Wicked Witch Halloween Makeup Tutorial ft. My Mum!

I am so excited for today's Halloween tutorial! Not only is it my first Halloween look this year, but I am excited because I am doing a wicked witch themed makeup look on my mum who is absolutely looking forward to being turned green!

I ordered a pack of three brushes, 2 high density sponges, 5 wax spatulas, spirit gum, special effects wax and four face paints in white, black, bright green and dark green.
 I am starting by using some of the scar wax to create a little bean-sized ball and then I am pressing it into the skin and this is going to be a witches wart which I am painting later.
 The first colour I am using is the Bright Green Face Paint and using a foundation brush to apply this all over the face.
 Once the first layer has dried, I am going back in with the same colour to increase the intensity of the green. I am using a smaller brush to get into the hard-to-reach areas such as the sides of the nose and moth and under the eyes. Keep the main eye area clear because we will be doing some eye makeup there later.
 The next colour I am using is Dark Green and I am using the foundation brush to 'contour' the cheekbones and hairline. This is a theatrical makeup look after all so I'm not too worried about making sure it is perfectly blended, but I am using a small flat brush to soften the distinction between the dark and bright green.
 Then I am moving onto the black face paint to fill in the brows and I am creating a long arched shape and then using little strokes between the brows to create a mono-brow effect.
 The palette I used for the makeup is the Makeup Revolution Give Them Nightmares Palette. I am fluffing 'Pretty Zombie' in the crease, then patting 'Darkness' all over the lid. Then I am blending the two shades together by buffing 'I am Watching You' in the crease.
 On the waterline, I am using a fineliner brush to line it with a gel liner, then using the light purple and black shade on the lower lash line.
 I finished by painting the warts black and dotted some white on them and then added some black lipstick.
 
What is your Halloween costume?

How To: Apply False Nails

Image
Hey guys Today I thought of doing a quick post today. Today I wanted to do a 'How To' post and this one is Applying False Nails. Even though it's easy, you need to do it properly so they look as natural as possible. And I'm going to tell you how I apply my false nails. You need: False Nails (you can get them cheap in supermarkets, makeup stores etc) Nail Glue (most nails come with glue, but you can buy glue at Superdrug for around £4 ( www.superdrug.co.uk ) Cuticle Pusher or cuticle stick Nail scissors (curved work best) Emery board 1) Begin by selecting the false nails that best fit your natural nail. It needs to be accurate because it will look more realistic. 2) Use a cuticle stick/pusher and gently push your cuticles back to avoid the nail sticking to it (which, will hurt if you take them off!!) If you want, you can cut the cuticles off. 3) Apply nail glue all over the natural nail. Be careful with the glue - it bonds in seconds, difficult to remove

MUA Cosmetics Review

Hey everyone Last week for my birthday, I went shopping and while I was in Superdrug and I  picked up some things from MUA (Makeup Academy). There are some products here I haven't tried, one product I have but not this particular name. I actually fell in love with this brand when it was a very small company when everything was £1! Then the company expanded which made me very happy and so I tried   these products and I have mixed reviews. The first product I am reviewing is the BB Cream. This is £4 in the MUA online store ( www.muastore.co.uk ) or in Superdrug ( www.superdrug.com ). I wanted a BB Cream because I find foundation is too heavy and is bad for your skin and I started to go off tinted moisturizer. Anyway, for the price in general is OK for the product. I bought Shade Medium last week and I think this is a bit too dark for me even though the medium and light shade are very similar. The BB Cream is easy to blend. For me, this is going to be mixed with something light
