{Halloween 2014}

I hope everyone had a fun (and safe) Halloween this weekend! 

 

I absolutely love Halloween (or any opportunity to dress up really) so I wanted to share with you my two Halloween looks this year, from Thursday and Friday night.

 

Halloween 1.0 Rosie the Riveter

My WWII pin-up girl was probably the easiest costume I've ever put together.  Denim on denim, big lashes, red lips.  Check!

 

Gotta love Snapchat

 

 

For the eyes, I used mostly shadows from my Lorac Pro palette (which continues to be one of my favs btw) as well as the MAC Naked pigment.  I wore a limited edition MAC lipstick in Ruby from the Pedro Lourenco collection, topped with the MAC Viva Glam Rihanna gloss. 

 

Halloween 2.0 Leopard

I think I've been some form of cat for Halloween every year for the last four years.  This year, however, I took things to another level.  HEAD-TO-TOE leopard print.  It. Was. The. Best. 

 

My BFF Jill (Sandra Dee for the evening) and I

I used an angled liner brush and a pot of Maybelline Eyestudio Gel Liner to create the spots on my face, and color in my kitten nose.  For the eyes, I used another MAC pigment in Museum Bronze (a color I'm now obsessed with) all over the lid and then went to town with MAC Global Glow MSF all over my face; as a contour, blush, to blend out the pigment on my lid.  Finally, I used a MAC glitter in Gold and a little Fix+ to fill in each of the spots with glitter and highlight the inner corners of my eyes.   

In these photos I am wearing a Revlon Matte Balm in Sultry, but I swapped it for MAC Twig to achieve a more brown nude.  I also wore the same pair of Ardell 106 Fashion Lashes in both looks, which were fab and made me feel like Barbie. 

 

What were you this Halloween??
