HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Happy Halloween my beauties! Thought I'd celebrate with a little "throwback" to one of my favorite movies this time of year - Hocus Pocus! Although the Sanderson sisters came back after three hundred years to steal the lives of the children of Salem (spooky!), the insatiable witches still seem to win us over not only by their charming comedic performance, but by their fantastic makeup (why, hello SJP!).

Of the three witches, the most interesting transformation is of Winnie Sanderson, played by Bette Midler. While Sarah Sanderson's (Sarah Jessica Parker) brows are quite strong and bushy, Winnie's brows are virtually non-existent. With her rosy cheeks and buck-toothed smirk, Winnie Sanderson's cartoonish features stand her out as "head witch in charge".

What a great group costume idea!

 

Have a very happy and bewitching Halloween! ;)

HALLOWEEN MAKEUP - A scary/sexy twist!

It's about that time to start getting in the Halloween spirit, which means thinking about some costume ideas! I hate to admit it, but even with my interest in unusual makeup and special effects lately, I generally tend to shy away from very scary looks on myself, being the "girly girl" that I am...not to say I don't love my go-to "vampy witch" or "sultry vampire" (which I do!). However, it's always fun to step out of the box a bit.

I came across this look which gives a creepy twist to the glamour goddess herself, Marilyn Monroe. Half skull and half beauty icon, it's definitely the best of both worlds and a great option if you're looking to be "scary sexy", as I like to call it. Not sure if I'll be doing the full zombie attire any time too soon ;)

Have any interesting Halloween makeup looks you're thinking of trying out?

Celebrity Sunday Spotlight - Selena Gomez!

Going a bit darker in everything, from eye looks and lipsticks to even nail and hair color, is something that I feel just happens naturally once the seasons change and the cooler weather is upon us. Fall and winter makeup steers away from the light, fresh sun kissed looks of summer and delves into the sultry, vampy colors that make this season so fun.

Dark lips are one of my favorite fall trends, as Selena Gomez showed us at Versace's Spring 2014 Fashion show this past Milan Fashion Week. Going for an edgier look, Selena paired her dark berry wine lips with a winged out smoky eye, proving you don't have to choose one or the other! Her "barely there" blush is very subtle, allowing her lips and eyes to be the spotlight.

Want to try out a dark lip for yourself? Some great lipstick colors include MAC's Rebel, Milani's Black Cherry, and Covergirl Lip Perfection Lip Color in Euphoria. Don't forget to line your lips when wearing a deeper color! The NYX lip liner in Plum works well with all three ;)




Have a beautiful week!
