Green Fairy |Halloween Countdown #2


For this look you will need:

  • Base makeup (concealer, foundation, powder)
  • Highlighter
  • Light and dark green eyeshadow
  • Green eyeliner
  • Mascara
  • Red lipstick
  • Hair bobbins
  • A heck of a lot of bobby pins and hairpins
Hair

  • Use your ear as a guide to section off the two front pieces of your hair, like so. Tie the back section into a ponytail for the moment.

  • Brush all your hair back to get rid of your parting, and gather all the front into one section

  • Starting at the bottom of one side, take a small section of hair. Twist it tightly and continue until the twisted section will reach the back of your head, and secure with a bobby pin. Or two.


  • Continue sectioning and twisting your hair until the entire front section is pulled back. The finished product should look something like this...


  • And this....(you will sort of look  like you've escaped from the set of Lord of the Rings)


  • Gather all your hair, including the ends of the twisted section into one mid-ponytail

  • Grab sections of your ponytail (I had four, but you can do however many you want) twist the hair tightly, then pin it down using hairpins and bobby pins. It doesn't have to be particularly neat. In the end, mine looked like this...



  • And that's it.
Makeup
  • Apply your base


  • Apply your dark green eyeshadow to your cheekbones. While we're here, let's just address that piece of hair that's sticking out, because it ain't going away


  • Apply your highlighter directly on top of the green eyeshadow. Once again, don't be afraid to use a lot of it. It's Halloween after all, there's no room for subtlety.


  • Blend it in...


  • Use your green eyeliner to line your upper lashline. Continue the line out from the outer corner of your eye. It should be almost completely straight.


  • Draw another line back towards your eye, so that you have a triangular shape, and fill it in. You can also thicken the line along your lashline to match.

  • It should look something like this...


  • Apply your light green eyeshadow all over the lid, taking it out to wear your eyeliner line ends.


  • Use your eyeliner to line your lower lashline and water line


  • Add mascara...


  • Andd lipstick...

  • And this is the finished product...



See you all tomorrow!
