Halloween Makeup Tutorial: Sugar Skull

Good Morning Lovelies!!!

Today I am excited to share yet another makeup tutorial!

This look was inspired by the amazing artwork of Sylvia Ji!

Here's what we are after:

(click to make big!)

Ready?  Here we go!!!

Hair note:  If you are like me and have straight hair, and dont like wearing rollers to bed, try the method I did here.  Divide damp hair into 8 or so sections and twist each section then form into a bun, and secure with bobby-pins.  Sleep in them, and take them out when you are ready for curls!

Step 1:

Draw on you eye circles and basic nose shape by first using a eye liner, and then filling with a cream shadow, or cream or gel liner.  I used a NYX Jumbo cream eyeshadow pencil.

OH! I also added Lashes before I did anything!

Step 2:

Draw around your face and fill in with a white cream makeup.  OR if your like me and your cream makeup was a joke, just use white cream shadow! LOL

Then, Dab black shadow on the black parts, and either white shadow or baby powder on the white parts.

Then draw the bottom portion of your nose on using an eyeliner

Step 4 (and 5 since I forgot to take a pic of just step 4, sorry!!!)

Take a few colored liners of your choice and start doodling away!

Keep in mind that since you are drawing over white, they may come out lighter.

If this is the case, simply go over the lines with a thin, flat liner brushed tapped into shadow, by dabbing along the line you created with the liner.

In case your curious, I used a red lip liner, and black and purple eyeliners.

Realease your curls and add a few flowers and VOILA!

OPTIONAL: 

Add Wicked-cool Contacts for an even cooler look:

 

These were sent to me by the WONDERFUL folks at You Know It!

THESE are the ones I used and I highly recommend them.  The fact that they are like flowers really adds to the look!  You Know It not only has amazing pricing, but also CRAZY fast shipping, so there is still time to place your Contact order for Halloween!!!

That's it for today my dears!

See Ya Tomorrow!

Halloween Makeup Tutorial: Goth Tinkerbell/Dark Fairy

Good Morning All!

Today I have the tutorial that was most requested!

Here's what we are going for:

Let's start with the hair!

First, Brush your hair into a very high ponytail.  Then tease the snot out of it:

BIG HAIR!!!

Next, Grab all that hair smoothing it a bit with your hand, and twist it a bit.

Then form a bun, leaving the ends out.

Secure with a few bobbypins, and pull the ends around to the sides and front.

Spray with hair spray to ensure they stick out all spiky and nice!

Then just tease your bangs a touch and brush them over to the side, and spray to secure!

Done:

Now onto the makeup!

Start by priming the eye, then add a black base.  I used a NYX Jumbo cream shadow stick, btu you could also use gel or cream liner.

Step 2:

Add a Purple (or a color of your choice) over the black, and along your lower lash line.

I used a purple Hot Topic shadow.

Then Apply a black shadow to the crease.  I used Evil Shades "Devil's Bonfire"

Then Add a sparkly silver to your tear duct and lightly under your brow.

And finally define your brows!

Step 3:

Apply liner to the upper lash line as well as waterlines.

Apply your fav false lashes (I used 2 sets on top and a corner of one for the bottom lash line)

Line your lips with black liner and fill in with a black lipstick like Evil Shades "Fateful" a black with purple sparkles! And apply a dab of  the purple shadow you used to the center of your lips.

Finally, grab your favorite liquid liner and doodle around one or both of your eyes!

DONE!:

That's it for today my dears!

I'll be back tomorrow!
