Happy Halloween everyone!
For today's final look and Halloween post, I have created a neon clown look, which is a great last minute look for any Halloween parties tonight or at the weekend. I wanted to do a clown look, but with a twist, and when I saw neon clowns on Instagram, I knew I had to try it out!

You don't have to copy this look exactly, but I do hope you find inspiration from the products I have chosen & the look I have created. I have also put together 3 outfits as inspiration to go with the makeup.

And just to clarify, I am not a makeup professional, but I do enjoy experimenting with makeup.



Products used:
Primer - Benefit Porefessional Mattifying Primer
Foundation - Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation in Fair 1
Concealer - Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in 0
Powder - NYX HD Finishing Powder
Eye Primer - NYX HD Eyeshadow Base
Eyeshadow - Illamasqua Powder Eyeshadow in Daemon (red shadow) / NYX Toronto set (pink/purple shadow) / NYX Dublin Set (Yellow shadow) / Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette (Black shadow)
Liquid Liner - NYX White Liquid Liner
Eye Pencil - Soap & Glory Smoulder Kohl in Superblack
Mascara - Soap & Glory Thick & Fast HD Mascara
Lashes - MAC No.7
Eyelash Glue - Duo Adhesive
Lipstick - NYX Liquid suede cream lipstick in Sway
Setting Spray - Collection Primed & Ready Spray
 


This makeup can be done with any colours, I decided to use black, red, yellow and purple/pink. For the base, I just applied my normal foundation, concealer and powder. After the base is done, I moved onto the eyes. First prime them, them map out the shape using black eyeshadow. Go around the black with red (or whatever colour you are using), slightly blending the edges and colours together as you go. Then apply a line of white liner in the centre of the red shadow. To finish the eyes, put black pencil in the waterlines, apply mascara and lashes. For the nose, I did a circle of yellow shadow and did a thin line of white liner around the edge. For the lips, I applied the lipstick and then shaded a pink/purple shadow around the mouth and extended it, for a clown mouth shape. To finish the mouth, apply the white liner on the shadow. For my hair, I just put it into two extremely messy buns, but you could also wear a clown wig. Messy hair works best for the crazy clown look though. 



And that's the final look and blog post for Halloween 2018! I hope you liked this simple look, which is perfect for any last minute plans tonight or at the weekend. I also hope you have enjoyed all the other looks and the recipe I posted, throughout these 10 days.


Happy Halloween!

Today's look is Alice Angel from the game, Bendy & the Ink Machine. I thought that this would be a great Halloween look to do, as it is a horror game and the final chapter has just been released! I would of liked to have horns too, but I couldn't find any online and I didn't have time to make them from clay. However, I still think this looks great and it turned out much better than I thought it would. 
If you want a more professional take on an Alice Angel look, check out Madeyewlook's video.

You don't have to copy this look exactly, but I do hope you find inspiration from the products I have chosen & the look I have created. I have also put together 3 outfits as inspiration to go with the makeup.

And just to clarify, I am not a makeup professional, but I do enjoy experimenting with makeup.




Products used:
Primer - Benefit Porefessional Mattifying Primer
Powder - NYX HD Finishing Powder
Eye Primer - NYX HD Eyeshadow Base
Eyeshadow - Urban Decay Naked Smoky Palette (Grey and Black)
Eye Pencil - Soap & Glory Smoulder Kohl in Superblack
Liquid Liner - Soap & Glory Supercat Eyeliner Pen
Mascara - Soap & Glory Thick & Fast HD Mascara
Lipstick - Illamasqua Intense Lipgloss in Repulse
Setting Spray - Collection Primed & Ready Spray
White Face Paint - Grey, White and Black Trio
Black Face Paint - Grey, White and Black Trio
Wig - Black Bob Wig
Halo - White Halo Headband
 



As much as I love this look, it does take some time to do. After primer, I layered white face paint on my face and neck, to get the right amount of coverage. If I was going out for Halloween as Alice Angel, then I would paint any exposed areas of my body with white face/body paint too. I then primed one eyelid and did a grey smokey eye on it, using eyeshadow. Finish that eye with winged liner, black pencil in the waterlines, mascara and a small black dot under the eye. For my eyebrows, I used black face paint to fill them in, but you could use a black pencil or liquid liner. For the other eye, I mapped out the shape I wanted and filled in with black face paint, which I then set with black eyeshadow. Then I used a black pencil in the waterlines, added mascara, and then added drawing lines around the eye with black face paint. For the open mouth, I mapped out the shapes using grey eyeshadow which also added a little depth to the mouth, painted in the teeth using white face paint, and then filled in the rest with black face paint. I set the rest black face paint with black eyeshadow and all of the white face paint with translucent powder. With the black face paint, I drew on the line for the nose. For the inky drips on the eye, lips and neck, I used a sticky and shiny black lipgloss. Finish with a black wig and halo. I would of liked a longer wig and to add horns for this look, but I still love how this turned out. Also, a black eye contact would look great in the blacked out eye, so that you wouldn't have to constantly be closing your eye for photos! 
 
 

I hope you liked this Alice Angel inspired makeup look, and are loving the final chapter of Bendy & the Ink Machine. I know this isn't a simple look, but I couldn't resist giving it a try!

Today's look is a super simple knife eyeliner makeup. I got the inspiration for this eyeliner from Pinterest & Instagram, so let me know who originated this idea, so I can credit them. This look is perfect for people who need a last minute Halloween look, or who want to be a little bit spooky during the actual day of Halloween. 

You don't have to copy this look exactly, but I do hope you find inspiration from the products I have chosen & the look I have created, especially the accessories.

And just to clarify, I am not a makeup professional, but I do enjoy experimenting with makeup.



Products used:
Primer - Benefit Porefessional Mattifying Primer
Foundation - Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder Foundation in Fair 1
Concealer - Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer in 0
Powder - NYX HD Finishing Powder

Eye Pencil - NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Rust
Mascara - Soap & Glory Thick & Fast HD Mascara
Lipstick - Fenty Beauty Stunna Lip Paint in Uncensored

This look looks like it might be a little difficult, but it is super simple. Just apply your normal base routine, eyebrows and a red lip (Or any lip colour you want). Then for the eyes, set the eye primer with a bone coloured shadow, and then blend a grey/brown eyeshadow through the crease. Using a black liquid liner, draw on the knife shape. I don't really know how to explain it! Then, using a silver shadow, go over the main part of the knife, leaving a black outline. On the handle, add two white dots with liquid liner. To finish, add mascara, red pencil on the lower waterline and red eyeshadow. If you want to, you could add lashes. 

 


I hope you liked this simple makeup look, which is perfect for wearing during the Halloween day or for a last minute costume.

Today's look is a spider eye makeup, with 3 outfit ideas that would complement the eyeshadow. Even though it looks quite hard to do, it actually is quite simple to achieve. This could be a great last minute costume idea, as you could simply wear it with a black dress. I have provided three outfit ideas in this post, if you wanted to go with a more spider-looking outfit.
I only did one eye, but you could do both eyes the same. Also, you could wear whatever colour lipstick with this eye makeup. I went with red to match the hint of red glitter on the centre of the lid. 

You don't have to copy this look exactly, but I do hope you find inspiration from the products I have chosen & the look I have created. I have also put together 3 outfits as inspiration to go with the makeup.

And just to clarify, I am not a makeup professional, but I do enjoy experimenting with makeup.

Glitter - Lit Cosmetics Firecracker Glitter & Glitter Base


This makeup look isn't as hard as it looks. I got inspiration for this look from Pinterest, so let me know in the comments who originated this idea, so I can credit them. To re-create this look, start by applying your normal base products, brows and lipstick. Then, I set my eyeshadow primer with a skin-toned eyeshadow, blended a light brown/grey eyeshadow into the crease, and then smudged black eyeshadow on the lid and into the crease, as well as on the lower lash-line. Using the same black shadow, create the spider legs and pincers, then create the shadows using a light grey eyeshadow. Then using white liquid liner, apply highlights to the legs. Now this stage is optional, but I placed red glitter onto the centre of each lid. Finish with black pencil liner in the waterlines, mascara and false lashes. You could do both eyes, but I preferred only having one spider. 




The outfit for this makeup look could literally be anything. You could easily wear it with a simple black dress that you have in your wardrobe, or you could go a bit more spooky by wearing one of the three outfit choices I have suggested. Anything with spiders or cobwebs would look great with this makeup look.

Today's look is a simple mermaid makeup, with 3 different outfit ideas. I think this would be a great last minute costume idea, as you could re-create this using makeup only, even though I used face paint. You could also add face jewels, if you want to make it even more sparkly. The outfits are three different mermaid inspired looks, but you could also wear this makeup with a simple black dress, for any last minute plans. I chose blue/green tones for my mermaid scales, but any colour combination would work. 

You don't have to copy this look exactly, but I do hope you find inspiration from the products I have chosen & the look I have created. I have also put together 3 outfits as inspiration to go with the makeup.

And just to clarify, I am not a makeup professional, but I do enjoy experimenting with makeup.

Primer - Benefit Porefessional Mattifying Primer
Foundation - L'oreal True Match Foundation in Rose Ivory

Setting Spray - Collection Primed & Ready Spray
Face Paint - Blue Face Paint & Green Face Paint
Glitter - Barry M Glitter Rush in Snow Globe & Glitter Base
Fishnet Tights - Primark
Salt Spray - Bleach London Swamp Spritz



This makeup is simple to do and you can use eyeshadow instead of face paint for the scales. To start, just apply your normal base routine, but with no contour/blush/bronzer products, but you can add highlighter. I didn't apply anything to my brows, as I didn't want them to be overpowering, but if you want to add brows, you can. After the base, stretch the fishnet tights over your head, pulling it tight to cover your whole face. this might feel super weird, but it's a quick way to add scales to your face. Using a sponge, apply the face paint or eyeshadow across the forehead, coming round to your cheekbone area, and then some on your chin and jawline. Carefully remove the tights and you should be left with scales. Lightly dust powder on top to set the face paint. Then apply your lipstick, grey-toned smokey eye, mascara and lashes. Finally go crazy with the glitter! I applied some on my eye lids, cupids bow, brow bone and then a light dusting all over the face. 
To finish the look, I created a wet look effect to my hair, with salt spray, but you could also wear a wig. A glittery crown would also look great with this look, as well as face jewels. You can go crazy with the glitter and jewels for this mermaid costume. 
 



The outfit could be anything you want really. I put together three different looks, mainly focusing on using holographic and glittery items. But you could easily wear this makeup with a simple black dress. But if you love a bit of sparkle, you can wear tons of glitter for this costume. 

1 - Lindie Blue Sequin Mermaid Bodysuit £28.00 PrettyLittleThing
2 - Halloween Mermaid Metallic Mini Skirt £6.00 Boohoo
3 - Mermaid Sequin and Bead Clutch £10.00 Boohoo
4 - Halloween Mermaid Tights £10.00 ASOS
5 - Debbie Glitter Court Heels £14.99 Public Desire
6 - Plus Hollie Mermaid Skeleton Co-ord £12.00 Boohoo
7 - Iridescent Mermaid Heels £18.00 Boohoo
8 - Ocean Clutch Bag £12.00 SkinnyDip London

10 - True Decadence Blush Box Clutch Bag £22.00 ASOS
11 - Fancy Dress Skirt £29.99 H&M
12 - True Decadence Light Pink Court Shoes £21.50 ASOS



I hope you like this simple mermaid makeup look and the outfit inspiration I have provided. This is such a fun Halloween costume for people who love a glam costume, not a scary one. I think it could easily be achieved with makeup you already own, and is simple enough for a last minute costume.

Today's look is Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction, both with & without the bloody nose. Pulp Fiction is one of my favourite films, so I thought that this would be a great costume for Halloween. It's a simple last minute costume too, as you most likely have an outfit to go with the makeup in your wardrobe. If you don't, I have provided outfit suggestions for this Mia Wallace look, ranging in prices, so you can find an outfit for your budget. 

You don't have to copy this look exactly, but I do hope you find inspiration from the products I have chosen & the look I have created. I have also put together 3 outfits as inspiration to go with the makeup.

And just to clarify, I am not a makeup professional, but I do enjoy experimenting with makeup.

This makeup look is a simple brown/grey toned eyeshadow look, with winged liner and a bold red lip. To re-create this look, apply your normal base makeup, blend grey/brown tones on your eyes, add winged liner and a bold red lip. I didn't add any false lashes with this look, but you can if you want to. For the blooded nose look, add fake blood from your nostrils, and you can mess up the eyeshadow if you want to. I didn't want to mess up the shadow, but I do think it would look super effective. If you don't have short dark hair, you can buy a wig like I did.




The outfit is super simple and can most likely be made from items that are already in your wardrobe. It just involves a white oversized shirt, black cropped trousers and black ballet flats. A black lace bra showing through the shirt also adds to the look. I have provided 3 different versions of each item, ranging in prices, so that you can create the outfit, no matter what your budget is. 

1 - Cotton White Shirt £8.99 H&M

7 - Scallop-edged Ballet Flats £8.99 H&M
8 - Maple Round Toe Ballerina £12.00 Very
9 - Black Leather Ballerinas £28.00 Next






I hope you like this Mia Wallace from Pulp Fiction look. It's such a simple Halloween costume, that is great from someone who doesn't want to go super scary or over-the-top. You could also wear this to a movie fancy dress party, when it's not Halloween.
