A Minute of Inspiration: Halloween Makeup

While looking for some makeup ideas for my Halloween costume this year, I came across these amazing gems of inspiration. Makeup decals, face paint, glitter, sequins, fake lashes, hair dye and colored contacts really make for a dramatic Halloween look. If you're like me, and your Halloween costume comes ready to go in a bag-- meaning there is very little room for costume creativity..the way I like to add my own unique flair is through the way I do my makeup. Hope these inspire you to do something amazing with your Halloween makeup this year!

Here's how my makeup turned out (I wish I would have taken a close up, I'm the Queen of Hearts;)...the shadow I bought looked sparkly red in the store...but turned out to be more of a black color :/ Important tip, try makeup colors on your hand before you buy them so you know exactly what you're going to get! Happy Halloween!
