Halloween Tutorial: Quick Cat Makeup

Today I am sharing with you a very quick tutorial for Halloween. This would be perfect if you don't have much time to get ready or you have left it too late to plan your costume. This makeup tutorial is very quick and easy to do. I think a cat is the easiest thing to go as for Halloween as you can get away with just wearing a black dress so all you really need to buy are cat ears and you can get them quite cheap. 

I kept may base very light and just used concealer and powder but if you wanted to you could use a foundation. I chose to use the Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer as it offers a higher coverage than other concealers and I didn't want to wear a foundation so this is the perfect concealer to go for. I wanted to set my concealer in place and hopefully make it last longer so I chose to use the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder this is a great powder for keeping your makeup in place especially if you have oily skin. I used the Natural Collection Blush in Pink Cloud to add a touch of pink to my cheeks. 

I wanted to keep my eye makeup quite simple as I did a winged eyeliner so I didn't wear any eyeshadow as I felt it might be too overpowering. I used the Revlon Colourstay Liquid Eye Pen to do my winged eyeliner. This is a good eyeliner as it has a firm nib so you can get quite a precise line with it. For the whiskers I used a pencil from Bellapierre which was good for drawing the whiskers on but I would not use it as an eyeliner as it is quite hard and I prefer pencils that are a bit softer if I am going to be using them on my eyes. I used the Revlon eyeliner for my nose as it was easier to colour in the area with a liquid liner rather than a pencil. For my mascara I used the Rimmel Scandaleyes Retro Glam Mascara which gave some serious volume to my lashes. Lastly for brows I used the MUA Pro- Brow Kit as I wanted a more fuller brow than my normal everyday brows and I find powder is better for fuller looking brows. 

For lips I used the Revlon Lip Butter in Candy Apple, I really like the formula of the lip butters as they are sheer but still offers plenty of colour. I am not a fan of really bold reds on my lips but I find the lip butters are perfect as they are much more wearable.

Halloween Tutorial: Maleficent

Today I thought I would share with you a Halloween Makeup Tutorial. I am going to do a few of these in the weeks up to Halloween. I love dressing up for Halloween but most of the time I don't have anywhere to go but if you do have somewhere to go I have a few ideas to help you out. 

I thought I would do a Maleficent makeup inspired look as I wanted to do one when the film came out but I never got around to it so I thought Halloween would be a good excuse to do it. 

In the film Maleficent has golden tones on her eyelids and bright red lips. She also has heavily contoured cheekbones, I personally don't feel that comfortable with lots of contouring so I have only done a little bit but you can do as much as you'd like.

Face

For my foundation I used the Maybelline Superstay Better Skin Foundation, I really like this foundation as it is a light to medium coverage and it looks really flawless on the skin. I then used my Maybelline Fit Me Concealer to cover any blemishes and dark circles. This is my favourite concealer as it doesn't look cakey on my skin. I used the Rimmel Stay Matte Powder because if you are going to a Halloween party you want to make sure your makeup stays put and I find that this powder is brilliant at keeping your foundation and concealer in place. I then use the bronzer from my Milani Sunset Duo in Sunset Beach which I really like as it's not too dark so doesn't look too much on my skin. Lastly I used the ELF Baked Blush in Pinktastic as a little bit of highlighter. 

Eyes and Brows

For eyes I started with the Maybelline Colour Tattoo in On and On Bronze as a base for my eyeshadow. I really like this eyeshadow as it looks really pretty by itself as well as a base for other eyeshadows. I then used my MUA Undress Me Too Palette which I rarely use as I prefer the Undressed palette however this has a lot more gold toned eyeshadows. I used a mixture of Devotion (shade 2) and Tranquil (shade 7) and patted it on top of On and On Bronze. I then used Dreamy (shade 6) in my crease and blended all the colours together. I then used Shy (shade 3) to highlight my browbone. Lastly I used a small amount of Devotion on a small brush to line my lower lashline. I then used my MUA Black Kohl Pencil to line my upper and lower waterline. I used the L'Oreal Volume Million Lashes Mascara for the first time and I really like it so far. I thought I'd switch it up for my eyebrows, I usually use the Avon Glimmerstick in Dark Brown but I thought you may be bored of seeing it so I thought I'd share another brow product. I don't usually use powder on my brows but if I want a stronger brow look then I will reach for powder. I used the MUA Pro- Brow Kit, I use a mixture of both the colours to fill in my brows. 

Lips

Maleficent wears a bold red colour and for my look I chose to use the ELF Lipstick in Fearless. I love the ELF lipsticks are they are so affordable and the quality is amazing. They have a great shade range as well so there is something for everyone. 

I hope you guys enjoyed this post. What are you going as for Halloween?
