Halloween look: Angels

Hello everyone~
It's nearing Halloween, which means makeup looks! YAY! Oh I am so excited~ I can finally go crazy with makeup and get away with it~! 
The first tutorial I have for you was requested by a friend, and she asked me if I could do a good and bad angel sorta thing, so I did my best and this is what I came up with:



If you'd like to know how to get this look, then please keep on reading~

I applied a toner and moisturiser to my skin beforehand. 
Apply a primer to your face - this will make sure that your makeup stays on all day/all night, then apply a light foundation/BB Cream and conceal any areas that need more coverage with a concealer.





Fill in your brows with a light colour (1), we don't want to make them really drawn in, we want them to be nice and soft. Once you've done that, apply a base/primer to your eyelids to prevent your eye shadows from creasing.




Apply a light pink eye shadow (2) all over your lids - don't worry if it's not too neat, we'll be blending it out later. You also want to apply this eye shadow under your eyes too.




Apply a sparkly/glittery white eye shadow (3) to the inner corners of your eyes - we want our eyes to appear big and bright.




Apply a matte off-white eye shadow (4) to your brow bone and use a dusty pink eye shadow (5) in your crease to blend out the pink eye shadow on your lid. Don't worry if the pink starts to disappear, just re-apply it!




Use a highlighter of your choice to highlight your face. You want to apply this on your forehead, cheek bones, nose bridge, cupids bow and chin - basically, the high points of your face.




Set your makeup in place (avoiding the areas we highlighted) with a powder and use a lip balm to prep your lips for lipstick.




Apply a white eyeliner to your waterline to open up your eyes even more, then use a black eyeliner of your choice, line as close to your lashes as you can, then apply mascara on your top lashes only.





Apply a bright pink blusher to your cheeks - start from the back of your cheeks, by your hair line, and blend in. Apply a bronzer to contour your face a bit.






Apply some long and fluttery fake eyelashes and a glossy pink lipstick.





And that's the good angle look complete!







Now for the bad angle look:

In your crease, apply a light grey (1) and dark grey (2) eye shadow, blending this out well, and then use a black (3) eye shadow to bring the colour onto the lid and blend into our lash line. Apply the grey eye shadow under your lower lashes, but only half way.





Apply a black eyeliner on your waterline, but only lining half way, then apply plenty of mascara to your top and bottom lashes. Using an eyeliner of your choice, line your eyes and create a long wing at the corners. After that, fill in your brows with a darker shade.









Apply a set of false eyelashes for more impact, and once you've done that, apply a matte peach blush to your cheeks, and contour your face with a bronzer.





For this look, I will show you 3 choices in lipsticks, the first is a nude matte lip. Firstly, blank out your lips a bit with some concealer - make sure your lips are moisturised and aren't dry or chapped!





The second is simply applying a lip gloss on top of the matte lipstick.




Or, if you're feeling very daring and in the mood, you can wear a dark red lipstick which is my personal favourite because it's very suitable for Halloween, specially with these eyes.




And that's it!





I hope you like this look! Of course, if you have your angel outfit together it's going to look a lot better! I had a lot of fun with this look~ it's very wearable for everyday too, and of course you can change the look to suit you!
