Halloween Makeup | Sugar Skull

Almost that time..getting into the Halloween spirit and decided to test my artistic abilities and try out some Halloween makeup.

I was inspired by the Sugar Skull that is famously known for the Mexican holiday of Día de Muertos (Day of the Dead). There are so many variations of the Sugar Skull, and its fun to put your own personality into it.

I used the Nyx cream pencil in the colour milk to make my face look more white and it worked really well! Originally I tried Halloween face paint, however it was too thick and never dried, therefore it was really hard to work with. I also used the essence eyeliner to outline any areas that needed for detail and to make my eyes look very dark.

Once I completed my Sugar Skull I realized something was still missing. I decided that purple hair would look different since its a complementary to green.

I still have alot of Halloween Makeup ideas that I want to try but i'm pretty happy with the way this turned out!

Go-To Products | Enhancing Natural Beauty

Lately I have been decluttering my makeup and skincare products by using up whatever I have so I just have my staple go-to products. I think sometimes its easy to get carried away with trying new products - and then one day realizing you have a drawer full of products that you will never use. As I have acne prone skin I think using too many products really does create havoc to my skin. My skin really appreciates simplicity.

1.) Jo Malone - Although not a makeup products this fragrance is so light and fresh its perfect for every day wear.This scent is Nectarine Blossom and Honey. If you haven't heard of Jo Malone, it is definitely a company to check out. They have the most perfect scents - scents that are rare to find in a typical fragrance store.

2.) I love putting a natural colour on my nails. To me it looks really classy and simple at the same time. This colour is Urban Jungle by Essie. I think these colours look perfect with any skin tone, and any time of year.

3.) This is a lip product that I just discovered by a brand called Gosh. I think this might be a Canadian brand - which is sold at Shoppers Drug Mart. This shade is called Sweet Moments. I love it because it enhances your natural lip colour while giving it a nice sheen. Its almost like a lip balm with alot of pigment!

4.) This toner by the brand Simple has been my go-to product for a while. It really does get rid of any of that last stubborn makeup that i still on my face after washing, and leaves my face feeling very calm and refreshed, without over-drying and irritating my skin.

5.) Wow! I cannot say enough goods things about this product. This is by the brand First Aid Beauty and is called the Facial Radiance Overnight Mask. I rub it into my skin before going to bed and when I wake up in the morning my skin looks 10x better. Its glowing, radiant - all the things that it claims to do, it does! It allows

6.) I have talked about this before, and I am still in love. This is my favourite BB Cream by Maybelline because it does not break me out and gives me that natural glow.

I love products that are natural and enhance your natural beauty. What are some of your go-to products??
