Halloween 2015

Before coming to Uni I had never been to many halloween parties where I needed to dress up or create a make-up look, therefore this year when I saw there was a big event here I was exited to experiment! I was unsure to begin with what I wanted to go as, however I knew that I didn't want to just wear dark smokey make-up. While looking through Facebook and Youtube I came across this video of a make-up artist creating a creepy clown look. It was creative and something I had never seen before. It looked simple to create, yet I knew it would take me a while.
Clown Make-up
I started by completing my normal make-up routine except the eyes. I used a pink blush and applied highlight. I used the same colours that were used in the video on and around the eyes. I found creating the straight lines tricky and especially getting them even on both eyes. Overall I was really happy with my final look, especially for a first attempt! I wore my hair in two french plaits down the back of my head and wore a black midi tutu with a black top. I wanted to top to show the red and white neck. 

My friends also asked me to do their halloween make-up. On my friend Brad he wanted to go as the man from Saw. It was very simple to create and didn't take to much time at all. I only did half the face to save time and added a black line down the middle of the head to define the divide. Even though the make-up was simple it was very effective. 

Finally, Jordan wanted to go as black swan. She wore a black top with a black tutu. I placed black across the whole eye and up to the eyebrow. Using a thin brush, I then created thin feathery lines coming from the eye. In the middle of this I added white and silver. She wore fake lashes on both eyes. On the face I then contoured used black eyeshadow and used a silver eyeshadow to highlight. To add some colour to the look she wore a berry lip. I love this look and is something simple to wear if you do not want to wear lots of make-up or want to go as something very complicated.
