Halloween on a Budget !

Happy almost Halloween Fxers and in honor of my favorite holiday. I thought I'd offer you 6 last minute Halloween looks three for girls and three  for guys. Because honestly we are all college students here and while it be cool to go all out this Halloween a lot of us don't have the time, patience or money to do so . So I came up with six looks that are super easy and low cost this Halloween . I spilt it into girls and guys but its Halloween so really you could do any of these looks if you wanted to!

The Guys

Slit throat

What you will need

Liquid Latex  Budget tip * If you don't have latex Elmer's Glue is a good sub.

tissues

fake blood  Budget tip* food coloring and cornstarch makes fake blood.

red blue green food coloring

wire optional

optional foundation 

 

How to

Step 1 Put a layer of latex across   your neck the length is up to you . Then put a layer of 1ply tissues over it. wait for it dry. Repeat this process until you feel that your fake skin is built up enough to play with. I did 6 layers.

Step 2  Cut open your fake skin . Be very careful sense this is around you neck area. Optional you can use foundation to blend the latex into your skin it will make it look more realistic  

Step 3 I used my injury stack to create bruising around my neck. But we are on a budget here so. Take your blue ,red ,and green food color and begin applying them all around your neck and on your fake skin. if your colors mix that's a good thing.  

Step. 4 Optional but to make your cut look deeper take a dark food color, black marker , eye shadow what ever you'd like and color in the area where you cut your fake skin open .

Step 5 Add lots of blood everywhere there is never to much fake blood your neck just got sliced open there should be tons of fake blood.

Step 6 Optional you could add thin wire and stick it through the latex to make it seem like there was a struggle.

 Exposed Bone

 What you need 

Liquid Latex  Budget tip * If you don't have latex Elmer's Glue is a good sub.

Tissues

red blue green food coloring

Gum the white color 

How to 

Step 1 Put a layer of latex across  your arm the length is up to you . Then put a layer of 1ply tissues  over it. wait for it dry. Repeat this process until you feel that your fake skin is built up enough to play with. I did 6 layers.

Step 2  Cut open your fake skin . Be very careful because you don't want to cut your actual skin open. Optional you can use foundation to blend the latex into your skin it will make it look more realistic  

Step 3  I used my injury stack to create bruising around my arm. I also used a couple of different eye shadows intensive the bruising. But once again we are on a budget here so. Take your blue, red, and green food color and begin applying them all around your arm and on your fake skin. if your colors mix that's a good thing.  You are also going to want to bruise inside the cut as well. 

Step 4  Chew some gum because this is going to act as your "fake bone". After a few chews you will be able to  mold into the shape of a bone. 

Tip* Make sure you your hands are clean of any other products you were using before working with the gum . I did not and had to repeat this step 3 times. We will be adding slight color to this later so you want a blank canvas.

Step 5  With you latex glue your bone into place the angle and direction is completely  up to you.  and then being to use your food coloring to slightly bruise your bone.  if you don't know how to make bruising check out my blog post on how to make fake  bruises .

Step 6 Blood everywhere go blood insane. Fake blood is the best part of any look.

Step 3  Take your blue, red, and green food color and begin applying them all around your arm and on your fake skin. You  could color the inside of the wound black to give more depth.

Sugar Skulls Two ways Easy / Meduim diffculty

Sugar Skulls 2 Ways

 

Hello Fxers and welcome back to my blog. Today we are back at the how to looks. And I thought what a great day to do Sugar Skulls. The 1st  one Im going to show you today is basically how to cheat looking like you know what your doing this Halloween. Its a beginer Sugar skull that involes only three simple steps then for the other one . Im going to step it up a bit and get creative! So lets get started .

 

 

Products Needed

White face paint or cream eye shadow

Black face paint or cream eye shadow

Sugar  skull sticker kit from Halloween Spirit

 

 

Lets get Started

Step 1  Paint your whole face with white face paint and set it with white powder

 

Step 2 Use your black face paint and make a big circle around your eyes starting at your eyebrow and ending underneath your eyes . Fill it in with the face paint then set it with black eye shadow if you have. Fill in your nose with black face paint .

 

Step 3 Get creative with the stickers form your Sugar skull sticker kit. you can do anything you like. and you can also jazz it up a bit like i did. By gluing gems to my forehead to give the look an extra little something. here what it looks like ! 

 

                                           AND THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE :)

 

My second sugar skull is something I came up with it is kind of like an Sparkle Skull.
 The interesting thing about this skull is that it was completely made out of eye shadow expect for
the white face paint around the chin and mouth and the bling of course! And it transitions between 3 colors.

What you will need
2 glitter shades of eye shadow
2  normal shades of eye shadows the same colors as your two glitter shades
Black eye shadow pigment
1 normal eye shadow of any color of your choosing
white face paint
Dusting powder
Some bling !
2 brushes of your choice

Lets begin!!!!
Step 1 Begin putting the white face paint from under your chin all the way up to the tip of your nose. Blend it out as much as you can.

Step 2 Take one of your glitter shades and  one of your solid shade and being to dip your brush in one then the other  I used blue tones for this !

Step 3 Begin to blend this right  where you stopped your white  face paint Blend about a 1/2 inch into the white. This will make a natural transition and not a harsh one.

Step 4 Continue to blend these to colors until you hit the top of your cheeks .

Tip * The whole section where your blending these colors should turn that color and it should be very noticeable so keep going if it is not quite there

Step 5 Repeat Step 2 with your second set of colors ! I used purple tones for this !

Step 6  Repeat Step 3 only this time your will be blending the color at your temples to make the transition to your next color!

Hint *  leave your eye socket and eyebrow areas open we will fill them in later !

Step 7 Blend these colors all the way up to your hair line avoiding your eye and eyebrow areas

Step 8  Take your two set of colors and begin blending them all the way down your nose until you get a color your happy with.

Step 9 Fill in the tip of your nose with black  eye shadow pigment.

Step 10  Use an eyeliner stick in any color. If you have black it could make the next couple steps easier. Make a big circle around your eyes starting at your eyebrow and ending underneath your eyes .

Step 11 Fill in this circle with any color you want. You can mix colors if you want. I did a deep but bright pink. Then dusted a sparkly sliver over it. !

Tip ****This is wear having a black eyeliner stick would make your life much easier so you can do these following steps with that if you would like !!!!!

Step 12 Begin to outline your circle with your black eye shadow pigment you can do this very easily with a Qtip. Then being to make tiny lines coming off  the circle you have just outlined. Using a Qtip to do this will make your lines thinker thus giving it a cooler appearance.

Step 13 Fill your lips in with black. Then begin to make a line form the corner of your lips to the middle of your checks with your black eye shadow pigment. Make a bunch of evenly spaced lines going through the line you just made. This is you mouth!

Step 14 Add bling wherever you want!

Step 15 If you have it dust your whole face with dusting powder. If you don't know what dusting powder is. It is a fine powder made completely of sparkles !!

                                             HERE IS THE FINISHED PRODUCT !!!
