-getting your pirate on is for any age, race, size, shape, or gender!
Here is my Mancub-in full Captain Jack Sparrow HMU!
No rum for the kid though!
Enjoy the how to video and I’ve also posted the funny trailer for the movie. I like that it’s not the traditional scene by scene trailer. Enjoy!

The must-have “It” accessory for 2011 is bling – but it’s not jewelry. It’s bling for your nails. Hollywood’s hottest celebrities like Katy Perry, Beyonce, Lady Gaga and Blake Lively are making nail art a style statement all its own.

It’s official! Golfland-Sunsplash water slides are open for the summer season! Woo hoo!
Now you are going to need some serious sunblock to protect yourself while you party in the waterslides!
So far, the Aveeno hydrosport sunblock spf 85 is holding up for back yard pool parties but I’m interested in seeing what it does with all the rubbing of the waterslides?
As I try to have some style/fashion while whisking down the Master Blaster at Sunsplash I plan to wear what I’ve been enjoying so far for quick, moisturizing and spf filled lipbalm-the Neutrogena Revitalizing lip balm in Fresh Plum spf 20. It’s easy to forget how fast a lip can get a sunburn!
You can learn more about it at http://www.neutrogena.com/ Enjoy your start to summer fun!
