Monika’s husband’s Halloween look

MONIKA is a beauty blogger with a bit of a “creative flair” as she likes to say. She has a passion for both neutral and dramatic makeup, as well as natural and organic skincare. You can check out her blog here.

INSPIRATION: This look was inspired by Mad Hatter character in the recent Tim Burton’s Alice in Wonderland movie with some slight changes to accommodate for my husband’s beard and dark hair (we thought of buying a red wig initially, but couldn’t find a good enough one). I wanted the eye make-up to look like splashes of colorful paint on the upper lid and still to blend in with the purple shadow underneath the eye. I’ve also contoured the cheeks and jaw with a plummy blusher mixed in with a bit of a taupe shade. I thought my husband’s bushy eyebrows and strong facial features went really well with the look.

• BREAKDOWN: Coastal Scents 56 Blush & Eyeshadow Palette, Inglot #58 Gel Lipstick.

Paula’s Halloween look

PAULA is 24 years old and lives in Florida. She loves color and creativity, and she finds makeup allows her to enjoy both freely. She’s self-taught and tries to pick up as many techniques as she can along the way!

INSPIRATION: I had no intentions of going out for Halloween. However, Saturday afternoon, my coworker invited me out for the evening, so I literally had two hours to figure something out and get it together! On the way to the beauty supply store, I said to myself that if I found lashes and a wig, I’d be set! There, I found a bunch of colorful Red Cherry Lashes and a lilac Afro wig. I also picked up some colorful, 99-cent jewelry. Remembering this awesome dashiki I had bought a couple of months before, I decided to put it all together and be a rainbow; well, not just any rainbow, but a FIERCE rainbow!

Soo’s Halloween look

INSPIRATION: I wanted a dramatic look for the club this past weekend, so I tried to do that. The NYX contest was about being a ‘goddess of the night’ and I thought of purple being a ‘royal’ sort of color and went with that.
