I am going to put my hands up and admit I am the worse person
in the world for costumes; I am truly awful in the fact that I just am too lazy
to get anything together and Halloween this year was no different. In my last
minute panic I just decided to go for a makeup look instead and to my amazement
it actually worked! I paired up a “day of the dead skull” with a simple black
dress and flower head band which I had anyway and them boom! There’s a costume!
I am anything but a makeup artist so there are probably a million better ways
to do this look but I managed to do it just using makeup I already had making
it an inexpensive, easy option.
Safe to say it took a lot of black eyeliner for the spider
web detail, flower affect around the eyes and for the lips, I used a black kohl
pencil (I used Rimmel London Soft Kohl) as the base as I found it easy to use
then put black liquid eye liner on top to define it (I used a mix of a MUA
eyeliner and my EyeKo London Pencil). For the eyes themselves and my nose I
used a chunky eye shadow pencil (Collection 2000 Work the Colour) as it was so
easy and quick to use to fill it all in and I did put a little mascara on
(Rimmel Scandaleyes) but with the black background it’s not necessary really. I
didn’t have any coloured face paint on me so for the base of my face I just
went for the lightest foundation I had (L’Oreal Code Lumiere BB Cream) and I
found it worked just fine; for the colour around the eyes I used a bright pink
lipstick I had (Maxfactor in English Rose) but if you have coloured eyeliner
that would work well as well. For my hair I just backcombed the living
daylights out of it (sorry hair) and put way too much hair spray on it just to
get the dead zombie look.
What did you dress up as for Halloween? Please link me too
