Halloween bloody cut-crease makeup tutorial

Hey all,

So Halloween is drawing nearer, I am currently on day 9 of my 31 days of halloween over on my Instagram page instagram.com/emilyjaynefx. It's actually more difficult than I thought, coming up with a new Halloween makeup everyday, luckily there's a lot of inspiration out there. Today I did a cutesy clown, this idea is completely not original as I know a few big Instagram makeup artists have created this look. 

Its very simple & easy to do though, I created it using;

• Illamasqua- Skin base foundation in 06 & White, and their precision gel liner in Infinity.
• Anastasia Beverly Hills- dipbrow in ash brown
• Mac Cosmetics- lipstick in Ruby Woo

I wanted to share with you a little step by step tutorial for the makeup I created for day 6 which was a Halloween Cut-Crease look. My favourite type of makeup is combining pretty beauty with gore, maybe I'm a total weirdo, but even if I am, around this time of year I can get away with it. What I like about this look is that if teamed with normal beauty makeup, it can be really subtle but with a gory Halloween twist. If you are going out to a club, you may not want to fully get dressed up, so something like this could be perfect.

Things you will need:

• Red eyeshadow (I used Grenadines by Nars)
• Dark brown or black eyeshadow (I used Triple Fudge from the chocolate bar palette by Too Faced)
• Fake blood (a thick congealed one- Fresh scab by Ben Nye is always a winner) & also a runny one.
• Of course your regular makeup too, and a nice vampy lipstick (I'm wearing a Limecrime velvetine liquid lipstick in the colour salem. (Love, love, love)

1. Fill in your brows and conceal your eyelids, finish with a skin tone eyeshadow or powder.
2. Take your red eyeshadow, and using a small round brush draw a line in your crease.
3. Blend a little, upwards with a blending brush.
4. Extend the line with the eyeshadow to create a wing.
5. Take your dark brown shadow and draw a precise thin line in the crease.
6. Take your thick congealed blood and draw over this line.
7. Draw your actual winged liner in black.
8. Finish with some mascara and eyelashes

To exaggerate the look I then lightly dabbed some runny fake blood along the crease and also added a bit of splatter (use an old toothbrush) and then you're good to go!

Go on, give it a try!!

It's time for me to go and do a new Halloween look for my Instagram, I'm thinking of doing a sexy Beetlejuice today, erm sexy and Beetlejuice in the same sentence you might ask?? Weird I know. 

Peace & Love x
