Once you have applied your foundation set it with a really pale powder or translucent if you have one as this won't change the colour of your face. Now you are ready to rock and roll!
The First step.
In this step we're going to do exactly the same as we would when we contour our cheekbones! The only difference is we won't be using a brown we will be using a black powder! To do this you can use a black eye shadow it works in just the same way (Sleek MakeUp - i-Divine Bad girl eyeshadow palette) !
Because we are using a black start very lightly because remember its easier to build colour then it is to take it away! Use the brush in a small circular movement so it won't be a harsh line on your face. At first it will look like side burns but don't panic when everything is done it will look very effective!
The Second Step.
The second step we're going to be doing is basically the same thing, see i told you nice and easy! Using the same eye shadow you are now going to shadow and enhance above your collarbones and the central dip of your throat. Use a darker shade of the eye shadow at the sides and base then gradually fade it away as you go up this can all be as dark or as light as you feel necessary!
The Third Step.
Now we're going to move on to the face starting with the eye brows. For this i used a liquid eye liner (Max Factor - Liquid eye liner) and some good old black face paint (Snazaroo - Black face and body paint) . Firstly with your liquid eyeliner (you can use a eyebrow/liner in black if you feel more comfortable) draw around your eye brow the shape that you want to create. TOP TIP: Because we are creating a halloween look i would go for a very high arched thick eye brow as this will make it look much more drastic and evil.
Once you are happy with your shape go ahead and fill it in with your face paint! Yes you will be looking a bit ridiculous right now but don't worry it will all come together soon, i promise!
The Fourth Step.
Time for the eye shadow! We wont to make this drastic and dark so don't be scared on apply the black! Firstly what you want to do with an angled brush (The body shop - Slanted brush) and black eye shadow (Sleek MakeUp - i-Divine bad girl eyeshadow palette) draw a line from just under where your eye ends all the way to the top leaving a little space before the eyebrow. It should look like this,
Then using the same black start to work from that line to the middle on your eye socket, put the black eyeshadow down then use a blending brush to blend it through (MAC - Blending brush) . Don't worry if its looking messy at this point you'll be able to neaten it up.
Once you've got half way with the black like this, do the same with blending technique but with a dark purple on the other side (same palette, colour - Twilight)when you meet in the middle start blending together, once you've done this, with your black eyeshadow run it heavily along your lower lid to add more depth. Remember don't be scared to keep adding colour it needs to be dark, its halloween!
Once your happy add a small amount of mascara just to darken the lashes (MAC - studio sculpt mascara). I only say a small amount because we will be adding fake lashes!
The Fifth Step.
Now the lashes! One of the most common dreaded parts! Because its halloween remember the bigger the lashes the better so go all out (Lashes - katy perry banging beauty)! To make this easier for you put the glue on the lashes and let it dry a little bit, this means the glue will go tacky and attach to your eyes much quicker! Then holding your lashes with tweezers (Bourjois - 2 in 1 false lash tweezers) put them on your lash line and hold them there for 30 seconds when you take away your tweezers they should be stuck, much easier!
To Complete Your Look.
Add some black lipstick to bring this look together.
Using the same materials you used for your eye brows you can complete your look by adding some spiders webs around your face, take your pick of where and become creative!
Lastly give your hair a gold old backcomb, really go for it you may as well halloween only happens once a year!
Now with this really easy halloween look you can go out and impress all of your friends this year, give it a go!
