Hello all my wonderful readers! How are all of you? I am still having camera troubles, but I am not giving up on posting the looks that I promised. I actually have a third look for you all, my criminal costume makeup look. They are all fairly easy, so I will make this 3 posts in one blog post, to make up for lost time. Technically, this is like 3 separate blog posts, just on one space. Stay on this page to see all the written instructions! Well, onto today's post!
Look #1: The Vampire Look
Vampire legends have been around for centuries. No matter how old the legend is, it seems to bring chills and excitement to anybody that hears them, though they may not believe in the idea of blood-sucking hooligans. I chose this look, as this was my original costume for Halloween, until I changed my idea another five million times. Oh well, at least this look will be put to good use. Let’s begin.
Step One: Find a sunscreen that makes you look really pale when applied, and put several layers on your face and any exposed skin. Tap a pale face powder over this to set the cream, and enhance the paleness.
Step Two: Skip prepping your eyes with any type of coverup, which includes foundation, concealer, and even powders. If you want to use coverup, nothing’s stopping you.
Step Three: Find the blackest eyeshadow you own with metallic flecks in it, to add a bit of dimension. Sweep this up all over your eyelids, all the way over your crease. Use a soft blending blush to blend, and drag a bit down into your lower lashline from the blending brush.
Step Four: Using a rich dark plum eyeshadow with gold flecks, lightly dust a small amount of the shadow into the center of the lids, and gently diffuse the colour outwards. Do not go past the outer or inner part of the eyelid. Layer a light dusting of this shadow onto the lower lashline where the black shadow was placed. Gently blend it past the black. This will give you that sleepless look that is often associated with vampires.
Step Five: Find a jet black pencil liner meant for sensitive skin, and line the whole rim of your waterline.
Step Six: This step is optional, but you can use a deep shade of blush to contour the features of your face. If done the right way, you can look as if you are a true vampire.
Step Seven: If you have false lashes, now it the time to put them on. Seamlessly blend them into your natural lashes by curling your lashes, and then place the false lashes on. Finish this off with the blackest mascara you own.
There, look number one if finished! Scroll down to see the other looks.
Look #2: The 60-Second Cowgirl
This look deserves the above title, as takes only that long to achieve this look. Read below for instructions.
Step One: Prep the eyes with a natural looking concealer. Blend it gently, by using your ring finger.
Step Two: We want to achieve a nice girly eyeshadow look, so grab a slightly sheer peach colour and put it all over your lids, and blend it a little bit over your crease.
Step Three: Using a light lavender eyeshadow, apply along the outer lid, following the natural contours of your eye socket. Gently blend it out, and apply another layer if you wish. Drag a bit of the colour down to your lower lashline, and blend it towards the center of your lashline.
Step Four: Finish by applying the darkest mascara you have on both the upper and lower lashes. If you like, quickly apply a thin layer of blush on the apples of your cheeks.
There you go, you are now ready to assemble the rest of your cowgirl costume, and enjoy Halloween!
Look #3: Criminal Fashion Makeup Look
This look is sure to make you look like the stereotypical female criminal, but with a chic edge. Just as a note, I do not support this choice of lifestyle, or the choices individuals make to end up as criminals, this look is for fun, so please do not take it seriously. I only want you guys to have fun and be creative. Do not worry if your makeup is smudged too much, as you can always touch it up with a bit of face moisturizer to soften it up. Let’s start!
Step One: You will want to skip the concealer, as this look is supposed to suggest a lack of sleep, and exude a sense of roughness.
Step Two: Find a shimmery light-brown eyeshadow, and sweep it all over your lids a little bit over your crease. Extend the shadow around the outer lid, and blend into a “cat eye” shape, by rounding out the outer edges.
Step Three: Using a brownish-gold eyeshadow, sweep it into the outer part of your crease, and smoke out the shadow. Heavily apply it onto your lower lash line.
Step Four: Find a black pencil eyeliner, and draw on the back of your hand a few times to warm the product. This will make it easier to apply. Carefully draw yourself a cat-eye, making the line gradually thicker as your work your way from the inner part of your lashline to the outer. Flick out the end of the pencil to complete the cat-eye. Finish with mascara and you are now done.
There you have it! Three easy looks you can use for Halloween and maybe everyday wear if you tone it down. My next post might not be for a while, as November is always busy for me, so keep checking in for the next post. Thank you for reading!
Happy Halloween
