T minus 6 days till Halloween! What will you choose to be this year? Fear not, if you are STILL completely clueless (like me), the Instagram beauty community has been blowing up with all types of creative costume ideas. Some extremely simple, and some looks that are very very extravagant, but fun to pretend we could imitate them none the less. The great thing about the majority of these looks is you most likely have products required to make these costumes come together in your makeup bag already!

The necessities for this look are simple to create the impact you want. Pick up (from the drugstore, or your personal collection) some frosty loose powder pigments in the cool shades you wish to use. Color schemes about use electric blue, teal, purple, deep hot pinks, and a light white to use as a highlighter. The basic technique to create the iconic scales of this look is to use a fishnet stocking around the area where the scales will go. From there just lightly tap the powder in place. To make sure these precious scales do not brush off throughout the night, spray some facial setting spray over the art.

So... this is a fun one with the recent clown outbreak across the nation. The look can take any form, with no one specific way to do this right. Common features incorporated in this look are shapes and colors around the eyes as shown about, a very light powdery complexion, and a painted mouth and nose. Get creative with this look and use any colors you desire! But do be careful out there...

Great Post! Im in the finals stages of creating my halloween look but I never thought to look to Instagram for inspiration. Not a fan of clowns but the mermaid inspired looks are definitely cool.
ReplyDeleteLoved this post! It really highlights how much information we are exposed to via social media. It also shows how anyone can give information and be a help to people through the internet. These ideas are all fun and exciting and definitely not something that I would think to do!
ReplyDeleteGreat post! It is crazy how much social media has become a huge influence in all aspects of our lives, eve down to the Halloween costume planning portion. I've noticed tons of ideas on Instagram and a lot more on YouTube where people give full step-by-step tutorials on basically every halloween costume you could think of!
