Wicked Witch Halloween Makeup Tutorial

This Wicked Witch Halloween makeup tutorial is easy and is a great option for any last minute costume ideas.  Throw on a pointed witches hat, add some black nail polish, grab a wooden broom and you are ready to go out!  The ways you can accessorize this look are endless.

I wanted to create a Halloween makeup tutorial that didn't require painting or covering the entire face.  Slight green and yellow around the eyes and upper cheek bones paired with black lips will give all the emphasis of an entire Halloween look without spending a couple hours on face and body paint.

This weeks posts will be all about great last minute ideas for Halloween.  Then next week get ready as we transition into the warm and cozy holiday season.

Let's get started!

 
The Face

Prep, Foundation and Concealer

I moisturize my face with Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion and my under eye area with ELF Eye Illuminating Cream.  I prime my skin with Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiance and prime my under eye area with ELF Hydrating Under Eye Primer.  Using a Beauty Blender, I apply a mixture of Maybelline Fit Me Matte and Poreless Foundation in Soft Tan and Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation in Light 29 to my entire face.  To highlight and conceal I use Urban Decay Naked Skin Weightless Concealer in Light Warm in a V-shape beneath my eyes, in the middle of my forehead, down the bridge of my nose, on my chin, and on my eye lids.

Highlight and Set

To set everything I take the Real Techniques Setting Brush and place a mixture of the highlight shades Lucid and Lyric from the Kat Von D Shade and Light Contour Palette and place a generous amount over the areas that I highlighted with concealer.  I also add a generous amount to my jaw directly below my contour line.  I allow the extra powder to sit on my skin for a few minutes to "bake" before brushing off with a Morphe Brushes G23 Soft Fan Brush.

Contour

With the Real Techniques Sculpting Brush I take the contour shade Sombre from the Kat Von D palette and contour beneath my cheekbones, underneath my jaw bone, along the hairline on my forehead, down my temples, and alone the parallel sides of the bridge of my nose.  After blending I apply the fourth blush color from the Morphe Brushes 9B Palette, a pale nude pink, using the blush brush from the BH Cosmetics Party Girl Brush Set.  

Highlight

Using the same fan brush as earlier, I then apply the pale pink highlight shade from the Lorac Tantalizer Highlighter and Matte Bronzer Duo to the tops of my cheekbones, my forehead just above my brows, and the bridge of my nose.

Brows

I shape my brows with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Ebony, fill it in with the ABH Brow Powder in Medium Brown, and set it into place with the ABH Clear Brow Gel.

The Eyes

This eye look is actually very easy to pull off.  Spending some time blending is the key to achieving this partial face look.  There are no clean lines that you have to make, such as cut creases, so it is ok to get a little sloppy!

Base and Highlight

First, I take the shade Green Haze, a pearlized bright green with gold, from Morphe Brushes and start applying this with a fluffy blending brush over and above my crease, up to the bottom of my brow line.  I continue to take this in a "C" shape around the outside of my eye, staying just above my cheekbone, and tapering the color off on my cheekbone at about the halfway point of my eye.

With the same fluffy blending brush, I take the shade Pixie Dust by Makeup Geek, a shimmery lime green, and use this as the  highlight color for my inner tear duct.  I also take this to where I ended Green Haze and carefully blend the two colors together.  The goal is to create a gradient from Green Haze into Pixie Dust at the bottom end of the "C."

Next, I take the shade Tokyo Tea by Morphe Brushes, an iridescent green, with a tapered crease brush and highlight my brow bone.  I make sure that this shade evenly blends into Green Haze, which we placed all above the crease line.

Lid and Crease

I then take the duochrome color Typhoon by Makeup Geek, a duochrome shadow with a deep teal base and green and gold reflects, with a flat shadow brush and place it onto my lid from inner to outer corner, ending at the crease line.  I go over this color a couple of times, making sure it is as vibrant as I want it to be.

 Using a small tapered crease brush I apply the shade Dirty Martini by Makeup Geek, a matte olive green, into my crease using windshield wiper motions, taking time to really darken the color and blend this into Typhoon on the lid and Green Haze above the crease.

Outer Corner and Wing

Taking a tapered blending brush I use Wilderness by Morphe Brushes, a shimmer army green, to define my outer corner.  I apply this directly to the outer third of my eye lid in the shape of a sideways "V"

I take a small angled brush to draw on my eye liner using the NYX Gel Liner in Jet Black.  I make sure to create a very small "V" with the gel liner on the inner corner of my eye to give make the entire look more sharp and defined.  After creating the wing and allowing it to dry, I take the ELF Liquid Eyeliner in Copper and place this over the outer corner of my wing.

Bottom Lash, Mascara and Falsies 

Finally, taking the shade Dirty Martini by Morphe Brushes, an intense shimmer green (a different Dirty Martini from earlier, this one is by Morphe and the earlier one is by Makeup Geek) I glide it below my bottom lash line using a small eye defining brush, making sure to blend into the outer corner.

I apply Benefit Roller Lash mascara to my lashes.  For my falsies I choose Eylure London Definition Lashes No. 126 and apply them using the Vegas Nay by Eylure Lash Glue.

The Lips

If you're going to a Halloween party and don't want to worry about fixing your lips all night, I would suggest a nude or soft pink lip gloss.

However, for those willing to go the extra mile (like I did in this look) a black and purple look will bring everything together.  I line my lips with the NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Black Berry and then fill in my lips with NYX Soft Matte Lip Crease in Transylvania up until the inner pout.  For the inner pout I apply the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Copenhagen and then blend the two lip creams together using a patting motion with my pinky finger.  I finish everything off I apply a coat of Fantasy Makers by Wet 'N Wild Sparkling Lip Gloss in Wicked over everything.

I set the entire look with Urban Decay De-slick Makeup Setting Spray.

Glam Vampy Red Makeup Tutorial

My idea for this look was to create something sultry and vampy while still remaining wearable.  This red lip with matching soft red eyes would go well pared with vampire teeth, green and yellow werewolf contacts, a devil's horn headband, witch's hat, or any other creative creature accessory you can come up with.  It is a great way to put together any last minute Halloween costume (15 days and counting!).

Within the next two weeks I will be posting several more Halloween inspired looks that are easy to pull off and accessorize.  Check out my previous post Vampy Ombre Lips to add even more glam to this look with a vampy, pigmented red-orange ombre lip in place of the bright red.

How I Got This Look

The Face

Starting with the basics: I moisturize my face with Clinique Dramatically Different Moisturizing Lotion and my under eye area with ELF Eye Illuminating Cream.  I prime my skin with Laura Mercier Foundation Primer in Radiance and prime my under eye area with ELF Hydrating Under Eye Primer.  Using a Beauty Blender, I apply Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation in Light 29 to my entire face.  To highlight and conceal I use NARS Radiant Creamy Concealer in Vanilla in a V-shape beneath my eyes, in the middle of my forehead, down the bridge of my nose, on my chin, and on my eye lids.

To set everything I take the Real Techniques Setting Brush and place a mixture of the highlight shades Lucid and Lyric from the Kat Von D Shade and Light Contour Palette and place a generous amount over the areas that I highlighted with concealer.  I also add a generous amount to my jaw directly below my contour line.  I allow the extra powder to sit on my skin for a few minutes to "bake" before brushing off with a Morphe Brushes G23 Soft Fan Brush.

With the Real Techniques Sculpting Brush I take the contour shade Sombre from the Kat Von D palette and contour beneath my cheekbones, underneath my jaw bone, along the hairline on my forehead, down my temples, and alone the parallel sides of the bridge of my nose.  After blending I apply Make Up For Ever HD Blush in Cool Pink using the blush brush from the BH Cosmetics Party Girl Brush Set.  

Using the same fan brush as earlier, I then apply the first shade of pale white highlighter from the Carli Bybel by BH Cosmetics Palette to the tops of my cheekbones, my forehead just above my brows, and the bridge of my nose.

I shape my brows with the Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz in Ebony, fill it in with the ABH Brow Powder in Medium Brown, and set it into place with the ABH Clear Brow Gel.

The Eyes

I have been using the BH Cosmetics Party Girl Brush Set for applying my eye makeup.  Using the Urban Decay Naked 2 Basics palette I take the color Frisk, a matte warm grey, with a fluffy blending brush into the crease of my eye and start blending upward.  This is going to be our transition shade.

I then apply Cover, a matte red-brown, directly into my crease with a small tapered blending brush using windshield wiper motions.  I reapply this color a couple times to build the color, making sure it blends into my transition shade but stays directly within the crease.

Using a flat shadow brush I take the red-orange blush color from the Morphe Brushes 9B Blush Palette and press it onto the center of my eye lid and bring it down into my inner corner.  Once the color is as pigmented as I want it to be I go in with the shade Bitten by Makeup Geek, a matte deep maroon red, to increase the red color.   I then go back in with a crease brush and just make sure the crease and the outer V are just slightly blended enough that there are no harsh lines.

I use the color Primal, a matte brown, to define my outer corner.  I apply this directly to the outer third of my eye lid in the shape of a sideways "V" to smoke out the look ever so slightly.  I also add a little of the color Undone, a smokey matte brown, over top of where I placed Primal to darken the outer corner.

I take a small angled brush to draw on my eye liner using the NYX Gel Liner in Jet Black.  I get as close to the lash line as possible and press down on the lid to create a black line.  I wing this out when I reach the outer corner of my eye.

I then use the color Skimp, a pale nude satin, to highlight the inner tear duct with a fluffy blending brush, and a small flat shadow brush to highlight my brow bone just below my eyebrow.

Finally, I take the color Cover again and glide it below my bottom lash line using a small eye defining brush, making sure to blend into the outer corner of my eye to give the entire look a rounded appearance.  To add some dimension and soften any harshness I go over this color with our original transition color, Frisk.

To finish I curl my lashes and apply mascara using Benefit Cosmetics Roller Lash.  Using the Vegas Nay by Eylure Lash Glue I apply the Vegas Nay by Eylure lashes in Easy Elegance.

The Lips

I wanted the lips to stand out in this look just as much as the eyes.  I line my lips using Femme Fatale Lip Pencil by Essence Cosmetics.  I fill in the rest of my lips with NARS Velvet Matte Lip pencil in Cruella.  Finally, I layer Kat Von D Everlasting Liquid Lipstick in Bachelorette over everything.

I set the entire look with Urban Decay De-slick Makeup Setting Spray.

Vampy Ombre Lips Makeup Tutorial

With Halloween fast approaching who wouldn't love to rock a vampy lip?  This one is unique and although it is obviously not an everyday wearable look by any means, it would most definitely compliment any witch, vampire, or creature of the night costume you can come up with.

Speaking of costumes, I have yet to pull one together for myself.  I have already decided on several Halloween inspired makeup looks that I will be posting this month, but not one yet that I will be physically wearing on Halloween.  The reason is that I will be coordinating with my boyfriend on a matching couples costume.  I was thinking Hunter and Doe because he has a lot of camo and I have a lot of makeup (haha, obviously).

 
How I Got This Look

The Face and The Eyes

I did my usual face routine as the base of this makeup look.  All products used will be listed below.

The centerpiece of this look are the lips, so I want to do something simple and soft for the eyes.  I created a soft brown cut crease with heavy black winged eyeliner.

A tutorial for the soft brown cut crease makeup look will be posted this Friday!

 
The Lips

 This vampy ombre lip is actually fairly simple to achieve as long as you spend some time patiently blending.  Make sure to first exfoliate, moisturize and prime your lips in order to achieve a highly pigmented look.

First, I line my lips with NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Currant.  Using the BH Cosmetics Ultimate Lip palette, I take the first color on the second row, a dark purple-brown, and line my lips using the lip brush from the BH Party Girl Brush Set.  I then take the NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream in Copenhagen and go over this color to darken it.  I smudge out the inside of the line just slightly to help with the ombre effect.

Next, I take the fourth color on the second row of the Ultimate Lips palette, a red-orange, and use a clean lip brush to layer an overcoat around my lip.  After I do this I go back in with a clean lip brush and gently blend the area where the red and purple colors meet.

Last, I dab the fourth color on the first row, a pale yellow-nude color, onto my inner pout in order to prime it for what we are doing next.  Carefully bend the pale color into the red with a clean lip brush.  Then, using a clean shadow brush I take the color ES75, a burnt orange shimmer from the Morphe Brushes Jaclyn Hill Favorites Palette, and apply it directly over where I place the pale color on my inner pout.

Finally, go back in with a clean lip brush and clean up anything I can see that still needs to be fixed or blended more.
