Easy #Halloween Makeup #2 - Creepy Dead Girl

Yes, I couldn't think of anything particularly smooth to call this look. 

Soz for the insanely lame title. Like, I don't really know what this look even is, to be honest. It's just another way to wear fake blood, I guess. And your eyes wouldn't be bleeding like that if you were alive. And it's creepy & I'm a girl. Boom. 

And on that disasterous opening note.... Hello and welcome to my second easy Halloween Makeup look post. I'm no mua [by any stretch of the imagination] so if you like the look of any of the makeup styles in this lead up to Halloween series; it's a guarantee you'll be able to do them too. All most of them really need is a bit of eyeliner, and BOOSH; you've got yourself a costume. Keep your eyes peeled on the blog over the next few days too - I've bashed together quite a few easy makeup looks pre-Halloween to [hopefully] inspire you [or failing that, just make you laugh at how sh*t they are.] Details of any accessories used in this series of posts can be found here, in case you're interested, too.

Easy #Halloween Makeup #2 - Creepy Dead Girl

I never normally do particularly gruesome looks for Halloween; I'm really squeamish and would probably vom at the sight of myself. Today's look is probably as far as I'd go with fake blood - 1] because I'm a massive chicken and 2] because that sh*t STAINS your skin like there's no tomorrow. But anyway, here's a bloody, dead, corpse-y kinda look I bashed together for #HalloweenSixteen. It's proper easy to achieve and you don't need any special tools or SFX makeup to create this look - just your regular makeup collection and some fake blood.

I was quite impressed with how this turned out, truth be told. I put on my usual foundation and setting powder first, then applied white, shimmery highlighter (from Technic Cosmetics) all over my face. I contoured my nose, chin and cheek bones with some black shimmery Morphe eyeshadow and blended. Next, I used a mix of red and blue eyeshadow on my eyelids and crease to give my eyes a dead, sunken kinda look; before attacking with lots of black eyeliner, mascara and LashUnlimited falsies in their #9s. 

I have Mac Diva on my lips. For the blood under my eyes, I first outlined the trickles with black eyeliner, before colouring in the shape I created under each with a small makeup brush and a red eyeshadow. This acted as a base for the imminent attack of fake blood; to minimise its staining power on my skin. I then applied some of the Smiffys fake blood spray I had left over from last year, using a small makeup brush [an old one that I could throw away after using.] Taking this brush, I began dabbing it on to build a crusty, thick and textured look. And then indulged in about a million spooky selfies.
