Hey girls! I was bored, so I thought I'd get creative and try to come up with some makeup to go with something I'd like to be for halloween this year...Hope you enjoy! **The coloring is messed up in the "how-to" shots because of crappy bathroom lighting sorry..but in the final result it's true to color!

Here's what you will need!

Mac e/s:
Deep Truth
Carbon
Black Tied
Forgery
Aquadisiac
other Mac:
Rose pigment
concealer
Dainty blush

Miscellanous items that don't have to be MAC:
Black eyeliner
Silver eyeshadow
black mascara
loose powder
clear lipgloss
Brushes!

First, Start with a clean face and add whatever foundation/concealer you use..I am going to use Crow Cosmetics Mineral Foundation in Light 2

Prep your face with your eye primer, I am not using any in this totm because I plan on washing this off as soon as I am done! Put loose powder under your eyes to catch fallout!*I am using a lancome powder

Now, take your 242 brush and starting at the inner corner of the eye brush on aquadisiac onto your entire lid going up into the crease a little

With the same brush put deep truth into your crease covering the small sliver of aquadisiac

It should now look like this

Take your crease brush and with a heavy coating of black tied swirl it into the outer 'v' of your eye, blend upwards,You'll see what it should look like with the next pic

Next, take an eyeliner brush and line your top lid with a silver eyeshadow, I am using one from an le lancome quad,with that same shadow, highlight your browbrone being careful not to get any fallout on the rest of your eye makeup...

now smudge it! But don't over do it, it disappears fast!

Take your eyeliner brush again and line your bottom lashline with carbon

Lastly, add a cream liner to your waterline (or whatever black liner you prefer)

Curl your lashes and put on your mascara and we are done with the eyes!

Now onto the lips...you can save a lot of time if you have a 'pink chrome' colored lipstick or gloss

How I made my lipstick was I mixed a clear gloss with rose pigment and before I added the gloss to my lips I whited them out with concealer, I then dabbed forgery e/s on top....Voila!...Chromed out pink sexy alien girl lips lol

I finally added some bronzer to my cheeks,forehead. nose and chin for a little dept and dainty blush to my cheeks using a small flat top brush

Final Result!
