Halloween: part 1

So, typically I'm a girl who LOVES a good lipstick. A bit of Twig by Mac or any velour liquid lip by Jeffree Star is a must-have, but I guess when halloween creeps around the corner (literally), you have to get creative. Goodbye luscious lips and hello crooked skeleton teeth. Yum. 

Here is my first attempt at a half skeleton mouth for Halloween; yes I'm completely aware that it is only the 16th of October and Halloween is still over a week away but when I bought these black and white face paints off Amazon (https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B002ROGI2Q/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and they arrive at my door (thank you student next-day delivery) I just couldn't help myself. My inner skeleton needed to be awakened...(if that's possible).

I followed Roxxsaurus' half skull make up tutorial on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pNHqA6pGTKI&t=307s) to achieve this halloween look as a first attempt before the night arrives. My actual halloween look with air much nearer to the time (I promise) which should feature this half skull look to actually make me look half scary this year. 

It was quite easy to follow and with small make up brushes, the tutorial makes for a good guide for face-paint novices like me *you will have to keep pausing her though, she's a little to quick for my snail-pace*. 

I hope this provides you with some VERY early inspiration for your Halloween looks and will get you nearly as excited as me for one of all makeup lover's fave nights of the year (just wait for all the YouTuber's and Instagrammer's posts to flood your newsfeed- mark my words).
