With Halloween creeping up on us this Wednesday and people stocking up on pumpkins, decorations and plenty of booze, there's always that difficult decision on what scary thing to go as each year! Well this year, to help you out, I thought I'd share a couple of creepy looks that have already been tried and tested last weekend!
I love 'how to get the look' blog posts so seeing as I ventured out dressed as a fallen angel on Saturday night, I thought I would share my spooky face and tell you what I used to create the look! There's no need to splash out on unnecessary makeup sets and overpriced costumes. All you need is your makeup box, a couple of mates and a bit of creativity and here's how to do it. (I apoligise for the pictures not being the best quality):
- Start with your best moisturiser or primer to set your skin up for long last perfection.
- complete your base makeup as normal using foundation and power to set, however if you wish to go for a paler look use a base makeup that is lighter than your natural skin colour.
- Apply bronzer and blusher (however if you wish to have a ghostly skin tone leave these two out)
- Fill in your eyebrows with a dark brown or black eyebrow liner for a more dramatic look.
- Using a light blue eye shadow (you may wish to use one that contains glitter) cover your eyelid up to the halfway point between your lid and eyebrow.
- Fill in the rest of the space with a white eyeshadow and blend down towards your eyelid so that the white now fades into blue.
- Using a black eyeliner circle your eyes from your inner inner eye all the way round ready to join and cover your tear duct.
- From the outer corner of your eye flick the eyeliner into various curl shapes to the halfway point between your brow and hairline and then down to the bottom of your ear. Build up the colour until the middle of the pattern is completely black.
- Take a glitter eyeliner and draw glittery lines inbetween the ones drawn with your black eyeliner. Once you have filled every gap flick some glitter lines from the black middle outwards to join the others.
- Take a thick black pencil liner and fill in your lips, starting with your lip line (You can extend this if you want a fuller looking pout) and filling in the middle.
- Finally take a bottle of fake blood (available everywhere around this time of year) and drip it from the corner of your bottom lip halfway down your chin.
- As for your hair, I backcombed mine for a 'just out of bed look', however there's plenty of colour sprays and scary hair accessories for you to have some fun!
If you don't feel like going as a fallen angel/ evil fairy give the look below a try instead. My two friends dressed as very scary looking dolls and generously let me share their look and how to create it too.
- Start with your best moisturiser or primer to set your skin up for long last perfection.
- complete your base makeup as normal using foundation and power to set, however if you wish to go for a paler look use a base makeup that is lighter than your natural skin colour.
- Apply a generous amount of blusher on each cheek for a doll like appearance
- using white halloween paint, a white eyeliner or white eyeshadow draw a half circle of white under each eye as big or small as you like.
- Using a black eyeliner create a line around this semi circle and draw on fake eyelashes as the bottom to create the illusion of larger eyes.
- Spot on small or large freckles on each cheek
- For doll lips, use a red lipstick or pencil to draw small lips on the inside of your own to give the look of a permanent pout.
- For a scary touch add stiches or scars across your neck, cheeks or forehead
- For your costume why splash out on a dolls dress or spend hours making your own? Every girl has a little black dress in her wardrobe and a couple of bows in your draw so nows the time to make use of them!
Get creating! :D
