Neala: Pumpkin Make-Up 4 Ways for Hallowe'en

Pumpkin Make-Up 4 Ways for Hallowe'en

Do you ever have an idea in your head and you cannot rest until you have made it into a reality? I am pretty much like that 24/7 and this pumpkin make-up concept was no exception. For these looks I was inspired by Hallowe'en's most iconic root vegetable. As pumpkins are traditionally harvested during the Autumn months, I wanted to incorporate squash colors into two wearable looks as well as two Hallowe'en ones. Furthermore, I have done a pretty and simplistic look per category. The video itself is a speed tutorial and clear for for those competent in make-up. Apologies to those who are a little less knowledgeable and skilled in make-up but hopefully watching me and reading the product list will give you an indication of what to do. If at any time, you would like a normal paced tutorial on any particular look, just let me know and I will be happy to oblige. Hope you enjoy.

Look 1: Day Time Spiced Pumpkin

This look I wanted to do with a grunge girl twist. I packed sepia toned shadows onto the lid and purposefully left out a strong winged liner. I personally prefer looks without liner as they tend to look more contemporary and of course are much more forgiving on the eyes (especially my 29-year-old baby wrinkled ones). I teamed the eyes with rosy cheeks and opted for a deep aubergine matte lip. I changed the lip two more times. Once with a burgundy red centre surrounded by the original eggplant purple and again with a custom-made squash tone which was favorite of the bunch.

Look 2: Night Time Pumpkin

For my second wearable pumpkin look, I wanted glitter and glamour. I went with a striking black and orange halo eye with abstract winged liner and a vivid orange inner corners. There is glitter everywhere! I wanted some serious highlight on my cheeks and mixed my products to achieve a beautiful warm glow. I kept the lips simple and almost bitten looking with a sheer matte berry lipstick. Of course you could add layers to intensify the color or even a gloss for a different effect. I think the squash lip option from the first look would look amazing with these eyes.

Look 3: Pumpkin Masquerade Princess

Perhaps in concept, this look was the driving force behind this entire video of tutorials. From this idea of a Pumpkin Princess was born the following look and and the two previous wearable ones. For this I wanted to incorporate a masquerade mask, as if Pumpkin Princess was at a ball and so I continued on the make-up application from the previous look, making the eyes a central focus of the look. In-keeping with the color selection I chose a Linda La Hughes style wig and drew a pumpkin on my face. I changed the lip to a deeper squash colour and added some glitter and a little carved pumpkin nose.

Look 4: Evil Zombie Pumpkin Queen

The fourth and final look for this series is where the Pumpkin Princess fell into a ditch of rotting pumpkins, died and became re-born as the Pumpkin Queen - but much more evil and zombie-like. Surprisingly, this was the easiest look to achieve and the quickest despite it appearing to be much more complicated. It took less products than all the other looks but it was also the messiest and hardest to clean up.
