It's Halloween!

Yay my favourite time of year is upon us!

But unfortunately halloween isn't much of a thing in NZ :( so this look that I have done here isn't actually going to be leaving the house which is sad, but I am keeping it on just incase we get any trick or treaters :)

I thought I'd post some pics of the look and what I used to create it!!!!

This is the whole look by itself, It's kinda mental patient/dead person inspired by Shaanxo on youtube!

 okay so this first shot is everything that I used in one picture (obviously) not that much to get where I got!

So the first thing I used was a kind of off white concealor all over my face with a stippling brush, just to make myself look a bit more dead and pale than I already did haha










Then I went in with this eyeshadow which is an Art Deco one in the shade 311, and I lined this under my eyes with a small eyeshadow brush, i also used this as a contour, i used a setting brush just to make myself look gaunt and sick, and also around my nose and lips











Then with a blending brush I went in over the top with this red colour, I don't actually know the brand of this eyeshadow, We've had the palette it came in for years, I also ran this over the top of my lid a little. I also ran this over my lips before I applied the sewn look to make them look inflamed

Then with that same blending brush I ran the darker of these two colours which are the revlon Plum Amaranth palette (I'm not even sure if they sell this anymore I've had it for so long), and ran it over the top of my eyelid a bit, then I grabbed a crease brush and ran this through the crease and sort of down the nose a little

I used the Art Deco white eyeliner pencil in my waterline, don't really know why just thought it looked cool :)

Then I used the MIKI black eyeliner pencil too apply the black lines to my mouth for the sewn up look

 Then I wrapped a bandage around my head and sprayed some of this $2 blood spray all over it (which got it all over everything else, even my poor laptop). Then with the cotton pad that is in my bandage, I sprayed some of it on there and dabbed it all over my neck and face (which is very hard, the spray just absorbed onto the cotton.
Then with a lip brush I applied little dots around the black lines on my mouth to make it really look like stitching in my mouth, and when it dried it looked like dried blood which was awesome!

Then I applied some mascara just to pull it all together, this is the Maybelline New York, The Colossal Volum' Express and it specialises in smoky eyes which I obviously haven't gone for today!
