So I was looking on youtube for inspiration 2 weeks before this event. I love playing around with makeup and trying out different looks. That's why I'm always excited for events like these where I can go crazy-wild wild makeup :D Yey!!
I actually went with the first look I tried out the evening, because I was quite happy the way it turned out to be honest. I didn't expect it to work out that well so I was very happy :)
The image that inspired me for this particular look was this one:
The only thing that made me doubt this look a little was that I had to sit with the thick layer of makeup on my face for at least 11 hours, and after a while my face starts to itch when I'm wearing that much. But I decided around 7pm to just start with the makeup, and if I didn't like it or wouldn't think it would last for the many hours of sitting and watching horror movies, I can always take it off and have enough time for something a bit more simple. | Image from google |
I finished the look a bit before 9 and I was very happy with how it turned out, especially for a first go with this particular look. So I decided to leave it and just go with it.
I finished the makeup by also adding the bones and shading to the neck, like the original picture, and created a big bun with one of the larger donuts you can buy in a drugstore and pinned a white flower at the side, which you can sort of see in the picture below:
Yes we were goofing off during the first break :D This was around 2:30am and we were going strong!
After the Halloween Horror Show I finally got home around 11am. I have to say that I was surprised at how good the makeup still looked after 14 hours! It did fade a bit and get very shiny, which doesn't show in the picture, but trust me I was almost functioning as a mirror to others! If I want to wear this look more often I'll probably invest in one of those clear matting powders.
It was a fun night and I can't wait until next time!!
