Halloween comes around every year, and every year there is some Halloween party you been invited to. And as usual you are not even sure you want to go, why? Because you never seem to be able to create the right look to go along with the Halloween costume you just spend money on. Most men really dig going looking as grossed out as possible and some years you are cool about it but what if this year that just isn’t your thing? What if you want to really be that sexy playboy bunny or Marilyn Monroe, evil genie, a fairy or something like that? And you are just not sure how to do your Halloween makeup? You just don’t want to go one more year wearing ripped up clothes, and dirty things.
This year you are going to be wearing a costume that is going to turn you into a knockout! Making every man in the room wish they were your date! Now you know if you buy the wig, shoes and more its going to cost you almost $100.00 plus costume! Do you want your Halloween makeup to reflect you normal everyday makeup or do you to really look like a playboy bunny, or farm maid, sexy cop? They show all the amazing Halloween makeup looks on the packaging, how do you feel about creating one like that?
Besides one of the reasons we dress up for Halloween is to truly be someone we would never be in real life. Temptress’s of the night anyone?
The style of Halloween makeup you will need to do is going to be a bit harder to do because you need more but not looking like you went at it with a paint brush.
You never know who you might be meeting at all those Costume parties, Costume Contests, Masquerade balls, Themed Night Clubs that we as grownups love to be at on Halloween right? A lot of these parties happen all year around, but Halloween just seems to bring more grownups out to play. Why not go looking like Super girl this year?
Some Halloween makeup ideas are going to take a lot of different colors to make the whole look come together. What’s different about going glam instead of ghoul is the style of course of the makeup and what you do to create it.
After you have pick out the costume you want to wear this year its time to decide how to do your makeup. Don’t bother going out and buying more makeup, you wear makeup everyday anyway right? Why buy makeup that is geared and created just for Halloween? Unless you really dig black nail polish, most makeup colors you will need you already have. This is you we are talking about, use what you know works with you, not some cheap stuff you are not even sure who makes it, just use yours.
Have you checked out the makeup they offer at the local Halloween Store? Are they nuts? Its grease paint at best, sure its only a few dollars but can it be used for creating the Genie you want to be? Probably not. That makeup you find there is good for kids not good for the looks you are going for. You really need a Halloween makeup DVD to walk you through the best ways to use your makeup to create the most stunning looks you see on the packages when you view the costumes. Some of those looks such as Marilyn Monroe, Evil Genie, Playboy Bunny really need a step by step video you can watch to make it work correctly. If I were you I would be looking into getting the Halloween Makeup DVD Collection Vol. 1 with 13 Hot looks you can create. Wow its so worth the money! I even heard that if you buy 3 mineral eye shadows you might even get the Halloween Makeup DVD for free! Check out Overallbeauty.com for details.
Take a good look at your face and decide which your best feature is and as always work with it. For our example, we are going to use farm maid. All of these ideas and tips can be found on a DVD called Halloween Makeup Collection Vol. One with more information on the how’s to step by step.
For a farm maid, or cowgirl you are going to want simple, but it still needs to be seen. So more makeup than usual will be needed but tasteful done.
Start off with your best feature you are going to want to play up, and we are going to use eyes as our example.
A farm maid is going to have a simple innocent look such as doe eyes. As virgin as the day you were born. It’s not the easiest look to pull off but if you really think about what your makeup needs to be and you will need to plan out because you want it to last all night no matter what.
Start off with your makeup primer, or foundation all over your eyelid. A cream eye shadow will work just as well if you have one, only make sure it’s a nude color. This is to keep your makeup in place. Next you will need a all over color and for this look pick something really light such as a cream or white.
Smudge your base color on the lid, blending up and out towards the brow till it pretty much just fades away. A nice gray or soft brown will would work well for this.
Next you need to intensify that color with a darker color by adding it to the crease of the following the natural curve of the socket. Lighten under the brow line and use a round makeup brush to smudge it the two colors together starting from the outside in.
Go easy on your eyeliner and do wear mascara. If you look younger than you are, your eyes will be just right for this look. Just make sure that your black magic mascara doesn’t get all over under your eyes, it will take away from this look. No smoky eyes here! You need to look young and innocent so stay simple with what you are wearing as well. Pretty doe eyes, looking like you just came back from milking the cows, in Daisy Duke short shorts. That will drive them wild at the next party you go to!
Don’t forget your blush so use a pretty baby pink and place it on the apple of your cheeks for your farm maid or cowgirl look.
This is the Halloween you need to set away from looking like you are going to be playing with dead people all night and walk out into the spotlight looking totally hot! Make the guys wish you were their date, and they came as James Bond 007 instead of the walking dead. Anyone can be a ghoul but only those with the true know-how of how glamorous makeup is done can pull off the more beautiful looks. This year let it be you! Have fun this Halloween, and watch out for all those ghouls!
