I had mentioned on my instagram last week that I wanted to do 13 days of halloween this year but it didn’t happen. I should have started last Friday, the 19th, but I am just now posting looks. I actually sat down last Thursday night to film a look and it was just not working out for me so I gave up. That was my first mistake just giving up, but I decided that I would just take my time with 5 looks. This look I am really happy with, but looking back there is one thing I would have done different/add, but I think it still turned out pretty good. I did not come up with this myself, I went off a picture I saw on Pinterest so I will link it here for y’all.
What I like about this look is it’s pretty simple for anybody to do. All you really need is white face paint or a really light foundation, purple, green, and black eyeshadow, green hair spray, and that’s pretty much it! I actually used a very light foundation for my base and then I set it with a powder so the eyeshadows I used on top of the white would blend out better. After that you just add a bunch of shading around the hairline, the mouth, and the hollows of the cheeks. I also added some on my neck and a little on my chest as well. I used green and brown eyeshadows for the contouring and shading. I actually used one of the palettes from the Jaclyn Hill x Morphe vault collection because it was the perfect mossy green. You could use the Armed & Gorgeous palette or Dark Magic, they both have perfect greens for this look.
For the eyeshadow I just did a few different shades of purple and added black to the crease and a little on my lower lash line. That is the beauty of halloween makeup, you can be creative with it and use whatever you have at your disposal. You can also be messy with it, it doesn’t have to be perfect. The eyebrows you could do green or I ended up just doing black and just filled them in like I normally would. For the green gooey, mossy things on my face and neck, I used this stuff called zombie rot. That sounds so gross doesn't it, haha. It worked perfectly though. I got it from Halloween Express and Cinema Secrets is who makes it. It is just a powder substance and you mix it with warm water. You have to work with it pretty fast though because it drys quickly. Once it drys you can’t shape it. I learned that the hard way. That is why the one on my neck looks kind of weird, haha.
You can do a couple of different things for the hair. I just used some green hair spray, but you could do green clip-in hair pieces, or the easiest thing to do would be to get a wig. The spray is probably the cheapest but messiest. I actually did my hair before the makeup that way I didn’t mess up the makeup. The spray was very easy to get out, it washed right out with regular shampoo. I did wash it a couple times just to be safe because I had a bad experience with temporary hair color before.
That is all there is to it though! See how easy? If there is anything I didn’t go over or you need me to explain something better, definitely reach out to me by commenting here or you can always send me a message under the contact tab as well.
