Evil Sorceress/Exotic Bird Theatrical Halloween Makeup!

Evil Sorceress/Exotic Bird Halloween Makeup!

Hey everyone,

So to say that I struggled with naming this makeup look would most definitely be an understatement. I wanted to create something different and unique so I just kept on adding things as I went along. There was certainly no sort of plan or structure to this look. As my last Halloween look was more gory and creepy I wanted to do something a bit more girlie and colourful. I am really happy with how the look came out. I definitely think the huge feather lashes and the dark blue spots over the cheeks and neck complete the look. A wig really is optional with this makeup but I will add pictures of it with both. The ,makeup looks more dark and spooky with the black wig so perfect for Halloween. 











I really want to get back into filming my Theatrical Makeup Tutorials again on Youtube, especially now it is Halloween time I want to do a load of different Halloween looks. I uploaded this look onto my YouTube channel 'VintageRose90' so if you would like to see how I achieved this look and what products I used then please go and check that out. I would appreciate it so much if you could hit the thumbs up button on the video, leave me any feedback (requests etc) and subscribe to my channel. The support would be great. Here is a link to the tutorial:

Gory Cuts & Bruises Halloween Makeup- Special FX Effects

Gory Cuts & Bruises Halloween Makeup- Special FX Effects

Hey everyone,

First of all I apologise for the lack of blog posts recently. I have been super busy with work and a-levels but I really want to get back into blogging religiously especially as it is now coming up to Halloween I will be doing a lot of Makeup Looks. So I wanted to do something very gory and creepy. I had no sort of plan or intention of what I wanted this look to turn out like so I just went with it and I ended up with this bloody, zombie like mess! I had fun doing this look and of course it is perfect for a Halloween party, perhaps a Fright Night or even trick-or-treating. This look does not need any sort of expensive costume, I would just wear a plain white t-shirt, cover it in fake blood and scruff up my hair. To achieve this dead looking skin colour I just used a Snazaroo white face paint and did a lot of shading and conturing with a black eyeshadow. The cuts and slashes on the face were created by using liquid latex, tissue and black & red lipsticks. I also used some brown paint and then wet, dripping fake blood. 








Any questions on how I created this look please leave me a comment and I will happily help!
