Last-minute Greek goddess Halloween costume

Quick, it's the day before Halloween and you don't have a costume...or do you?

If you have a long white or cream dress, gold jewelry, gold ribbon, gold & white eye shadow and sandals then you have a Greek goddess costume. Simple, adaptable & comfortable. 

I had the most fun with my makeup: I did a bronze contour, white & gold smokey eye and added white & gold swirls on the left side of my face for a more whimsical look. 

Here is the look I came up with using things around my house:

Halloween Makeup: Vampire [Inspired by The Vampire Diaries]

Happy Halloween Week! 

I went to a Halloween party this weekend and decided to be a unique and original costume -- a vampire. *sarcasm* This look is inspired by my recent obsession with watching The Vampire Diaries (I'm on season 5 and in love.) 

I decided to do a purple and red smoky eye, a bold cat-eye eyeliner and veins coming from my eyes. The trick to add dimension to the veins is to draw them on lightly with red or purple eyeliner, coat with a layer of your foundation and repeat until you are happy with how they look. In addition to The Vampire Diaries, I drew my color scheme from the ipsy bag "alter ego" vampire tutorial by Christen Dominique. I topped the eye look off with dramatic lashes.

For my base I mixed a light coverage foundation with white face paint to get a pale skin tone and contoured heavily with gray eye shadow. I then used translucent powder to lock this makeup in place. I finished the look with a nude lipstick and gloss and just a hint of "blood" from red & black face paint.

And here is how it turned out: 

What are you being for Halloween?
