Makeup For The Crow...

Further down you find the tutorial I used for the eye makeup to my Crow Woman costume.. I changed it up a bit and made a black doll/geisha mouth with red center, instead of just black lips. I think it worked well with the whole circus/freak show theme.. I also had planned to make cuts out on both sides of my mouth, blood dripping from the wounds like on the tutorial on the bottom.. But didn't get the time for it, the eyes took much longer than I thought it would.. Doesn't it allways? lol Allways think I have so much time, but end up stressing through makeup and costume at the end...

I used clown powder in my face to get an even white surface, worked really well! Much better than the white creams you get in the costume stores for Halloween.. I've even used the powder afterwards, when I dressed up for the birthday costume party a couple of weeks ago. I found it to be really versatile and can be used for several looks. Just add as much or little whiteness as you want;)

Some more photos of my costume as the Crow Woman for this years Halloween.. If you followed my blog pre Halloween, you know I struggled through no less than 4 yards of cock feather trim that was made into a small skirt and a stole, and also an endless peice of fabric for my tutu. With no sewing machine at hand.. I also made a small, feather trimmed, headband out of some that was left.. On top of this I made a crow inspired fascinator hat!

I'm not sure which evil pit this devious creature crawled out of..

A better photo of the hat while on my head...

Bloody Great Halloween Makeup...

I woke up this morning to a beautiful, sunny day.. Twinkeling frost sprinkled over the roof tops and the ground, where the sun rays hadn't found their way. Me and my love hit town pretty early to do some more Halloween shopping. I still had a few pieces missing for my costume and makeup that I had to go look for.. I went to a makeup store down town, with professional makeup. I found some really great stuff there, which I think will look awsome for the look I'm trying to achive.. I bought two different blood looking makeup gels, to make bloody cuts in my skin. They also had some latex to build it up and make it look all real, but I'll do it a little easier by going for some darker color underneath, like a black eyeliner to give it depths. Hopefully I'll be able to pull it off!! The girl in the store adviced me to do a test makeup before the real one, just to make sure.. Not sure, had decided just to do it sort of and see where it took me.. Hahhah Maybe a bit optimistic, but think it's the best way sometimes;)

Lavish Halloween Makeup!!

I've been looking around for some cool Halloween makeup and found these three styles that I would love to try out!! I also found Makeup Styles, a blog that shows you how to get the look that you want to achive. Worth a try you ask me! What about teaming up with a friend if you're not too steady with the brushes;)

I love the flowers over the face... Think I'll have to try this one out for my Marie Antoinette costume this year;) A bit different than everything I've seen so far. Reminds me a bit of the Mexican Day Of The Dead masks.. Mysterious and beautiful...

Heidi Klum as a cat, lovely makeup that I'd like to copy! Puuuurrrrrfect for next year;)

I think this could be an awsome zombie makeup if added some gory effects to it! It could be so beautiful and terrifying;) Brrrrrr!! Goosebumps!
