Step by Step...

Eyes..

• Apply the Limecrime Eyeshadow Helper to both lids patting and smoothing gently onto the eyelid.

• Take your Sleek eyeshadow palette and first of all apply the Cream Soda shade to the whole of the lid using a shadow brush. Building up the intensity on the lid gradually. You can take this shade up under the brow also.

• Next take the Liquorice shade using a pointed blender or liner brush apply the shadow starting just above the Cream Soda shade you have just applied, apply the shade contour the white shade in a banana shape. Next take a blending brush and blend around the lid forming a banana type shape as you blend. Keep building up this intensity until the right amount of black intensity has taken shape.

• You may want to apply some more Cream Soda shadow at this point to the lid.

• Next take your gel eyeliner and using a fine eyeliner brush paint follow the eye shape and leave a small flick at the end of the eye. You can make this line slightly thicker at the corner of the eye.

• Using the kohl black pencil, use this to blacken the waterline.

• Curl the lashes and use a mascara top and bottom.

• Next you can apply your false lashes.

• Take a few drops of the Illamasqua sealing gel and your Barry M Red Dazzle Dust, mix together on the back of your hand to a good consistency and go over the gel liner you applied to the upper lid with a liner brush. Next bring it down to run under the eyelid.

• For the brows, using the Illamasqua sealing gel and Sleek Liquorice eyeshadow mix together with your angled brush and apply following a nice arch shape to the brow

• To neaten up, you could use a black eyebrow pencil to give a nice arch shape.

• I used the Barry M red dazzle dust for the first part of the brow using a angled brush again and blended in slightly to the black colour.

Base..

• You may have to clean up a little under the eyes with wipes if any fall out of shadow. Do this before applying the foundation
• Making sure the skin is cleansed and moisturised, apply a face primer to the skin.
• Using a Real Techniques Buffing Brush, apply the Illamasqua Skin Base foundation lightly to the skin blending outwards.
• A under eye concealer will need to be used under the eye just to cover any imperfections
• Use a finishing or translucent powder to finish the skin and set.

Fun Bit..

• Next apply the fake blood using a brush apply under the eyes, same as the picture above and then using the tube dribble the rest down the cheeks.

Lips..

• Take your MAC Smolder black kohl pencil, line the lips and slightly shade the lips.
• Next take the Revlon Black Cherry lipstick and lip brush apply to the lips. The two colour will mix slightly together and will give a darker lipped look.

You could obviously experiment with other colours or glitters with this look. It is very versatile or place the blood to the corner of the lips instead of running down the cheeks!

Here is another look I created using the Snazaroo face paints from Hobbycraft.

Have fun experimenting & Happy Halloween!!
