I need to say it right away. I don't think anything could beat the excitement I had when I turned myself into an avatar for Halloween. I loved that film so much, for so many reasons which I won't go into right now and becoming a na'vi for a night is one of my most fun, exciting and memorable Halloween moments of all time. Any character you turn yourself into after feels a bit boring. But I can't be avatar every year and it took me ages to decide on what I was going to be for Halloween this year.
I don't know how this has happened but I seem to own 4 sets of devil horns in my house and I thought I could recycle some of them and become a little Lilith for Halloween this year.
Problem: Devils are so popular for Halloween. How can you jazz up a devil's makeup and costume? What can you do to stand out from all the devils around? Paint your whole body red? Have eyebrows on fire?
This is what I came up with and I hope you like it.
I wanted to have 3D cartoon lips for the night. I know, I know, it looks like I drunk milk from the bottle and forgot to wipe my top lip but this was intended. Products used my favourite red lipstick of all time, All for Eve red lipstick, Black Barry M eyeliner on the edges and some 17 Cosmetics gold highlighter in the middle.
It was fun playing again with spirit gum, and challenge myself makeup wise. It was the only way for me to get excited about my halloween character, after the anti climax of not being an avatar.
I want to tell you about the contact lenses I bought especially for the occasion and if I wasn't pushed for time and on a #bloggingdate with @raeraemakeup, I would have written about them today. Hopefully, I should be able to blog about them tomorrow. Click here to see what Rae turned herself into for Halloween 2012
Hope you had an amazing halloween! xx
