A Wicked Transformation

My friend wanted to dress up as a witch for Halloween, but I wanted to do something a bit different from the traditional witch make up. I didn't know what to do, so used the power of Google to find inspiration. 

To create this look I used the Revolution Give Them Nightmares eye-shadow palette. I really loved the palette! It has so many great colours that can used to create so many different Halloween looks and it is really good value. I only recently started using the Revolution make up range, and I must say, I am extremely impressed with the quality of the shadows.

EYES

To create the look, I used Wicked, The Hunger and Elm Street in the crease, starting with the lightest shade and built up the colour with the darker shades to cut the crease of the eye. For the eye lids I missed the lightest green shade (Lethal) from the palette with Highlite from the Revolution Flawless palette. For the under eye detail, I used a fine detailed brush and applied Darkness under the eye, leaving a slight gap. I applied Highlite in the gap under the eye. I then finished the eyes off with eyeliner and mascara.

CHEEKS

I used the shade Elm Street from the Revolution Give Them Nightmares palette to create a severe contour on the cheeks. This shade is the only matte green shade in the palette, so is a great alternative for the contour, however it is also the darkest green shade in the palette, so be careful with applying, that you do not use too much as this can ruin the effect. Above the contour lines, I used a mixture of Lethal, The Hunger and Wicked and swept the colour from the cheek done, up to the outer corner of the eye.

LIPS 

For the lips, I decided to create an ombre lip effect to complete the dark and edgy look. I do not have a black lip liner (or any lip liners for that matter) so I just used a normal eye liner pencil to outline the the lips. I also coloured in some of the lip near the outline, but made sure not to colour in too much as this would make the lip black and would ruin the ombre effect. I then covered the lips with a purpley-pink lip gloss that my friend had (not sure of the brand). This was my first attempt at an ombre lip, and I really loved it! I will definitely be buying some black lip liner and trying this out with my lipstick in the future!

Half Skull Tutorial

I am posting this a little late, however I thought I would share all the make up looks I created for Halloween.

My friend, boyfriend and parents let me do their make-up for Halloween. I thought it would be best to have a post dedicated to each look so that I can explain what products I used, so if anyone wants to recreate the look they can.

I was shocked that he would even wear the outfit my mom and I bought, let alone allow me to paint his face! My step dad is a bit of a biker so when I showed him a picture of what I wanted to do, he was more than happy for me to paint away. He even let me film the whole process for YouTube. Watch the full tutorial below, or visit my channel.

This was the first time I attempted to make something as detailed as this, but I had so much fun doing it.

Comment down below and let me know what you did for Halloween or share your creations with me. I would be really interested to see everyone's creations!

Speak to you again soon!
