So firstly I just want to apologise for the lack of posts recently, but I have been super busy, but don't worry I have a few posts to come this weekend.
Now this beautiful little lion in the picture below is my younger sister Beth , and for a Halloween party she decided to go as something a little different and chose to be a lion. We didn't want to make her look like a cartoony lion or someone with just whiskers drawn on.
So the focus of the outfit as you have probably already guessed was the hair. The way we got this huge hair was to start by back combing her really old extensions and when I say back comb them I mean back comb them until they were like a one big knot. Then she back combed her new extensions but not in the same extreme way as the others. Then she added the extensions to her own hair and back combed that to blend everything in, pushed back her fringe and added her cute little furry ears.
Now for the make-up as the hair is so big and eye catching I decided to keep the make-up pretty simple so not to take away focus from that hair. Now Beth is used to wearing black eye liner as her usual make-up look, so this was something a little different for her. First I evened out her skin with collection 2000 lasting perfection concealer and Mac's studio fix foundation and then I set this with a translucent powder, I contoured the cheek bones slightly with a bronzer, and highlighted the top of the cheeks with a mac mineralized skin finish. For the eyes I used the gold colour from the Urban decay naked pallet over the lids then used the colour smog to create the crease and cat eye look, next I added quite a few layers of mascara and finally used beehive lipstick from boots 17 to finish off the look. ( Oh and don't forget to paint on a little cat like nose)
This look was super fun to do and really enjoyed it , and I couldn't quite get over how huge her hair ended up being.
