Hi Guys and Dolls! I’m so happy to finally be sharing the final video of my Sailor Moon series! This series has be such a HUGE part of my last few years on youtube. I know it lasted longer than maybe some of you think it should have, but I never wanted to so a Sailor Moon Series video just because I needed to get it done. I did each one as the inspiration came- like Frankie said I did it “My Way”. This series is special to me not just because I loved Sailor Moon so much growing up, but also because it shows my progress at a woman and as a makeup artist. This is my journey from being a girl who just loved makeup and talked about it on youtube, to now a professional makeup artist working in TV. This morning I went though all the videos to create a playlist and add the links at the bottom of the post and I ended up watching bits of all of them: This series started when I was 23, a newlywed, living in the suburbs, and kind of in limbo, waiting for my life to begin but not too sure where to go with it. Shortly after I started the series I moved to the Bay Area (East Bay, give it up!) changed careers, and everything went sideways for a while, but in life you just have to put your big-girl panties on and get though it. While filming this series I’ve lived in 3 different cities, 4 apartments, been though some amazing highs and some yucky lows, worked at Costco, Sephora, MAC, and then my best/worst boss ever-ME, had multiple hair-color, cut and style changes, and though it all I’ve just been myself, whoever that happens to be at the moment: Silly, serious, instructional, tongue-tied. I really enjoyed creating these videos for you, and I hope you enjoyed them too.
Sailor Moon is a look that stumped me. I’ve had about 10 different types of looks I’ve toyed with and nothing really worked, or at least it didn’t seem right until I decided to so a primary-color look. I was thinking of what I could do special for this last video and crazy-star-studded contacts seemed to fit the bill. I considered using glitter but with the contacts it was just too much torture for my poor peepers! I hope you love this look and have enjoyed the series as much as I have.

DERP. I meant lenses…awesome.
i love the look…and where did you get those awesome star contact lenses???
I’m so distracted by the amazing colors and smoothness of your hair lol
Holy crap those lenses are amazeballs! I totally thought you photoshopped the stars at first *that’s what I get for skimming instead of reading. lol*
This is so amazing!! I love your take on Sailor Moon!!
Yes, I’d say you successfully nailed the anime look.
I want your hair, btw…
I love it! The colors are amazing and those lenses are so cool! I can’t wait for the video
I love it! You’re amazing!
Those contacts are wicked cool!!!
Those lenses literally took my breath away!
I love the look but I was surprised you didn’t do red white and blue. however the clean lines and style I love.
your doll makes me giggle seeing as her skirt is purple.
I loved sailor moon growing up and I really enjoyed your series. if you want to continue it, maybe a Luna and Artemis look?
Wow I feel stupid. Went and saw you Already did Luna and Artemis. Duh.
I have a pair of those contacts in clear with white stars, My eyes are a super dark brown, almost black so people really trip out when I wear em. Which isn’t much since contacts really bug my eyes. Props to the people who wear em everyday lol
So pretty. You look totally cra-zay in the best of ways. Thanks for sharing your whole journey with us! You’re a bit younger than me I think, but Sailor Moon was a huge deal for me when I was younger, too.
Wow! This is amazing! I love it (: The close up picture of your eye with the contacts needs to be your icon for EVERYTHING! And also I need to get me some Inglot eyeshadows.
Cora, this is probably my favorite look you have ever done. So beautiful!
I’ve never seen lenses like those before. They’re incredible!
The eye makeup is just gorgeous. Love it.
Omg I love love those lenses!! Awesome look! I love sailor moon it’s one of my favourite mangas since I was little
