Share Your Halloween Makeup on Temptalia!

Happy Halloween! 🙂  My favorite part about Halloween is the candy, but I have a bit of a sugar tooth when it comes to candy bars that needs to be indulged once or twice a year… and Halloween is a good excuse to do so!  (I love Snickers, mmm!)  If you’ve missed it, I’m not dressing up this year–in fact, I haven’t done so for ten years now–but I am dressing up my dog, which is way more entertaining!

I would love, however, to invite Temptalia readers to show off their fun Halloween makeup, because I am sure there are plenty of you going out in full costume and we’d all love to see!  (And perhaps, get a little inspiration for next year!)

How-to Submit Your Look:

  • Three (3) high quality images minimum
  • Pictures must be at least 500 pixels wide
  • You can send me the original file to edit
  • No watermarks
  • List/description of what products you used

Submit your Halloween looks to submit@temptalia.com. We’ll take submissions through November 2nd, 2009.

It’s a bird… it’s a plane… it’s… SUPERDOG!

I was planning on going out, but I’m getting freaked out about H1N1. I had hoped to do either a faced painted Venetian mask or Butterfly mask. I was also thinking of doing a snowy ice queen since I got the white feather lashes from Makeup Forever. (They’re really gorgeous by the way. 😉

Here’s what I tried out a little while ago:

It’s a bit messy and I would’ve added some jewels if I’d done it for tonight.

Heheh, it’s like they KNOW they’re not supposed to be wearing clothes. I’m relentless, I’ve got him to wear boots and shirts. He’s gotten a bit used to the shirts though. I think its the hats that bug him most.

Here’s some of him wearing boots:

They have velcro to try to prevent them from coming off, but he always seems to shake them off.

Thanks Christine! Your doggy looks so cute as Superdog. My cat would never let me dress her up. The last time I did that was when she was a kitten and me and my brother but her in a dress.

Mellan looks so adorable! I wanted to dress up one of my cats, but she wasn’t having it last time I tried to put her in a birthday dress. lol Hope you had a great Halloween!

Aww your dog is too cute! We have a yellow lab also who looks similar to your dog but she is a lot smaller even tho she’ll be 3 next month. Everybody think she’s still a puppy LOL

Lucky you! I was hoping Mellan was going to top out at 60 or so. He hit 60 pounds by the time he was six months old… and he stayed that way until December… and between then and June, he put on 10-15 pounds. He’s actually pretty small when we compare him to other labs.

I wanna see pics 🙂 I have a big ol’ soft spot in my heart for yellow labs!

I somehow managed to be FOUR different things on four different nights (Patty Mayonnaise from Doug, a cat, Lady Gaga, and a fairy) and didn’t get a single picture. -_- I assure you, the makeup was epic on all four! 🙂 Also, Mellan is super precious. He needs to be a doggie model or something.

Your dog is so cute with his costume! And he doesn’t look bothered by it at all!
It’s a great idea to have those share your looks posts. I sent you 2 Halloween looks, but I’m sorry, I sent you the email twice, I had forgotten to put my name on the first one. Lol.
