OMG, thank you for collecting these! I love them all but if I had to choose a favorite, it would probably be the sugar skull. Now I’m wondering if I could pull that off! HA
Halloween is my favorite time of the year and my friends and I gather together and try our hand at special effects makeup doing mostly zombies. The Mystique Inspiration is absolutely beautiful., I will have to try that one to see how that looks on me. I also love American Horror Story, so I may try the Weeping Nun in honor of them.
These are some great make up tips for Halloween. I can’t believe Halloween is approaching already! Time is flying by, but I love Halloween! I like to do make up for halloween, its always so cold so I don’t dress up when I take my kids out because nobody can see the costume under my coat, but make they can see!
These are great makeup ideas for Halloween! I love the Comic Girl makeup style. I can’t believe that Halloween is right around the corner now, great time to start planning it out and practicing the makeup.
These are all such great Halloween Makeup Ideas! I love the spiderwebs on the eyelid. I think I would wear that on a regular day too! I need to figure out what I will dress up as before it’s too late but I am really leaning towards Lucille Ball, I just love her!
While I am not a fan of Halloween, it always let me know that it’s a time for the end of the year. It’s the beginning of what I call the holiday season and the soon end of the year. These are some really good makeup ideas. I think my favorite is the deer.
I LOVE the deer makeup! My little sister did something very similar last year and she looked amazing! I haven’t ever used a lot of makeup for costumes but these are all great ideas.
I am so envious of people who have the patience and skill to create eye-catching makeup results on their face. I can barely paint my fingernails without messing up. I’ve always wanted to do a Day of the Dead Skull job on myself. The Weeping Nun shown here is soooo creepy.
The weeping nun is super easy if you want to get your toes wet trying that one first! 🙂
