Since Halloween is coming up i have been inspired to create some looks for Halloween. The first look i did was a skinless eye look. Then I also did a zombie and a demoness look. I wanted to create looks where people didn't have to go out and by a costume set. These can really get expensive and only get used once. With these looks I did purchase contacts which can get a little spendy but i bought a set that i could use for more then one look. I already had wigs and woochies (easy-to-use latex appliances) from previous Halloween costumes.
For the first look, skinless eye look, I used only liquid Latex and scar wax. These can be purchase at any Halloween store. Both are pretty inexpensive. The first thing i did was put on one contact which was a misty gray color. I thought that this just added to the look of my eye being skinless. I took wax and added texture around one of my eyes. I then coated the wax with latex and then once the latex dried i pulled some of the latex off to make it look like the skin was pulled off. Once i got the look i wanted, i covered the area with foundation. After i got the area covered well, I set it with some translucent powder. To create more dimension, I took a black eye shadow and went around the eye. After this i took some blood gel and colored in the circle. To create a fresh looking wound i took FX blood and just coated the area where i put the blood gel.
For my next look I did a Zombie. I really wanted to do a zombie look because i am such a big fan of walking dead. I cant wait for that show to come back on and in the mean time i thought it would be fun to make myself into a zombie. I do have to say that this look was so much fun to create. For this look I use one misty gray contact in one of my eyes. I then took my oozing wound whoochie and put spirit gum on the edges. I then place them on my face where i desired once the spirit gum was tacky. To make the whoochie look real, I took liquid latex and went all around the whoochie so it would blended well into my skin. Once the latex dried i then twist and pulled a little of the latex, this will create texture and make it look like the skin is peeling off. I also did this to the area of my face where i wanted it to look like the skin was rotting off. Then I took a liquid foundation that was a few shade lighter then my skin and applied this all over my face. Zombies are the living dead so to create this i added a cream color in grey and stippled this all over my face. Using a FX sponge i took green, yellow,and a brownish red cream color and added it around my face, being careful not to blend the colors to much because this will make the foundation look muddy. The next step i did was set my whole face with translucent powder. To make the wounds look more realistic i added a bruise color on the whoochie's and then added blood gel + FX blood all over the wound. Now i took the same bruise color and went around my eyes to make it look like i had deep bags. Then taking a black eyeshadow i went over the bruise color and just added more depth to make the eyes look really sunken in. For the finishing touch, i teased my hair all over to create hair that
looked really messy.
For the next look i wanted to do a she devil but as i was applying the horns and thought about the makeup, it just some how look more like a demoness then a she devil. This look out of the 3 is my favorite. I am really thinking about doing this look for Halloween. I love how the makeup looked in this look and i know when i go to a Halloween party no one would have the same look as me. The first this i needed was a set of White Out contacts. I just knew that this would make the look ten times better. After the contacts where on, I took some scar wax and made some horns for my forehead and cheeks. I look liquid latex to adhere the horns on the my face. Once the horns were on i took more liquid latex and cover the horns, i found that the wax was really sticky and the latex helped it be more touchable. After the latex dried i covered my whole face with a pale foundation and also set it with a translucent powder. Next i took my Make Up For Ever flash pallet in red and black and went all over my lids and up toward my hair line. I then took black eyeliner and went around the eyes. Then taking the black from my flash pallet again, i created some strong brows. Once i got the shape i wanted i set it with black eyeshadow. To make the eyes pop even more, i added a little red glitter to the eye lids and also added full false lashes. Now to contour my face i use the same red and black from the MUF flash pallet and stippled that on the hollows of my cheeks. Taking a red lip liner, i lined my lips and filled them in. Then i took my favorite red lipstick and gloss and added to the lips. I found that the lips weren't dark enough for the look so i lined the lips with black liner. For the finishing touches, I added the bruise cream color from before and out in around the horns so it look more like it was coming out of the skin instead of just sticking out of it. I also added a black wig i had laying around the garage and a cape from a old vampire costumes i had.
All three looks.
Hope this inspires some of you to create your own looks with things you already have or just spend a little less for Halloween. Be creative and just have fun with it.
Thanks for taking the time to read my blog!!
