Puss in Boots Halloween Makeup

10:49 AM

Hey everyone. I'm home sick from work today since I woke up feeling rather pukey. Bad news for me, GOOD NEWS FOR YOU! A new blog post. XD

So, I absolutely love dressing up. I am a theater geek at heart and participated in school plays and musicals from 7th grade until my senior year of high school. I feel like Halloween is one of those times where you can have a great excuse to be really creative not just with the costume but also the MAKEUP! I know I teased my Halloween costume before in the Snowy Ice Princess tutorial with my cosplay cat ears and paws I got. Well I did a little DIY at the last minute to make the rest of my outfit for Puss in Boots.




I bought a foam pirate hat, sword, feather, and ribbon from Michaels. Luckily, with coupons in tow, my total was less than $11! Process: black-out pirate print, hot glue ribbon to edge of hat, glue side of hat up with feather.


Then I cut holes into the hat and pinned the cat ears on both sides. Masking taped the inside so the pins didn't snag my hair. ^^


And here is a look at my makeup. Can you tell my foundation is 2-toned?




Here's a list of what I used:

Face:
Graftobian Hi-Def Foundation Palette (lightest foundation for around
mouth and eyes, darker orangey foundation for cheeks, nose, and forehead)
Graftobian Concealer Palette
MAC Blot Powder

Nose:
Mac Fluidline in Blacktrack (contour sides of nose, outline cat nose)
NYX Cream Blush in Glow
Ben Nye Grande Lumiere Palette (Ice + Azalea)

Eyes:
Too Faced Shadow Insurance
Ben Nye Grande Lumiere Palette (Iced Gold and Tangerine)
Revlon Colorstay Quad in Copper Spice (dark brown for contour)
MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack
Urban Decay 24/7 pencil in Zero
False Lashes from Sugar Cosmetics and Model21
GEO Annex Ring Black circle lenses

Lips:
Graftobian Concealer Palette (upper lip and edges of lower lip)
NYX Round Lipstick in Doll (dabbed on inside of lower lip)

A couple better pics with the hat on!



This reminds me of Captain Kangaroo for some reason. Anyone else remember that show?


My full costume. I already had the top, skirt, and bustier.


And a couple from the party! You can see a bit of my tail here.


What is this gorilla behind me?! (you can see how short I am here, LOL)


The gorilla of my dreams! <3

Hope you all had a Happy Halloween! Let me know what you dressed up as in the comments! ^^

    you look soooooo pretty! i'm so used to seeing the revealing halloween costumes and such, this is so refreshing and adorable :) are those contacts? cause you're totally pulling off the "puppy-dog eyes" or in this case "kitty" haha.

    love the look! hope you had fun :)

    Wow, your makeup looks almost natural! LOVE how you used two tones of foundation to resemble a cat so naturally. You actually resemble that second picture of the cat from Shrek (I forgot his name). I love your circle lenses and lashes btw! :D

    Awwwwww, the big circle lenses totally make you look like Puss in Boots! So cute! Without the need to be skanky!
