Welcome to day 4 of my Halloween blogposts.
Day 4: Last minute Halloween costume: Cat costume, hair and make-up.
If you are running really far behind and you still haven't got a Halloween costume then this is definitely the costume for you. Today I will be showing you the make-up, hair and outfit that most resembles a cat costume for Halloween :) Enjoy!
Make-up: For the make-up you are going to want to apply foundation,concealer and powder as a base. I used the Rimmel - 25 Hour lasting nude foundation in Ivory, the Rimmel - Wake me up concealer in the shade Ivory and the Miss Sporty - So matte perfect powder in 01 Light.
Next you will want to move onto the eyeshadow. For this look you will need a white/light pink eyeshadow, a grey and a black eyeshadow because this is quite a dark, smokey eye. I used the colours virgin (white/light pink), gunmetal (silver) and creep (black) from the Naked 1 palette.
1. First of all I put virgin all over my eyelid, up into the crease and under my eye as close to the lower lash line as possible.
2. I then took gunmetal in the same places apart from under the eye and on the inner corner of my lid. 3. Finally I took creep into the crease of my eye and blended for about 1 minute.
Your then going to want to put a thick line of liquid eyeliner along your upper lash line and using a black pencil eyeliner your going to want to out a line along your waterline, making sure you go all the way into the inner corner connecting with the upper lash line.
The final touch to the eye's is mascara and I just curled my eyelashes and put on mascara. I used the Mua make-up academy - Lash boom mascara in the colour black.
At this point your eyes should look a little something like this!
The next step is the facial features. Your first going to want to take your liquid eyeliner and draw a heart shape on your nose. Your then going to draw three lines coming out of your nose each side. From the heart shape on your nose you are going to want to draw a line all the way down through your cupid's bow to meet the centre point of your lip. I then outlined my lips using my pencil eyeliner but if your confident enough you can continue to use your liquid eyeliner. It will then look something like this:
My next and final addition to the facial features is three little dots. I did three either side of the line from my nose to my mouth and three on the tops of the apples of my cheeks. This turned out looking like this:
Finally you will want to add red or pink lipstick and blend in using a lip brush or your finger. I then went over the black outline with a my liquid eyeliner to give it a more defined shape.
This is the end of your make-up look!
You are now going to want to move onto hair and this couldn't be easier. I simply pulled all of my hair up inot a high ponytail and that is it, Obviously if you have cat ears which you can buy in most stores (e.g. River Island) then thhis would be a really nice touch, but unfortunately I didn't have any so I had to do without. This is the finished hair look:
And finally the outfit.
For this you will literally need to get as much black clothes as you can. I used a turtle neck crop top, leggins and converse and it looked really cool!
The whole costume together looked like this and I was really happy how it turned out! (sorry about the quality of the picure)
