Halloween looks, part deux

I couldn't help myself, there are so many creative Halloween costumes that I had to do another post!

This kitty-cat is just a lot of black liner- so easy and yet so dramatic! Pair this with an all-black outfit, black tail, kitty ears and no one will want to cross your path!

These wiggly eyes allover the face make me laugh and creep me out at the same time. I like the use of various sizes to create a pattern. Eyelash glue would keep these stuck, but I'd be careful about expressions- you don't want a wiggly eye popping off into your own eye!

Ok if you're seriously makeup challenged, how creepy/cool are these temporary zipper tattoos? No worrying about your makeup smudging or smearing. Just slap these babies on and your ready!

The Roaring '20's are so popular right now and this headpiece is AH-MAY-ZING! It could even be considered bridal it's so pretty. A dark wine/berry lip lacquer with a delicate winged out black eyeliner would keep this look fresh and modern.

This Scarecrow look is less dopey and more beauty. A peachy, shimmer-free lipstick for the lips, cheeks and nose and then a black waterproof liner for the rest should be all you need to pull this together.

So after all that, have you now decided what you'll be for Halloween?

Not your average Halloween looks

With Halloween right around the corner, I thought it would be fun to post some costume makeup looks. I am SO over the witch costume, so here are some adult, creative looks without having to be "sexy nurse". Some of the looks are advanced but I think they're mostly re-creatable. 

I love Minnie Mouse. Red lip, red nails, false lashes and some big ears really pull this look into a grown-up Minnie.

This Bambi, or deer, look has been all over Pinterest and I think it's so cute- especially if you're olive or darker skin tone because then the white spots would be more obvious. I would use a new #2 pencil (with an unused eraser) and dip the eraser into a white, matte cream to get an opaque coverage. This would create even, allover dots.


Who needs Spiderman when you can be your own super hero? Start with a matte red lipstick as the base and then apply the web lines with a black, waterproof pencil. Use blue eyeshadow on the outer edges and you have your own custom Spidey-mask! 


For anyone who's not that savvy with makeup, a pretty mask is always a good idea. This snowflake mask is absolutely gorgeous. Pair it with a glittering, bedazzled flowing white dress and add some body shimmer and you are done!

With the right gown, a masquerade mask would be beautiful with a black, winged eyeliner, red lacquered lip and gorgeous flowing hair.
