Another easy Halloween makeup look! Halloween looks don’t have to be complicated. In this easy look you only need your regular makeup as well as some fake blood. The key thing in this look is to just use warm red colors to go with the fake blood tears.

Every year my sisters urge me to create Halloween looks and every year I find myself – well – not doing them. Or just doing something Halloweenish, like this dark smokey eye I did last year.

This year is different. I decided to finally go for it and push myself to be more creative. I listened to the voice that says ‘yes you can’ rather than the voice filled with doubt and buts.

Easy Halloween makeup – Blood tears

So here I am, with the first Halloween look. This look is very simple, but it looks pretty fierce. I call it Blood tears. I like this look, because you can still do a beautiful makeup look to go with it and your whole face doesn’t have to scream Halloween. You just do your makeup and add some blood tears. I have a strong feeling I will be going with this look for this year’s Halloween parties.

I just realized that red lenses would look super cool with this.

Some notes about the look if you want to recreate it:

A good even base is important here, since there’s so much happening with the eyes and the red lips. Use a foundation that gives a nice coverage. The foundation I used is cheap and miraculously good.

I did warmer eyebrows than usual – again, to go with the red theme.

I contoured my eyes quite dramatically. I applied some eyeshadow at the beginning of my brow and upwards to create this sad/dramatic effect. That new palette with warm shades from KICKS is perfect for this. And it’s an awesome palette.

I applied a ton of blush and brought it to my temples as well. Owning a red blush came handy here!

I also applied a ton of pink highlight. The more the merrier! That KICKS Highlighting palette was perfect for this.

I applied some red paint under my lower lash line and as blood ‘spatters’ before going in with the fake blood. I’ts easier to bring all the way to the lashline, than fake blood. I also applied the same red paint on my lids, since I don’t own a good red eye shadow (but I patted some golden shimmer color on top of it).

I’m not sure where Grimas is sold, but here in Finland it’s available in shops that sell costumes and stuff.

I didn’t do a tutorial I as I was just kind of winging it. But I took a few in the making shots:

Are you excited about Halloween?

I think I am! I will be posting another Halloween look during October. I’m planning on making it a tutorial.

It happens every year. I get crazy about fall. I love it’s colors, the gloomy weather, scented candles, chai lattes, the fall foliage and most of all – I love fall makeup. Red and orange hues. Dark berry lips. Gorgeous glowy skin. Messy smokey eye.

I’ve been bursting with excitement when it comes to makeup. I’ve taken all my dark lipsticks out and I’m suddenly feeling a need for more warm-toned palettes.

I felt very inspired to do a fall-inspired makeup look and here’s what I came up with. Warm eye makeup with orange shimmer on the lid, lots of black liner, burgundy lips and a full-coverage foundation with lots of highlight. Oh, and a lot of blush. I guess it feels refreshing to wear lots of makeup after wearing minimal makeup throughout the summer, haha.

Besides sharing this look I also wanted to tell you about the products I used. There are some old favorites here, some that I recently started to use again, and also a brand new product that I’m trying out.

Fall makeup

TONYMOLY Egg Pore Silky Smooth Balm*

Pr-sample
I got this primer from the launch event that I attended last week. I think Tony Moly has the cutest packaging! This golden egg is actually surprisingly beautiful as well. I’ve only tried it a few times, but it feels nice. It has a delicious scent and it feels very smooth on my skin. The primer is silicone-based, so it’s great for smoothing out the skin and hiding pores. I used to wear these kinds of primers all the time. Nowadays I rarely wear any primer. Let’s see if this primer changes my makeup game.

KICKS Makeup Brushes*

Pr-samples
I’ve been using KICKS’ brushes for quite some time now. I think their quality and price point is great. My favorite brush from them is the highlighting brush. It’s the perfect size, it’s soft and not too dense and it makes highlighting easy.

Milani Baked Blush, Red Vino*

I’ll admit: I mainly bought this blush, because it’s gorgeous and I wanted a deep red blush. In reality though, this is very very pigmented so you need to be careful when applying it. A fact that I forgot when I was doing this makeup look. Luckily, blush overdose is easy to fix. Just apply some powder on top of it and blend like crazy. When I’m more careful with applying this and just take the tiniest amount, it works just fine. And looks more pink than red on my skin. I love Milani’s Baked Blushes and I have another shade of it as well (a color more suitable for every day looks). The blushes are beautiful, they have good pigment, they are easy to blend and they’re affordable.

MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Soft&Gentle*

A beautiful, gorgeous highlight. It’s quite finely milled and not too glittery. I love this product. I use this all the time in my eye makeup as well.

Elizabeth Arden Lasting Impression Mascara*

A mascara, that I got from my advent calendar last year. I only opened this recently and fell in love with it. It gives a nice volume to my lashes, but doesn’t make them too heavy.

Clarins Joli Rouge Velvet, Plum*

Pr-sample
A beautiful shade for Fall. I wrote a review on these here. I find that dark lipstick shades are tricky to apply. Every single dark lipstick I own is a bit tricky. Let me know in the comments if you know a good dark lipstick, that is easy to apply evenly and smoothly.
