So Halloween is coming up and I am Ex-Cite-eD! I've created 3 special effects looks for those who are interested in looking like death for Halloween :) My first look, is this slashed mouth look inspired by the movie Gone Girl. I watched the movie Gone Girl recently and I thought, "How would I create my own death if I was Amy? What would be a cool way to go out?" No, i'm not psycho lol, but i thought about Halloween makeup and what that would look like. Now I’m not saying I’d go and fake my death, but playing with special effects to make it look like I'm dead is a fun second :)
For this look I used a small bottle of Mehron’s Rigid Collodion scarring liquid to create the scarring effect on my face. Rigid Collodion is a clear solution that you apply to your face (or wherever you want to create scarring), and when it dries, it wrinkles the skin. To create deep scarring like I did for this look, apply the liquid onto the area of your choosing and repeat until you’ve reached your desired look. The only problem I had with the application of the liquid was the little brush that came with the bottle. The liquid dried so quickly on the bristles that the brush became stiff after a while. It was difficult to deposit the liquid onto my skin without peeling the product off of the brush beforehand. It was a lot of work, but totally worth it.
For my face makeup, I mixed Mulberry and Espresso from the Lorac Mego Pro palette and placed the eyeshadow all over my eyes and the orbital bone area. For a full list of products I used, I listed them below.
