Halloween Makeup Looks

Since Halloween is coming up soon I thought that I would share with you five simple Halloween makeup looks :)

1. Scarecrow

What you will need

Eyeliner
Pink/orange blush
Pink/orange and white eyeshadow
Red lipstick
Mascara
Foundation

Step 1 base - apply your base (foundation, primer) preferably a lighter shade of foundation then your usual.

Step 2 eyes - apply a orange eye shadow on you eye lid and then use the pink eyeshadow in your crease then use the white eyeshadow in your inner corner/tear duct. For eyeliner line your upper lashline and lower lashline. Use your eyeliner again (liquid works better for this part) to draw some spikes from where you previously lined your lower lashline. Add mascara to lower and upper lashline.

Step 3 nose - use either a pink or orange eyeshadow to create a shape of a triangle on the tip of your nose then using your eyeliner, draw a triangle to outline where you put your eyeshadow. Then draw little lines through where you outlined the nose to create a thread looking affect.

Step 4 cheeks - use a orange or pink blush to make circles on your cheek bones, then using your white eye shadow make little curved strokes inside the circles so it creates a shiny affect.

Step 5 lips - first draw a slightly curved line with your eyeliner up towards your temple stop halfway then draw little vertical lines through the line you just made to make another threaded look. Then get any red lipstick and apply :)

That's it for look number 1.

I suggest adding a straw hat like the picture above and wear either overalls or a flannelette shirt.

2. Vampire

Foundation, primer
Dark red / Scarlett coloured lipstick
Dark purple,light purple and black eyeshadow

Step 2 eyes - use a black eyeshadow on your lid and then use a dark purple eyeshadow in your crease and then use the light purple in your outer V make sure to blend well so there's no harsh lines. Then use a liquid liner to line your upper and lower lash line and add a wing to the top line. Using the dark purple on the lower lashline where you have put the eyeliner.

Step 3 lips - apply a dark red or purple/Scarlett lipstick.

Step 4 vampire bite - using your eyeliner draw two black dots then smudge them, apply some dark purple around the black dots. You can add some fake blood on the bite or coming from your mouth.
