I know halloween was two days ago now but I've been super busy these last few days which is why I'm only doing a halloween post now. There's not much to say for the actual night of halloween this year, I was really boring and I didn't do much. Sat In eating candy and answering the door to young trick or treaters. On the bright side I saw a lot of good costumes that I can take inspiration from for next year. Although I did have fun making my little sisters look scary and decorating the house. I have two sisters who are the age of 9 and another who is 6. The two older ones wanted to go as "dead school girls" so I worked with this to make them look scary but not too grown up. The youngest went as a dead pirate but wanted the same makeup as her older sisters. Me on the other hand was boring. I just had blood dripping from my mouth with the smokey eye effect. Black dress and boots.
Costumes
Makeup
The dead school girl look is really easy to create. For the face all you need is a range of eyeshadow, I just used the colours I already had in my makeup bag, blacks and browns mainly, there the main colours you need to create that eye effect. Then I used the bourjois colour boost crayon in the colour plum Russian just to give their lips that extra touch. The colour of this is actually gorgeous, it gives your lips a really sort of glossy finish aswell which is good. Also because there young I didn't want to cake makeup on their skin so I just gave their cheeks a little blush and bronze too. But you can really do whatever you want with your makeup, a different lip colour whatever. I'm just letting you know what I used.
Outfit
This ones super easy. All you need is some old school clothes that can get dirty and ripped. Because the more blood the better. I actually didn't buy any fake blood because I was too late, by the time I went to the shops they had sold out of all halloween stuff. I probably shouldn't have left it to the same day but anyway there's always a back up plan. All you need is some red food colouring mixed with
some icing suagar, do it's basically like making icing to put on top of a cake. You obviously don't want it too runny but not too thick, so just even it out a little. Once you've caked your clothes and face in blood you can start to cut and rip your clothes to make you look a little more tatty and scary. You can do this before or after it doesn't really matter. So that's the costume and makeup done for halloween.
Tradition
It's a halloween tradition to carve pumpkins isn't it? It certainly is in my house. we are pumpkin mad. Pumpkins only really come into our shops for halloween so I think it doesn't really feel like halloween if you dont have a lit pumpkin on your doorstep.
Favourite candy
My favourite candy is Reece's peanut butter cups. Not just for halloween but all year round. I
absolutely love these and can't get enough of them. There actually American chocolates I think, but we now have them in our u.k stores. And I quite frankly can't get enough. They actually had a halloween one this year and I got so excited.
I would also like to know what you went as for halloween and of course, your favourite candy. Comment below, I would love to read them.
Love, chanel
