Yesterday my good friend Virginia invited me and my sister to her Halloween Party It was nice to get dressed up and be a skeleton for a while. The whole night we got stared at especially on public transport. People are going to talk might as well give them something to talk about!!! (is what I say, why not it's Halloween). We met some friendly people on our journey who were genuinely impressed with our face make up but it seems in England not many people celebrate Halloween. On our travels we saw another lady who had painted her face as the sugar skull it was nice to know we weren't the only ones. The party was great, I love how Virginia decorated her home. She's very creative and I hope when I have a home of my own one day, I would like to do the same.

Let's begin ...
1. I used my real techniques crease brush to apply the white face paint I purchased from Sainsbury.
2. You will need to apply two to three layers. I then used my beauty blender to blend the white paint, to get rid of the harsh brush strokes.
3. Then with the real techniques detail brush I used that with black face paint to draw a circle around my eye, starting from my eyebrow.
4. Start to paint that area all black, be careful not to get it in your eye. To make the black more darker, I used a black eye shadow from my Urban Decay Smoked eyeshadow Palette.
5. Then to create depth to the look, draw two curved lines going in the opposite direction where your eyebrow is then blend that in using your beauty blender.
6. we're nearly done... draw a small 'u' shape on the middle of your nose. Then draw two lines from either side of your nose like your drawing a triangle.Then just follow the shape of your nose and paint it all black.
7. Suck in your cheeks as you would if applying bronzer. Same technique here but instead of appyling bronzer you are drawing a line with black face paint. Do this on either side of your face.
8. The best way I can describe it is draw an upside down heart from the line you have already drawn. Then paint in all black.
9. Draw a line from the corner of your mouth outwards and then draw lines going down.
10. For the lips, don't paint them white unless that's what you want. I outlined my lip with a lip pencil from Mac called current and filled my lips with that colour. Then I used Rihanna Viva Glam 2 in Frost ontop of the lip liner to create that deep dark purple.
And you're all set for Halloween!!! I hope you have a spooky one!!!
