Halloween 2011

This year for halloween I was able to do a few different looks on myself and some friends of mine. In this post, I will post the pictures and give a brief description of what I did. I went to two different 80's nights, Zombicon, and a regular costume party downtown. It was by far the funnest year to dress up! Since I already posted my Zombicon pictures on the previous post, I will just post the 80's nights and the other party! Enjoy!


80's night #1
The girls let my dress them and do hair and makeup. It's pretty crazy that this is all my regular clothes but when you put it together in such a way, it can look pretty ridiculous!


For this look, I curled my hair to the max and teased it until it coulden't be teased anymore! When I think 80's I think big fluffy bangs so that exactly what I did! For the makeup, I wanted to do bright pinks and blues so I blended the two shades on my lid and topped with liner for the ultimate 80's look. I also used that same bright pink eye shadow for my blush. I completed the look with the brightest pink lipstick I could find!



For Jordan's 80's look I teased her hair in 80's fashion. For her eyeshadow I used a bright green all the way to her brows, and topped it off with the bright pink blush and lips.



Tanya has pretty short hair so a little teasing goes a long way! Instead of the pink lips, I went with a bright red to accentuate the outfit and her cute heels. For the eyes, I just used a bright blue on the top and bottom.



80's night #2
This time, we decided to go a little wilder with our 80's looks. This is the result!


This time, I went with black and pink on the eyes and I found these crazy lashes to acetate the look as well as a lightning bolt glitter sticker!


This is the other side. You can see my hair better in this picture. I did a lot of curls and even crimped some pieces!


Here we are in all of our 80's glory! They brought there own outfits, but I did the hair and makeup for them.


I truly believe I was meant to live in the era! It was so much fun getting ready! We even did a mini macbook photo shoot!




Saturday night Halloween party


My mother was going to a costume party as Cleopatra. She basically told me to do whatever so using Elizabeth Taylor as my inspiration, I created my own version.


I felt like cleopatra would wear more gold, so I created a look by blending the two shades together and extending the liner with blue liner as well as black.





Jordan was going as a dark angel. I created this looks using some clever line work using black liner, and glitter liner as well as a few shades of pink and black shadows. I didn't have black lipstick, so I used concealer as a base, then topped it with black eyeliner and set it with black shadow and it lasted her all night!
For her hair, I wanted to show off her eye makeup as much as possible so I teased it into a pompadour with the sides slicked to accentuate the look.





Me and my boyfriend decided to go as phantom of the opera and I was the angel of music. I originally bought him a mask but when he tried it on, it just wasn't working so I decided to paint him a mask instead!


For my Angel of music look, I wanted to have a modern victorian look. Since I just got my hair cut into a long bob, I had to add clip in extensions to my hair and style it to look victorian. For the makeup, I used golds and browns to go with the outfit.



My and my phantom <3



good and evil!



All in all, this was one of the most fun Halloweens I have had in a while! It's the only time of year you can really get fun and creative with your looks and people don't look at you like you have two heads! Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoyed the post :)

Zombicon 2011!

Every year in downtown Ft. Myers, a Zombie festival is held as a block party in the streets. This is one of my favorite times of year because I get to truly be creative and have a ton of fun with hair and makeup!

This years Zombie theme was old Hollywood. We saw a lot of Marilyn Monroe Zombies, flappers, and dead men in top hats. Also, this year Guinness book of world records was there to record how many zombies attended this years festivities. We are still waiting to hear back with the results but by the looks of it I think we broke the record!

*I took this picture from http://www.zombicon.com/

This year for my costume, I wanted to go for an old fashioned house wife! I ended up finding the cutest costume online fully equipt with a dress, a tulle skirt to fluff up the dress, and bloody stockings. I bought a dead baby backpack and white out contact lenses to complete the look. I also, went to my nail tech Edy at Profiles on Del Prado, and asked to have extra long rounded "claws" to look like I scratched someone up, sick I know. lol

Here are some photos of the fun!

sticker makeup?

Hello everyone! I know I haven't posted in a while and I really have no excuses this time except for lack of motivation! But here is something fun that I discovered recently that I have really been loving!



So my quest to find sticker makeup started on facebook. On my sidebar link I saw these girls wearing cheetah, leopard, and all different designs on there lips! I had to find out what it was! It was a company called Violent lips (you can visit the site at Violentlips.com). They had all kinds of different designs to choose from! I went with the red zebra.


I was so excited to try them! They come 3 in a pack for $14.95. Unfortunately, my first two attempts have been unsuccessful because with all the excitement of trying them, I didn't read the directions! I have one more attempt in my pack and I will be watching the tutorial on the website for tips to applying them!

My other sticker makeup discovery was a little more pricy but so worth it! It's Dior Velvet eyes eyeliner patches!


Anyone who know me knows my obsession with eyeliner so when I found out they sold them at Sephora, I ran to the store to get my kit! It comes with 4 different designs! I haven't had an occasion to wear them to yet but I cannot wait to try them!

Another added bonus when I went to Sephora, I found out they sell the Glitter collection from violent lips there! I didn't get any because the velvet eyes was pretty expensive but I will be returning for those later!
