31 Days of Halloween: DollHouse

Day 5...



Welcome to the Doll House!
Going as a "Doll" for a Halloween costume is great because the creative interpretations are endless!
Just some of the ideas include...
Barbie
Victorian
Gothic
Evil
Sexy
Rag doll
And those are just to name a few.
What I used:
L'oreal True Match in Neutral
Too Faced Naked Eye palatte in "Pink Cheeks" & "In the Buff"
Sephora Eyeliner Creme
Rimmel Soft Khol eye pencil in "Pure White"
Maybelline Lash Stiletto: Voluptuous
False eye lashes for both the top and bottom
Rimmel Powder Blush in "Pink Rose"

The four different lip colors I played with were:
Revlon "Wild Orchid"
Milani "Berry Rich"
Avon "Merlot"
NYC "Cafe"

31 Days of Halloween: Jack & Sally

Day 4 of "31 Days of Halloween" is...



What I used:
Professional Make-up Cream in "Black" & "White"
Sephora Eyeliner Creme in "Must Have"
CoverGirl Eye Enhancers in "Blazing Blues"
Red lip pencil


*I have never been able to find a cream foundation for "Sally" that closely resembles the shade of blue from the movie. (The same problem when I recreate the Corpse Bride)
So...using the white cream and the lightest blue powder from the Eye Enhancers, I mixed a combination that gets a lot closer to what I want.
However, there is a trade-off. After you've been wearing the foundation for a while, it becomes crumbly.
And that's only when mixed with another component. But, in a pinch, this will work.

31 Days of Halloween

Every day for the entire month of October I will create a make-up look inspired by classic and popular Halloween costumes. I'll also share my favorite Halloween books, movies, music and other goodies. The look to kick off the month is inspired by "Jane" from Twilight: New Moon.




I will admit that red colored contacts would truly complete this look, however, those with brown eyes have a fun advantage.
When it comes to makeup, brown-eyed girls have a lot of freedom. Since brown is a fusion of primary colors blue, red and yellow. When wearing black shadow/liner you may notice that your eyes appear more a deep red than brown.
While out running errands today, I was asked a number of times where I got my 'contacts'. People were genuinely surprised when I told them I wasn't wearing any.

What I used:
Foundation: CoverGirl Clean in "Creamy Natural"
and NYC Smooth Skin Loose Powder in "Translucent"
Eyeshadow: Too Faced Naked Palatte in "Unmentionables" and "Stiletto"
Eyeliner: Stila Kajal eye liner in "Onyx"
Mascara: Maybelline Lash Stiletto
Lips: Avon in "Rosiest"

For my 'bloody nails', I followed the simple instructions from this video:
