Hello! I'm so excited to be writing my first Halloween post. There are a few more on the way including a spooky hot chocolate recipe and some more makeup looks which I'm equally as excited about.
This is such an effective look and is so easy to do. I found this look on pinterest and couldn't resist having a go myself. There were no step by step instructions that I could find so this is my attempt at recreating the look and the following steps are how I did it. I'm not really sure what you would call this look but It's super easy and you could do so many different adaptations of this. I used some black cream face make up from a local fancy dress store. You can find these in most supermarkets too and if not, you could try using a black eyeliner.
1. Fill the entire lid with black eye shadow and smudge out
2. Apply black eyeliner to the lash line
3. Fill in the eyebrow with black eye shadow creating a sharp dramatic brow
4. Make 4 dots in a diamond shape around your eye to outline the furthest points where you want your black lines to reach. This will be your guide.
5. From your eye draw lines outwards in any direction. You can do long or short strokes in any direction.
6. Now add lines going across, making sure to join up around the eye
7. Keep adding lines until you are happy with the result.
8. Add lots of mascara, or fake eyelashes if you wish.
9. Apply a lip liner and a lipstick of your choice to finish the make up look
That's it! Really simple and can be adapted easily to suit your look. I think it would be good for someone who doesn't want to spend a lot of money dressing up and wants to do something fairly subtle. Hope you enjoyed this! I had so much fun creating this look.
Let me know what you think in the comments below and what you are planning to do for Halloween!
