The Last Halloween 2014: Angry Skull

I decided to end this years Halloween looks with something I have never attempted before. I am so excited to bring you my ANGRY SKULL.
Let's get started...
Begin mapping out your bone structure with a black eyeliner. I used pictures of actual skulls to do this as well as just feeling around my own bone structure.
 Add white paint or cream makeup to any areas of bone and then  powder with white eyeshadow.
  Start to add more detail using black gel liner and a thin brush. I started to fill in the tip of the nose, add the temples, cracks and natural breaks on the forehead and nose, as well as altering the shape of the eye socket a bit more to match the feel of my own bone structure.
 Start to shade downward and inward on all of your lines.


Fill in the upper eyelid with black liner and pat the entire area with black shadow. Line the upper and lower water line with black liner.


Add white cream makeup to the brow to make it stand out and then powder with white shadow. Redefine the eye where needed.



Continue to add more shading where you feel you need it. Making sure you are only going in one direction.


Define teeth with a black shadow and then pull lines up from the edge of each tooth to create the connecting bone.



Start to shade in your hollow areas so you can easily see where you  need to add highlight. Add white cream makeup in the opposite direction of your dark shading. Above all cracks and inside the nasal bones.

Shade the lower part of the eye with black shadow, go slowly! The shadow instead of the paint will make the area seem to have more depth. Add black paint to the gaps between the cheekbone and jaw, and the temples.


Define the teeth with a thin line of liquid liner and then shade inside each tooth as well as upward and downward through the bone.

Make a defined line following the eye shape and shade downward. Fill in the nose completely with black paint and highlight lightly around the teeth, inside the cheek gap with white shadow.
and YOU'RE DONE!

Halloween 2014: Easy Geisha

One of my lovely friends requested this fun look so let's get started!
Start by using a glue stick to gently press down the end of your brows and allow to dry. 
Blend any white cream makeup over the skin with a damp sponge. Press press press!!! a white powder or eyeshadow into the skin to make sure it lasts all night and doesn't crease. Don't forget around the eyes, just be gentle. 
Using a light pink blush and a very fluffy brush, sweep the color around the forehead and over the eyelids and brows in an upward motion. This isn't to add a lot of color, just a bit of a whisper. Ha. 
Using a darker pink, fill in the brows leaving points at both ends. 
Create a curved shape at the end of your eyelid with a red shadow and fill it in, leaving a small gap between the end of flick and your lower lid. 
With a soft black liked fill in the water line and like the upper lash line ever so slightly. 
LIPS!
Create a very pronounced heart shaped upper lip with a red lip liner. 
And then completely fill in your lips. 
Then just add a good coat of a creamy red lipstick and soft coat of mascara and...
YOU'RE DONE!
To Brandy, I really hope you like this and it helps you feel better! 
I hope everyone likes this look. It's very simple but so beautiful and eye catching. 
P.s. I left a little sneak peak of an upcoming look in the sparkle of my eyes!! 
Thank you so much for reading!
