Halloween series: Boogey man

Do you know how a Boogey man looks like? No? Me neither, but in my mind he looks like a really pale dude, because he hides in closets, right? Right. Has big mouth and sharp teeth so he can eat naughty children and is covered in blood, because he has a good appetite :). I also added some veins on the face, which were more noticable in real life.

- Essence Stay all day concealer
- Barry M Whirte foundation
- baby powder
- Coastal Scents 88 palette
- Avon gel eyelineer pencil

- glue for paper work, toilet paper
- fake nails for teeth
- fake blood

And that's how I got rid of my fake mouth and teeth. :)

I decided to do this makeup, because my twitter user name is @BooogeyWoman after all :). Hope I didn't scare you too much!

I hope you like it and don't forget to check your closet before bed time ;)

Halloween series: Forest Witch

Guess who's back? And it's not Eminem ;)

Hellllooooo, how are you all doing? I missed you! Did you miss me? ;)
And instead of another blah blah blog post, I decided to get straight back to business. Halloween is around the corner and I still haven't done any Halloween looks! Expect at least 4 looks this year and if you need more ideas, check out my last year's looks here: click.

Today I did Forest Witch, because I didn't want to do regular witch and paint my whole face green, so I went with half face of wood looking skin to represent the forest, which I am not 100% satisfied with, but I got a little rusty not doing anything special to my face for such a long time. *sigh* :) The other half of the face is heavily contoured, pale and eye makeup has added reds and purples. The only thing missing was contact lens in my left eye, but I didn't want to bother my eyes with lenses, I just got rid of them last year, so imagine it yourself ;)

Products used:
Face:
- Bourjois Healthy mix serum
- Barry M white foundation
- Essence Match 2 cover concealer
- eBay concealer palette
- baby powder
- NYX Taupe for contour
- Coastal Scents 88 palette (the darkest brown for contour)
- Bourjois eyeshadow 90 Blanc

Eyes:
- NYX jumbo pencil Black bean
- Coastal Scents 88 palette (black, purple, red, white)
- Catrice liquid eyeliner
- Avon super shock gel eyeliner

Eyebrows:
(to cover):
- Elmers washable school glue
- baby powder
- Catrice Match 2 cover concealer
(drawn with):
- Bourjois black eye pencil
- Coastal Scents 88 palette (black)

Lips:

I hope you dig it. :)

Halloween series: DRAG QUEEN

Hello, I'm Iva Fetish :) (according to Google, that's my drag name. haha)
Thi is my last Halloween look and tomorrow I'm posting grande Halloween finale (nothing special, just a recap of all looks and maybe some last minute costume ideas).

So, I decided to do Drag queen inspired look. I already did one way back for The Penguin challenge, here.
Drag queen makeup is really challenging and hard to do, especially if you're a woman, I think. Because you need to look like a man who pretends to be a woman, but you really are a woman. Anyways, I love drag queens and I think their makeup is always a piece of art. That's why I decided todo it for my last Halloween look :)

I started with foundation, I applied Bourjois Bio detox foundation on my face. I mixed my Bourjois Healthy mix concealer with white foundation Barry M and applied it underneath my eyes to cover my under eye circles and to highlight that area. If you ever seen any drag queen, you probably noticed that this area is the lightest. It was hard for me to achieve that, because I'm pretty white, so I went over with NYX jumbo pencil in Milk to make it even lighter. I applied it down the center of my nose and extended it to my forehead. I blended it with my fingers. I set my whole face with Artdeco fixing powder.

(you can see highlighted under eye area)

Then I started contouring. I used two colours: Avon Translucent Tan and Catrice eyeshadow in Starlight Expresso. I contoured underneath my cheekbones, my temples, around my hairline, under my jaw line and blended it on my neck. I applied more fixing powder underneath my eyes to protect my face from any fall outs of an eyeshadow or glitter.

 

I primed my lids with Two Faced Shadow insurance.

I started shaping my crease with light brown, and went over with lighter berry eyeshadow. Then I went over with darker berry colour (I was building the intensity of eyeshadow, both shadows Sleek Chaos palette). Then I applied darker purple (Artdeco eyeshadow 288) and blended it in all those colours. It was a lot of going back and forth to achieve desirable look. Underneath my brows I applied NYX white Jumbo pencil and set it with Bourjois Blanc eyeshadow.

To intensify the crease I used matte black and blended it into other colours.

 

Underneath my eyes I used the same colours and did that "winged thing" in the inner corners. for the glitter I used Essence pigment in Broadway starlet with Essence eye base for pigments. I lined my eyes with Essence Gel eyeliner.

For my top false lashes I used H&M Extra long and for bottom I used eBay lashes with Duo lash adhesive.

Then I extended eyeshadow on the outer corner and blended it with my contour together. I used Catrice eyeshadow Bring me frosted cake and Bourjois Blance eyeshadow to highlight underneath my eyes, nose, above my lips and  forehead.

For blush I used that light berry colour from Sleek Chaos palette, the same I used on my eyes. I blended it in my contour. And if you're doing Drag, it must be intense!! (I actually wear a lot of blush on daily basis^^)

 

I over lined my lips with Deborah lipliner in 222. I also applied it in the corners of my lips. In the center I applied Sleek Pout Paint in Milkshake. Then I went back and forth to blend those two colours together. I applied clear lip gloss on top.

I didn't cover my eyebrows, because you know I'm not a fan of covering them, so I just tried to draw my arch higher. I used Catrice eyeshadow Expresso Starlight. And also brow bone highlight helped to make them look higher.

 

(I finally figure out how to take full picture of my outfit.haha)

I wore black tank top underneath this lace blue top. For bottom part I wore shinny leggings and VJ Style booties. I figured out that whole outfit doesn't look glamorous enough, so I added this faux fur "scarf", that I took from my jacket. After that I felt much more Queen-ish.

Earrings were a gift from my (now ex) flatmate. Thank you <3

Ok, I this is final step. Because men are flat chested, they need to fake cleavage. They usually wear silicone fake boobs, but I think the most important step is to highlight and contour. Here is the video: click (he starts explaining at 4:50).

"I'm fabulous, b*tch." :]

That's my last Halloween look! I hope you like all of them like I do. I had so much fun!

Which one is your favourite? 

Halloween series: HOPELESS ROMANTIC (Tim Burton inspired look)

If you're familiar with Tim Burton's movies, you know that the main character is an outcast, probably dead, different looking, grotesque looking, but still pretty, romantic soul and loving person. I just named my character Hopeless Romantic, it represents girl waiting for her princ charming, but never shows up, so she dies, but she still waits for him. That's why she's pale, has wound on her face and her neck and left side of the lips are already sawn together.

This look was totaly insired by Corpse Bride and Sally (Nightmare before Christmas). Mixed both looks together and did my own version.

Firstly, I did my scar with regular glue stick, I let it air dry.

Then I mixed Barry M white foundation with grey and light blue eyeshadow. I applied that colour all over my face and neck with cosmetic sponge and set everything with baby powder. 

I started contouring with grey eyeshadow, went over with darker blue, and went back and forth with both colours to achieve desirable contour shade. I contoured under my cheeekbones, under my jaw line, temples and around my hair line.

I primed my eyes with Too Faced shadow insurance. I applied NYX jumbo pencil in Milk underneath my eyes to make them more doll like and bigger. I set that with matte white eyeshadow.

I lined underneath with Essence gel eyeliner. I started shaping with matte black eyeshadow above my crease line to make my eyes rounder. I blended the edges a little and started applying dark blue eyeshadow inside that black shape I just did.

 

In the center of my eyelids I applied light shimmery eyeshadow, I blended it with darker blue in the outer corner. I applied gel eyeliner on my upper lashline and applied Baci falsies no. 670. 

I applied darker blue eyeshadow around my eyes to make them more three-dimentional.

I cut eBay false lashes and applied them underneath my "fake" eye.

I used dark blue eyeshadow to draw on eyebrows. (I was to lazy to cover them, it takes too much time with my eyebrows). I highlighted the highest points of my face to make them stand out.

I decided to do lips in heart shape to go with romantic theme. I outlined them with Artdeco lipliner no 91 and applied Catrice lipstick in Frozen Rose in the center. On the other parts of my lips I applied light blue eyeshadow.

The only "romantic" dress that I have is this from H&M, I love it to pieces. I decided to combine it with this (also H&M) scarf with roses, again to go with the romantic theme. I wore black tights and black peep toe Schuh shoes.

 

I applied pinkish blush from NYX, because I still blush whenever I think of my loved one.

I applied darker blue eyeshadow around my wound to make it more realistic, and applied dark red and black in the center. Lastly, I applied fake blood (made with agave nectar, cocoa and strawberry aroma for food) and some stitches on my neck and on the left side of my lips. For that I used gel eyeliner. I totaly messed up, when I tried to apply some dark blue shadow to make it more realistic, because eyeliner wasn't dry yet. *sigh*

"I saved this rose for you, my love."

(I got this rose with a cocktail in Spain and saved it :])

Happy Halloween!!
