Halloween Makeup Look #8 | Bride of Chucky

Hey guys,

So, today is my 4 year wedding anniversary with my husband, but I am a little behind on posting my Halloween looks on my blog. I should have two up tomorrow and hopefully two up on Friday to complete my 2014 Halloween Looks! 

This look is the "Bride of Chucky", it was a very simple look. Please read below to see exactly how I did it.

I started this look off with already having my makeup done from the day (I did the look after I got off work). I started by taking a glue stick and pasting it over my natural eyebrows. I then covered my brows in translucent powder and repeated the step until my brows were flat to my skin. Then, I put concealer on them that was close to my skin tone. 

Eyeshadow: I used black eyeshadow blended in the crease with thick eyeliner. I have seen this look done several ways, so you can use any colors you would like as long as it is dark underneath the eyes.

Brows: I used black gel eyeliner and an angled brush to achieve these crazy brows. I also used gel liner to place the beauty mark on my upper lip.

Lips: I used Night Moth lip liner by Mac covered by a black lipstick that was blended out. 

And that my friends....is the finished look! I hope you enjoyed and more to come tomorrow!

HUGS,

Halloween Makeup Look #7 | Not so creepy CLOWN

#7!!! And I am falling so behind. I have several looks after #7 to still share! So please stay tuned.

Who got me inspired to do this look was Nicole Guerrero. If you aren't sure who she is, visit YouTube and type her name into the search bar. She is very talented as well as very entertaining so the videos are never boring.

For this look, I used a very small amount of things. What I used:

• White face paint
• BH cosmetics 88 shadow matte pallet
•  Liquid Eyeliner
•  Red Lipstick
• Red face paint (my nose) 
•  False lashes

I used the shadow over the white face paint and a Real Techniques shadow brush to blend the rainbow colors in my skin. I wasn't really sure how I was going to do it so my idea changed a bit as I went through the look. The part I disliked the most was how my brows turned out. I should have used the glue stick technique as I did with my Bride of Chucky look. It would have made them more smooth looking instead of the black getting messed up with my brow hairs. 

In all, I had a very good response posting this look on my Facebook and Instagram! So hope you enjoy!

Halloween Makeup Look #6 | Bedazzled Day of the Dead

Happy Tuesday!!!

This Halloween makeup definitely isn't getting old for me. Here is my number 6 Halloween makeup look. 

{Pretty Day of the Dead Makeup}

(This photo was taken under a blue-white light)

(This photo was taken under a more natural white light) 

What I used to achieve this look:

Step 1- Painted my entire face with white face paint

Step 2- Took a hot pink eye shadow and drew circles around my eyes

Step 3- Took more hot pink shadow and went over the circles

Step 4- Put on liquid liner on the top and bottom of my lashes (smudged out the bottom last line with a clean pencil brush)

Step 5- Used liquid liner to outline the pink circles around my eyes

Step 6- Used liquid liner to draw the outline of the webbing on my forehead, outline of swirls on my cheeks, draw my fake teeth, and flower on my chin

Step 7- BLENDING! Used black shadow and a small shader brush to blend under the webbing, swirls around my cheeks and on the outsides of my mouth under my fake teeth (on my cheeks I also used the same pink around the swirls)

Step 8- Filled in my chin with the same hot pink eye shadow that was used around my eyes

Step 9- Drew small circles all around the outside of the black liquid liner I put around my eyes

Step 10- Drew on my nose- I outlined it with black eyeliner and filled it in with black face paint, setting it with black eye shadow.

Step 11- Using clear eyelash glue and a q-tip, I placed glue around my eyes in each of the small semi-circles, tips of the flowers on my chin, random spots on the webbing and next to the swirls.

Step 12- I used teal rhinestones all around my eyes, around the the tip of the flower on my chin and near the swirls on my cheeks.

Step 13- I used purple rhinestones on the webbing on my forehead and on the edges of the flower on my chin.

Halloween Makeup Look #5 | Sexy Vampire

So, let me just say, I AM LOVING ALL OF THIS HALLOWEEN MAKEUP! I am having so much fun doing it! 

So, I attempted to do a vampire look, however, my vampire fangs didn't work out as you can probably tell (since you can't see them). They didn't fit over my real fangs properly and I didn't have glue. It was later in the evening so I didn't have time to go get glue, so I worked with what I had. ENJOY. 

EYES:

Transition shade: Red color from the BH Cosmetics 88 color matte palette. 

Crease: Matte Black shade from the BH Cosmetics 88 color matte palette.

Liquid Liner: NYC Liquid Liner (as always)

Lashes: Ardell Wispys

Bottom Lash Line: Black shadow blended out with a pencil brush with no product

Brows: Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Whiz and Dip Brow to darker it at the bottom

LIPS:

Lip Color: Covergirl Colorburst Lacquer Balm in Provocateur

Gloss: Smashbox Ruby

VAMPIRE BLOOD- I got a lot of blood on a q-tip and tilted my head and just let it drip

Then, I just put blood all over my hands and wiped it VERY sloppily all over my check and neck.

VOILE!

If you recreate this look, or something similar, please make sure to #amyjunemakeup on Instagram and twitter. I would love to see what you do!

Halloween Makeup Look #4 | Male Sugar Skull

Yes, yes, I drug my husband into this one. I wanted to do a male sugar skull makeup type of look, so this is what I came up with on the spur of the moment.

How I did it:

👻 I used white face paint all over the face, but made sure to not drag it underneath the jaw line.

👻 Then using black face paint I created the sockets of the eyes. It creases a lot, so I definately set it with black shadow as I did on all the areas on the face that I used black face paint.

👻 I drew in his hollow nose and set it with shadow.

👻 I used black shadow blended out to contour is cheek bones, forhead, and chin.

👻 Using NYC liquid liner I created his mouth, the dots on his forhead and squiggles on his chin.

Then, your look is complete.

If you do your own version of this, please #amyjunemakeup on Instsgram or Twitter and I would love to see it.

Also, I renamed my Facebook page so it would match everything of mine. The link is www.facebook.com/amyjunemakeup

Have a great day!

HUGS,

Amy

Wedding Makeup | christine & aaron say "I do"

Yesterday was a very long but awesome day for me. Weddings are always so rewarding especially when people compliment. Besides my horrible back ache, that is the only negative thing I would have to say.

Below I will share a few photos with you from the wedding. All of these photos are unedited and taken on my iPhone 5s. ENJOY! 

Some of my makeup set up! Getting ready to dig in and paint some faces! 

The beautiful bride on her special day! 

(I did use a Dinair airbrush machine and makeup to smooth out their complexion. I also airbrushed the brides chest and tan lines the best that I could.)

The brides gorgeous sister!

I wish I would have taken more photos of the bridesmaids, everything was just moving so quick. Since Christine is my friend, my husband met me there and we stayed for the wedding. We had a BLAST! I am pretty tired today.

Let me know if you guys have any looks that you want to see. Or if you would like products deets.

Hugs,

Amy

My go-to fall makeup look | Soft Eyes & Bold Lippie

Hope everyone is having an amazing week. Besides my son being sick, I wanted to get up a look I did this past weekend. It has been my go-to fall makeup look for the past few years! HAPPY FALL!

Products Used: 

Eyes: 

• Primer- Urban Decay Primer Potion
• Crease- Random palette (orangey-brown) shadow blended out with MAC Soft Brown 
• Lid and brow bone- MAC shroom
• Liner- NYC Liquid blended out with Makeup Geeks shadow in Corrupt
• Brows- Anastasia Beverly Hills brow whiz in blonde, set with Maybelline Clear mascara used as brow gel (I love it and its like $4 bucks)
• Mascara- Maybelline Pump it up Colossal Volume (pink tube)
• Lashes- Ardell Wispy

Face:

• Foundation- Revlon Color Stay in 240-Medium Beige. I get the normal-dry formula even though I have combination skin because I feel like it gives good hydration with good coverage.
• Concealer- Maybelline Fit Me! concealer in Light (this is a little dark for me now, but worked better for me when I was more tan.)
• Powder- Rimmel Stay Matte in the color 011-Creamy Natural
• Bronzer- NYC 720A Sunny
• Blush- Wet N Wild Pearescent Pink

Lips:

• Liner- I used NYX in Auburn
• Lipstick- Milani Cosmetics in Cabaret Blend

(I also moisturized my lips before I put my eye makeup on so they were ready for liner and lipstick, I used vitamin E oil that I squeezed out of a capsule. Works great!)

As you can see, the majority of the product I used were drug store, so definitely affordable. I love finding inexpensive but GREAT products at the drug store. A major favorite of mine lately is the Milani Lipsticks. I love the gold packaging, the way the lipstick smells, it is not drying and stays on pretty well. 

This is definitely a go-to look for me in the fall. I do switch up the lipstick of course. But, in the fall I get out of my comfort zone and try to use darker colors. (I usually stick to pinks and mauves year round). 

If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment in the box below.

XOXO,
