Halloween Makeup : Candy Corn (Remake)

Last year I made this candy corn look for Halloween. At the time I was quite happy with the way it turned out, but seeing as I have gotten a little better over the year and since it's such a fun look to create in my opinion, I thought I would try to do it again, this time a little differently!

If you have read last year's post, you know that I have never tasted candy corn! I still have yet to taste it since I have never seen any sold anywhere near me. If anyone from Quebec City knows where I could find it, please let me know! I would love to try them :)

Anyway here is how the Candy Corn look turned out! I love the combination of yellow, orange and white with the crisp black cut crease.

Oh and this year I actually looked at the colors on the candy properly and discovered that the orange is placed between the yellow and white and not at the end. So I made it to look more like the real thing :D

Tell me what you think! Which version do you prefer? This year's or last year's? What Halloween looks would you like to see?

Halloween makeup : Wood Fairy/Elf

Sadly, this might be the last Halloween themed post I get to do this year!

I have an exam coming up in two weeks and I've got to study hard starting now (actually I have started a while ago and I'm almost halfway done), because next week I'm going to Montreal for the reading week. I haven't seen my friends and family for almost two months and I'm super excited to go! Coincidentally, I have a one day internship (is that what you call them?) at the hospital in my neighborhood for school during the time I will be there so it will be a busy week, which means I probably won't have time to study for the exam that I have right when we come back. Anyway, that's why I probably won't have time to make anything else before Halloween!

I came up with this shimmery gold, green and brown look which would be nice for a wood elf or fairy costume or anything like that. It's inspired by the forest, the trees, the leaves, but also by the magic of fairies and the wisdom of elves. I used brown pencil liner to draw the branches and green glittery liner for the leaves. The dark red lips were just for fun, not sure if it's the best pairing I could have chosen, but I think it's a nice contrast to all the green of the eyes!

I had a lot of fun with this look :) and I hope you like it! Tell me what you think in the comments.

Halloween makeup : Tormented Vampire Eyes

This look could probably be used for other costumers than vampires, but the initial idea was to make it look vampire-ish.  It could probably also be a nice fall look if you went easier on the red and underneath the eyes. I exaggerated the purple color under the eyes to make it look bruised and tired.

I used red, purple and black eye shadow for this look. I would have done a whole vampire face, but I don't have the teeth and blood to make it look realistic, so I just did the eyes!

Here is what I came up with :)

Would you use this kind of makeup for a vampire costume? Let me know in the comments!

Halloween eyes : Burnt Pumpkin smokey look

I wanted to play a little bit with orange and black since it's Halloween's most well known colors. I decided on a smokey orange look that is colorful, but not over the top! You could wear this to a Halloween party if you are not going costumed or a dinner or something :)

Tell me what you think!

Sorry for the tired look, I had a long week :P

Halloween eyes : Sweet Candy Corn

Here is a Halloween makeup inspired by candy corn! Believe it or not, I've never had it! It's not very popular around where I live, I've never even seen them sold. Apparently they're very good though and the colors are very eye catching so I decided to reproduce it on my lids :P

For anyone like me who never had it, this is what it looks like:

And this is what I came up with, not exactly in the same order, but close enough :P

I used the BH 120 palette 1st edition over Nyx Jumbo Eye pencil in milk, liquid black liner and mascara, and black on the waterline :)

Might be back with more Halloween/fall looks soon! I just got a big test recently and I have been studying like mad, but now I have a little (and that really means only a little, I gotta start studying for another test all over again in like 2 days) time so I might make more!

Tell me what you would like to see :D

Halloween nails : Ghastly Mani

I made these super easy and quick nails today! They are adorable and anyone can make them! I wore them to school today :)

I wish I was better at cleaning the edges, it would look so much more crisp

If you can read french, you can notice I took the pictures in front of my lab worksheets which are about suppositories XD oops

All I used is :

- White polish
- Black polish
- The back of two different size brushes (for the eyes and mouth)
- Needle (for the white white dot in the eyes)
-Top Coat

Do you like spooky themed nails? Any suggestions for more themed nail art? Let me know!

Halloween Nails : bloody tips

I've been on an Halloween kick lately! I made these nails inspired by the occasion.

It's really easy to do with any thin paint brush and a fun way to celebrate the spooky holiday :)

Any other ideas for me Halloween nail art? Tell me!

Halloween Makeup : Spider Web

This i my first attempt at Halloween makeup! I'm not a fan of anything gore looking, so I went with something that isn't too scary to look at a spider web eye! I wouldn't say it turned out exactly how I wanted it to (my drawing skills with a liquid liner definitely aren't there yet), but it's still fine for a first try I think :P

Anyway, I did a shimmery white lid, with a black cut crease and a spiderweb extending from the eyeliner into the hairline. I added, of course, tons of mascara to create spider lashes (pun intended :D), because it is definitely fitting with this look!

Tell me what you think, should I try some more Halloween looks?
