Halloween Make-Up Ideas

With Halloween just around the corner, I thought it was a good time to share some easy to do Halloween make up ideas, using basic products!

 

 

 For this classic skeleton look, you need black eyeliner, black eye shadow, mascara and a bit of white eyeliner for the teeth. This is perfect if you love contouring! I contoured my cheek bones, nose, and all around my face using black eye shadow.

 

 

 This one is a bit simpler. All you need is a black eyeliner, and your favourite mascara and lipstick! You could go all out and go for a dark lip too! I wanted to keep it more neutral on the lips, so more attention is drawn to the eyes, therefore opting for a light pink colour.

 

 

Creepy doll - For this you need to make your eyes look as big as possible! (without covering up the rest of your face.) White eyeliner can help to create this illusion. Then you just need to use a lot of pink blush, for the cheeks, and using a black eyeliner, create the scar type things.. Conceal your lips, and using a bold lipstick create a lip shape smaller than yours!

 

 

 

 The not so scary cat look - probably the easiest and quickest look out of them all! Just create your favourite Smokey eye, put on your 'go to' lipstick, then add a cat's nose using a black eyeliner and a pink lipstick or eye shadow for the middle. simple!

 

I hope you enjoyed this post, and that it gave you some ideas for easy make-up looks, that make it look as though you made an effort, (without really making much effort!)

 

I would love to know what you are going as for Halloween! Let me know in the comments.

An Autumn Weekend Walk

It seems so strange that September is already here. Like most people, I can't believe how fast this year is going, but i'm glad it's autumn.

 

All through summer, I can't help but wish it would stay warm and sunny for ever (not that we get that much sunny weather in England), but as soon as Autumn hits, I realise just how much I like it. Big Jumpers, warm fires, duvet days, and delicious smelling candles, are some of the things that make me love autumn so much. 

 

 

 

Me and my sister have wanted to go blackberry picking since summer hit, and last weekend seemed like the perfect oppurtunity. It was wellie weather again (which excited me), so we headed off for the fields with our wellies, bags for the berries and of course, our doggie.

 

I feel so lucky living so close to the countryside. It's so peaceful and is perfect, if like me, you love spending time outside.

 

We walked for a couple of hours, talking, picking blackberries (even the dog joined in on that) and just enjoying being outside. Even though England isn't too warm at the best of times, It was such a nice temperature, and was good to get a breath of fresh air.

 

I definitely want to make more time to escape to the fields. The countryside is so beautiful at this time of year, and even if you have noone to brave the outside with you, listening to music whilst you walk can be so relaxing and even quite therapeutic.
