Halloween make up done easy

Where not all as creative or as cleaver as professional make up artists. Remember these people have spent a long time practising and training. However nobody knows your face better than you so try not to over strain yourself by trying to copy professional images off the Internet. Instead just follow some of these easy tips for simple Halloween make up and add them to your usual party make up routine.

Cat Make up
Do your face base make up as you usually would for a night out then highlight your brows if you usually do, if you don't then get a slanted eyeshadow brush and a Matt brown eye shadow, lightly drag the brush through the shadow and trace lightly over your brows working from the inside out.
If you're quite confident with applying eyeshadow try a dark grey as a base with a white shadow blended from the inner corner of the eye outward. Then put your black liner on the bottom as you usually would. Using a black liquid liner put a small dot on the outside of the eye on either side, this will be a guide for your flicks to match. To draw you top liner start at the inner corner and work your way out toward your mark.
If you feel you might make several mistakes do the liner first then the shadow, then top up the liner again for definition and density of colour.
Put 3 dots on either cheek with the black liner then use the same line to draw 3 whiskers on each cheek near the dots.
Use the black liner to draw a triangle on the end of the nose and colour in, then colour in around the nostril area. To finish draw a line from the middle of the nose to the top lip then trace around the top tip with you black liner and colour in.
Finish with mascara.
Here are a few examples.


If you feel extra brave try adding some lashes, diamantes or sparkle dust.
