Halloween Looks

Hi Lovelies! Happy Belated Halloween!

So this year I had the opportunity to dress up three times for Halloween (and I love fancy dress) so I decided to have some fun experimenting! The first two looks were for work as we had to dress up, so I couldn't go too scary as I was going to be dealing with customers! I'm just going to briefly explain how I did my looks incase anyone is interested, but I won't explain too in depth or this post would go on forever. If anyone wants to know more though drop me a comment and I'll tell you more :).

First look: Cracked doll

I think cute but creepy pretty much sums up this look. It was quite difficult to create but really fun!! To create the larger eye I basically drew a circle with liquid eyeliner quite far under my lash line, then stuck a small set of false lashes (upside down) on the new lash line and filled in the space with white liner. I did my eyeshadow with pinks and purples and did it quite over the top. I also have false lashes on my upper lash line. To do the "crack" I used black liquid eyeliner again and I blended this lightly using brown eyeshadow which also created a nice shadow. For my hair I added some extensions for extra thickness (although they are shorter than my real hair now!) and I curled and teased it a lot and added the big flower. My outfit is from new look, and I teamed the dress with a pair of biker boots also from New Look!

 Second Look: Spider Princess

 


I wasn't really sure what to name this look! This look was pretty easily, it just required a lot of patience. To create the spider web I drew on the lines with black liquid eyeliner before I applied my eyeshadow. You can use pencil if you're scared you might go wrong but personally I think liquid creates a bolder effect. I then went over the lines with blue sparkly liquid eyeliner (thought it might make my eyes pop more!) and then attatched the little gems using eyelash glue (that was the tricky part). Im also wearing false lashes again. For my hair I pretty much did the same as I did with the first look, but I french braided my fringe and threaded some of those fake cobwebs you can get into it. Outfit is the same as the first look.

Final Look: Vampire Diaries
Sorry about the poor quality of these last pictures, this was my actual halloween night out look, and these photos were very last minute and very rushed!! I'm a massive fan of the Vampire Diaries, so instead of just going for the regular vampire look, I wanted to do the Vampire Diaries! I'd say this look is rather Katherine-ish don't you think?! For my eyes I used black liquid eyeliner again for the "veins" and I blended these in using red lipstick as I wanted them to look more realistic. The fangs are also something I would definitely recommend!! They are by Scarecrow and were amazing! I'd read up on them before and the reviews weren't wrong. You can purchase them on Amazon, although I would say follow the instructions exactly!! My boyfriend's didn't work as well because he wasn't patient enough! I then smeared a load of fake blood on me for dramatic effect and my hair is pretty similar to my other looks, just majorly teased and I sprayed in some glitter too! My leotard is from Missguided and my skirt is from New Look. I also had on a tutu from Amazon to puff it up a bit! I wore the same boots as I mentioned in the other looks (my camera can never fit my shoes in!)

Hope you enjoyed and please let me know your favourite!

What did you guys dress up as this Halloween?
