Me doing the makeup for my step-sister

I use Temptu S/B white, green and blue adjusters as a base applied with brushes and sponges. I then airbrushed a darker combination of the colours on top. I used purple S/B for the nose and inner lips. I used white eyeliner on the outer upper eyelids and lower inner lids.The white dots were done with cream white eyeliner mixed with glow in the dark makeup from TKB. I powdered it all with ELF HD Powder mixed with Blue Mica from TKB.

 Me. Oh my, this was some work. I went as Princes Peach, but my plumber boyfriend Mario didn't get there in time so Bowser burned me and scratched me.

Scratches and burn

I used 3rd degree by Alcone to create the burns and scratches. I made the blood colours by using my grease paint palette form college and some fresh scab. I made the burn look fresh and gooey by adding Mac's gloss texture on top.

In the past Halloween hasn't meant much to me, but since finishing makeup school it gives me a great chance to show off my creative side with special effects makeup.

Last Years Zebra

Last year I went as a zebra, I was inspired by the face-charts that Mac had last year to do it. I used Kett airbrush hydro in white as a base, I  ran low near the end, that is why my neck is more faded. For the lines I wanted to airbrush them on, but since it was on my own face it was too difficult, so I used Mac Fluidline in Blacktrack. I had to powder a lot to make it dry to last, I honestly would use Mac Pro Chromaline or acrylics this year if I were to do it again.

 My partner, Richard, went as a dead gangster.  This just involved him dressing as a gangster and me adding a simple bullet wound and some blood

I also dress my dog up, this has become a tradition. The first year I made him a Monty costume and he went as 'Monty the Mounty'. Last year it was a stripper aka 'The Full Monty'. This year I will stray from the Monty themed costumes since I didn't feel like making him one. He is going to go to work as a frog prince.

This year my plan is to go as Princess Peach from Super Mario, but that I would have been attacked by Bowser leaving me with scratches and burns. This is going to involve a pink dress, a crown, white gloves, 3rd degree, ridged collodion, mac gloss and some fresh scab. I am trying to convince Richard to go as Mario, but I doubt this will happen, so I want to find a Bowser doll to accompany me.

I'm also doing my sister and her fiancee's makeup, they are going as Nav've from Avatar, so I will be airbrushing that on for the most part. I love to airbrush over grease paint. It lasts, it doesn't budge and it is light, so you don't notice it all night. If you do blow your nose (like I did many times last year) it wont ruin the look.

Happy Tick or Treating everyone, let me know what it is you plan on going as this year.
