From Pinterest to Real Life: Halloween Makeup-3 Easy Looks

by Ashley Stallings on October 6th, 2014 | No Comments »

October is here and you know what that means...HALLOWEEN! Today I am taking 3 looks from your best friend and mine - Pinterest (how did we ever live without it) - and trying them out in real life! From animals to scarecrows, these Halloween makeup interpretations are so easy that even I can do them! Which is saying a lot since I am not the steadiest hand and artistic makeup is definitely not my forte.

So, if you are looking for a simple, yet fun Halloween makeup look may I present- From Pinterest to Real Life: Halloween Makeup-3 Easy Looks!

LOOK #1: Cat Makeup for Halloween

This look is one you can totally do with makeup you have in your makeup bag! The easiest of the 3, all you need is black eyeliner and your favorite shade of lipstick. Mine just happens to be Lustering by M.A.C. Then for a little extra punch I styled my hair to represent a faux cat ear, if you will, to complete the look. To all my un-makeup-y friends-first high fives, and second this look was so super easy to do it will definitely be a go to for years to come!

Look #2: ScareCrow Makeup for Halloween

Ok, so I have to admit that I struggled a little with the makeup under the eyes...but I totally think you get the same effect! Once again all I used was eyeliner for this look. A black, orange and white eyeliner and you are all set! So for a total of like $3 you can create this look. And since I don't have a handy dandy straw hat I decided to just go with some wild & crazy hair instead!

Look #3: Fawn Face Halloween Makeup

So if we are being completely honest of the 3 this is my biggest fail....BUT it is still a win in my book because, come on, this is totally not my strength! Really the under eye makeup was the hardest. Getting a 99 cent eyeliner to be super precise is tough I'll tell ya! So maybe next time I would use a wet eyeliner instead? Other than that I used Bronzer to get that fawny glow, white eyeliner, and a Stilla lipgloss to finish out the look. I think with a little more practice this may just be the winner!

Do you dress up for Halloween? What mom costumes are on your radar this year?
