Halloween makeup!

How's everyone doing their Halloween faces? I'm going vampy, so I've saved some Ivory and I'll either be doing something with red hot and coal with lots of liner, or really sunken dead eyes... I can't decide! I love doing dress up make up :D

I was a skunk! I'll post pics when my sister uploads them. For the first half of the application though, I just looked like a very dirty man.

I was a fall fairy in reds and golds so i used a lot of gilded in a sort of maple leaf pattern around the top half of my face

I was fire! However, I had to resort to cheat on SN, as I couldn't find any neither bright sunny yellow or orange color in my collection :/ I think I wanna do the eye again, and this time with SN colors, any suggestions?
I did use Swank on my lips with a bit of Glam, and Halo glow instead of blusher.

i used golds so gilded GWP and goldie gold(DCed) as the brightest golds. I was thinking about how we don't have an orange, tigerlily is the closest thing but not really orange (Hey, Karen- we don't have an ORANGE), the closest i had were coppers (wheat penny, lucky LE, Legend) and then redhot is the only red also dc'ed. I painted bob's face in red and black with coal and a red lipliner (Milani's sugar plum- my new vamp lip obsession liner)

Yeah, I don't have either of those golds and needed something sunny and bright . I randomly got a sample of Mayan Gold from coastalscents the other day when I ordered their pressing medium, so that helped. For orange I tried Nekkid and Bargain Pink, but didn't really work. I got red from a girl who works for MAC a few years ago, so I dug that up.

Forgot, I added a bit of Crinoline on top of Halo, it was gorgeous. I'm not really using my glows any more, except for Liberty, because my foundation has Glow in it, but I was happy to rediscover them :)

Here is my getup, btw. Next to me is one of my girlfriends, Little Bo Peep, that I have yet to conver to SN, hmmmm :)

Fire - that's such a cool idea!!

I just went for a plain white face in the end with graphite, and coal and frenchie around my eyes and that lovely cherry red stain :) I bought some of those stick on fangs but they didn't last very long they kept dropping out...

Here's a couple of us, there's Jack Sparrow, my boyfriend as Indiana Jones (bless him he really thought he was!) and my housemate as something a bit spooky, I'm not entirely sure what!

Thanks :)

Hahahaha, Sarah, that's awesome! And yeah, those fangs aren't worth a damn. I tried them last year, they wouldn't stick :( But they look good on you, heh.
