"In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it"
*Creeps in looking a good mix of embarrassed, awkward and apologetic for not posting in a really long time*
.....I'm sorry.....
Hello everyone! I knowwwwwwwwwww, it's been aaaaaages. My life suddenly got really busy. I turned 21 (Woo!), found myself a job (Woo woo!) and applied for a make-up course that starts in Setember (Woo woo woo!), so I've just been figuring all that out, as well as seeing my friends now they're all coming home after graduating from university.
I've finally got the end of my Mean Girls posts, which shouuuuuuuuuld have only taken 4 weeks, but I'm a terrible blogger and it obviously wouldn't run like that, now, would it?!
The final look is Regina and I chose to recreate her make-up from the Halloween party scenes.
It's a pretty easy look, and gives you chance to practise your gel liner skills - who doesn't need practise? It's also got some glitzy little gems and my photos vaguely feature bunny ears (classy lady!). Here's what I came up with, hope you like it!

Yes, I did only apply mascara, eyeliner and gems two 1 eye - I only ever show you my left eye anyway!
So, moisturise and apply your normal foundation and concealer, if you wear them. I used my usual Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow liquid foundation with Fake Up concealer around the eye area and on any blemishes.
Next, apply an eye primer if you want to, I didn't but would if I was wearing this make-up out. I then applied a pearly white cream eyeshadow to my entire eyelid, from lash line to brow bone. Make sure this is blended really well and not caked on. You want it nice and smooth. Apply a white eyeshadow over the top to set.
I then applied a very pale but slightly metallic eyeshadow just above the crease, but just below the brow bone. Blend this in well.
Apply a muted light brown in the crease and then using a clean blending brush, blend everything well. You don't want any harsh lines or blocks of colour. That's it for eyeshadow.
Apply a black pencil liner in the water and tight lines and then using a gel liner and brush, line the upper lash line. You want this line to be of thin to medium thickness, with a winged out edge. The easiest way to use a gel liner with a brush is to make short brush strokes, so you're remain in control at all times. Plot your winged edge using the end of the liner brush - hold it along the corner of your eye and match it to the end of your eyebrow. Brush a short line here, and then join it to rest of your eyeliner.
Using small body gems, stick one to the outer corner of your eye, and one to the inner corner - if you're going with gems. Leave them if you want a more wearable look.
Apply a highlight - something like Benefit High Beam, or Illamasqua Lumos highlighting powder - above the brow bone, along the centre of the nose and on the top of the cheekbones. Then generously apply a rosy pink blush to the apples of the cheeks. Blend this back towards the hairline.
And finally slick on a light pink lipstick and lip gloss (ugh, lip gloss!) (and bunny ears if you want them) - and you're done!
I hope you liked this! I do have lots of tutorials, reviews and hauls to share with you, and now I'm settled into my job I hope to update this blog more often. It's nearly a year since I started properly and I definitely haven't written enough posts yet! But I will try my hardest as I would love to boost my views and followers.
