Halloween: Katy Perry

Hey Guys!!!! This year for Halloween I decided to be none other than...... KATY PERRY!!! :)
I have been planning this for like 2 months.. I really wanted to make a dress out of candy and somehow recreate the candy dress from her video California Gurls.

This is what I came up with: ohh btw got a new camera over the weekend YAY!!!!


After looking at countless you tube videos and pricing for a replica (which usually ranged $200) I reconstructed a tutu from Salvation Army. The tutu was a lot longer and it does have a leotard attached, then for the ice cream cone, I used styrafoam cones, a half of a small wicker basket for the cupcake and lots of hot glue, beads, sequins,real candy (gummy bears, sweet tarts, gobstoppers) Pom Poms, Elmer's glue to cover candy, and a white skirt also from Salvation Army and since I am terrible at sewing, my grandma helped with the strips of fabric sewn to the skirt.

I went through 3 potential wigs and found this purple one, to create the headband we took a pre existing headband, cut a heart shape out of a sheet of purple foam covered it in purple cotton?

I also wore white tights and blue shiny flats with cupcake socks :)

Now on to the makeup:

now in an earlier post I already did this tutorial but I have to admit I was not happy with the outcome.. With a chance to redeem myself here's the new tutorial.



Here's my look:

Here's what I used:

EYES

• Base-NYX JP in Purple
• Lid- 120- pink-purple, with LA Splash glitter liner in Fuschia Fusion, then I used sparkles from the icing (lavender) and then covered the color with the lighter purple (whatever best matches)
  
• Crease- 120- dark purple
• Highlight- Ulta Iceland
• Liner-NYX Skinny Marker on top, on the lower lash I used NYX JP in Purple and then the dark purple on top. in the inner corner of the eye, I used Archetype Minerals in Lisa's Busted Camaro.
• Lashes- NYX lashes
• Mascara- They're Real!

CHEEKS

• Foundation- True Match
• Blush- Happy Mood Boosting in Rose
• Bronze- PF light-med

LIPS

Halloween: Owl

During Halloween time I try to do as many fun looks that I can, I went to Spooky Trails over the weekend where we did a corn maze and a haunted house.. I decided to make myself up like an owl.. lol but in the same way it kinda looks like a fox sometimes.. haha but the general idea was an owl.


Here's my look:


This is what I used:

I first started out using an angled brush dipped with NYX jumbo pencil in Milk and I just made little strokes, cause you want that feathered kind of look. then layer on top that with a light-med brown.. I choose a red/bronze color from my Day to Play palette, then once you get to the eye area I used NYX Jumbo Pencil in Dark Brown and covered the rest of the under eye in 120 palette (taupe). To create the eye brow feathers and the nose, I used NYX Skinny Marker (black) and the eyes I used 120 palette (taupe) and (med brown) underneath I used Jordana Liner in Lavish Brown and NYX JP in Dark Brown and kinda smoked the bottom out, using NYX JP Yellow in the water line

In my natural habitat... :)
