Shimmery Smokey Eye
Halloween Makeup Ideas v.2
My loves,
Since my first Halloween Dia de los Muertos makeup look suggestion was so popular, I have decided to do a second "photo gallery," if you will, of some pretty makeup looks that I think would look amazing for Halloween. Being the girly girl that I am, I am always looking for a way to be creative yet still look pretty or glam at the same time.
Here are some of my favorite looks, all pulled from Pinterest:
All of these looks are relatively simple to create - I'm always a sucker for glitz & glam, so I am leaning toward doing a pixie or fairy-type look with glitter & sparkles!

Halloween Makeup Idea: Dia de Los Muertos
You guys! I'm totally obsessed with this makeup look for Halloween:
This is a Dia de Los Muertos look for Halloween. Dia de Los Muertos is a Mexican holiday where they honor their loved ones who have passed. All I can say is, the Mexicans sure know how to party and celebrate in style! I'm absolutely loving this look - glitz and glamour, finished off with a scary vibe... probably the most beautiful "dead & scary" look that one can achieve, if you ask me.
Break out those gems, glue, glitter, Kryolan face paints, Make Up For Ever Flash Palettes, waterproof liquid liners and bright eyeshadows! It's time for some face decorating ; )

Pixie Epoxy for All that Glitters
I was so happy to be given the chance to do another makeup photo session with Maureen, the mastermind behind Maureen Koo Calligraphy. Since we did a pretty natural look last time, I decided to create a glittery smokey eye for her to wear for her night out!
My secret weapon for this shoot was a bottle of Pixie Epoxy. For anyone who works with loose pigments, shadows, and glitter, this magical bottle will be sure to become your best friend. I don't know about you, but I find it almost impossible to put glitter pigment or even some shimmery/glittery eyeshadows on without fallout all over my face. While the glitter is supposed to stay on my eyelid, by the end of the day, my entire face becomes a glittery mess instead.
A quick dab of Pixie Epoxy helped me keep this MAC glitter pigment pot intact on her eyelids. The best part? (Besides the fact that an enormous tube only costs $7!) The epoxy enhances the color of the pigment (whatever color it is that you choose to use) and keeps it on throughout the day without feeling like you've got anything heavy on your lids. A very happy Maureen texted me the next day to report that she had absolutely no glitter fallout all night ;).
