Tomorrow is Halloween!
I love this time of year - it's the time that I get all of my jewellery (Poundland's halloween necklaces make my life, and I do love wearing gothicy jewellery.)
Another thing that I love about it is the dressing up and makeup.
At the weekend, I went to Camden with a few friends, and we went into Cyberdog where the workers had the best Halloween makeup I have ever seen.
It made me really want to do some makeup myself.
And seeing as I'm attending a halloween mini-festival on Friday, I have a perfect excuse to!
But now I need your help deciding which look to do.
Here are the options:
1/ Doll Face Makeup. I'm just adding the link to the post about it, rather than re-uploading the pictures.
Differences: Use a real white eyeliner; use white aquacolour which will dry and go on nicely, rather than the white foundation which was patchy and smudgey; wear some fake lashes, and a little fake blood around the "staples"?
2/ Simple Zombie Makeup. Again, just the link.
Differences: Add some actual fake blood, rather than using red lippy, and use proper makeup so that the base doesn't go as patchy as it did.
3/ Clown Makeup.
N.B. That isn't me in the picture, but it was me who did the makeup. And I did that makeup so many times that I can easily do it again on myself.
The things that would be different if this was the design I choose: The bald cap/hair, because I don't own a premade bald cap and dont have time to make one, and the eyebrows because I don't have any wax or sealent to flatten down my own brows to paint the big black ones over the top. Instead I would just blacken my own.
Outfit: Anything. Everything! Basically, I dont know. Because I think this will work just as well with either clowny clothes, or regular clothes.
4/ Broken Doll Makeup.
Now I think if this was the design that I am going to do I would firstly spend a little longer on this so that I could get the lines perfect, rather than rushing to get it done, photographed and off before my parents got home and had a good old laugh at me. Secondly, I would make my eyes more doll like with white eyeliner and false lashes. Finally, I would have to sort out the lips. They look awful! I would attempt to make them look more like the lips in my "Doll Face Makeup".
Outfit: Cutesy-gothic dress and either military boots or black pumps.
5/ Simple Zombie Makeup (Version II).
Fake blood, fake blood, I love fake blood...! Well it does make so much of a difference to how the makeup looks. I think if this was the design that I am going to do then I would probably add some more fake blood, from the corners of the eyes perhaps? And would have my hair messy and down.
Outfit: A skirt and shirt of some sort. Perhaps even corset up. I love corsets.
So there you have it. The different halloween-style makeup looks that I have tried so far.
Any ideas which I should go for? Or have you any other ideas that I could try (links to pictures, etc.)? Have you done any awesome halloween makeup over this spooky time of year?
The new ones are so amazing!!! ZOMG Bekki! :D
