A Quick, Unexpected Halloween Request

Hello Beauties!

Firstly, Happy Halloween!

Secondly, I was asked to do halloween look on my niece just before dinner was cooked at around 6pm... I have no face paiting stuff so I had to ask her to go into my old bedroom at my mums and grab a box off the top of the book shelf with loads of random products in. Hopefully I could find something in there to make her look spook-tacularly gorgeous (hehe... sorry, lol).

 

She wanted something to cover her whole face, something a little frightening, and not to look like herself. The task was a BIG ask on such short notice.

 

I found Wilko White Face Paint (which had to be layered, many many layers!), oh but before that I used my Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in number 1 Fair (used with a buffing brush). The face paint was applied using a stippling brush and a beauty blender sponge.

 

I used Make Up Academy (MUA) Gel Eyeliner in Underground (black) all around the eyes and on the sides of her nose using the little applicator that comes with it that is located in the lid (Very handy!).

 

I grabbed a small fluffy eye brush and gently blended the two sides of the nose together to create a grey effect on the bridge of the nose.

 

I then used a shadow brush to create teeth using the Wilko White Face Paint, MUA Gel Eyeliner in Underground was used to give the teeth definition. I also used it to run along the mouth and lip area.

 

I used Make Up Revolution Salvation Velvet Lip Lacquer on the lips in Velvet Black Heart.

 

I added a sculpted look to the face using a black eyeshadow to hollow out cheek bones, forehead, chin and neck. I then dusted a grey colour all over the face.

 

To create the blooded hole on her forehad I used Make Up Revolution Salvation Velet Lip Lacquer in Velvet Black Heart along with Jeffree Star Cosmetics Velour Liquid Lipstick in Unicorn Blood. Mixing them together in places, stippling them on in places. Just creating texture. I also added black, red, and even green to the blooded hole.

 

I then added some Fake Blood which was from ASDA, it came in a little kit with an open wound.

 

Altogether I'm pleased with the result, I wanted it to be a skull look but ultimately the client wins - she wanted black lips, along with a blooded hole in the head.

Looking onto the photo now (I can't look at her because she's out having fun) I can see a few things that I would definitely 100% alter but I've told her that next time she wants me to do something let me know before hand so I can prepare with all the right stuff!

 

 

Let me know what you think, did I do good on the very last minute requested look?

Speak to you soon,

Have fun! Be good!

Love Tessa. x
