Halloween Makeup Looks 2015 + Inspiration!

Halloween 2015!

Sooooo it's just over a month that my favourite time of the year will be here. What's that you say? The answer is Halloween! 

 

I absolutely love getting ready for Halloween, planning out the costume, the makeup, special effects and the night out! In Great Britain it is a tradition to go out on Halloween night to trick or treat and just enjoy the wonderful effort people put into one night of madness! My mum especially decorates the front porch of our house with spider webs, skulls, lights and scary gadgets and also dishes out toffee apples and sweets to the kids and secretly I think she enjoys it more than the kids do! :D 

Anyway enough of my jabbing on lets get down to the spooky and somewhat girly makeup inspo I've been practising over the past few days! Now I have to include 3 looks that I have done for the past Halloween and then I will post the more recent 2015 ones! 

I got invited to a Halloween party and really didn't have a clue what to wear/do for it til the very very last minute! So I got an old police costume out smothered it in blood and created a light brown and gold smokey eye and classic red lip with the well known vampire blood bite and if you've ever seen The Vampire Diaries when the vampires go to kill their eyes go all blood shot and 'wrinkly' black around their eyes to I guess show they are man eaters!? That's where I got my inspo for this look and I did get many compliments on the night for this look! 

The second look I did last year was one of those sugar skull dolls, I loved the way it turnt out and i managed to do this all free hand which was a accomplishment to say the least!

And the last of last year's looks was a clown! I recently started working at a care home before I was on shift for the Halloween party there and they did a competition for best Halloween look. One of the service users won who had a great costume but then there was also a staff competition and I was chosen to win! Which was super cute and I did go all out as you may be able to tell. I even sprayed all my hair blue and green to get a proper crazy clown look! 

Now for my 2015 look my most recent one is this sort of Cheshire Cat/ evil Cookie Monster creation. I'm so happy with the way it came out and I couldn't help but make my hair pink too using a hair dye app on the iPhone 6! 

I was then recently asked what sort of girly looks can you do for Halloween and I came up with a mermaid inspired look using silver, blue , purple and green eye shadows to contour my face with scale like features! I loved how soft and subtle it all came out. But definately will be using some old stockings to perfect those scales next time! 

I then created a Black Swan inspired face! After recently plucking up the courage to watch the film I used the natural black swan eye look but twisting it using special effect blood, some gold glitter and winged out edges for that edgy but simple look. Now I know you won't believe this but this look only took 10 minutes to achieve so super quick and satisfying for a girl on the go! 

I was quarter way taking the look off that I forgot that in the movie the character is a ballerina and has her hair up in a bun, so I had to quickly include the last two photos of how I would style my hair if I was to go ballerina style. Of course it has to be edgy! 

Now this is one for the men, I asked my friend what he would want to be for Halloween and he said something skeleton like and this is what I come up with, pretty simple using black and white paint, only thing I struggled with is his thick beard! Which didn't make the teeth look as good as I wanted but hey! I didn't do it as neatly as I could of as this was just a rough practise, so I can nail it on the actual day! :)  

The last one I've done is a spider inspired look requested by one of my friends, it was a challenge to do but I enjoyed this one a lot, she sent me in a picture to recreate and I did but then added a little more to it

This was the photo she wanted me to recreate down below;

And that my loves is it! I will upload more photos and inspo on this post throughout my practising days! Would like to thank all the girls from FB and snapchat that have sent me more requests and also liked my work so far! 😘

Much love
