All Hallows Eve


Look 1: Grungy Vampire



Look 2: Classic Cat




Look 3: Wednesday Addams



I always loved dressing up for Halloween when I was younger, and that has obviously not changed. I wanted to do a quick tutorial for a few easy costumes because I have definitely been in the position where I am scrambling for a costume last minute, so I hope these will help.


Look 1: The vampire is always a go-to costume for me, just because of how easy it is and the variety you can add to the costume. So many movies lately have been about vampires, so it makes the costume easy to change-up and make a little more modern. I drew inspiration for this look from The Vampire Diaries with a tousled hair look, and fake fang teeth (I got a pack of 8 for a $1 at Target!). On my lips I'm wearing MAC's "Rebel," and made sure to blot it slightly to give it a more berry red look than deep purple. On my eyes, I smudged NARS Larger Than Life Long-Wear eyeliner in "Via Appia." This gives the eyes the more grungy look.

Look 2: The cat has always been to favorite costume of mine, especially when I was little. To make this look, I got ears that came in a pack with a tail, and a slightly scarily-real mask (Also both from Target). On my lips is MAC's "Rebel," but with no blotting to achieve the deep purple. I finished it off with a dramatic winged eyeliner, where I used Stila's Stay All Day Waterproof liquid eyeliner in "Intense Black."

Look 3: For my final look, I had to go with Wednesday Addams. She practically embodies Halloween with her eerie attitude and cool stare. For her classic braids, I used Goody ouch less elastics for my hairstyle. To achieve her intense stare I used Makeup Forever's Aqua Eyes waterproof eyeliner in "Matte Black." On my lips I used MAC's "Pure Zen" for a nude peach color to bring attention to my eyes.

Also as a bonus here is me on my second Halloween in none other than a cat costume. Typical.



Thanks for reading, and Happy Halloween!
