You probably think that I'm obsessed with Halloween... That would be correct. I don't think Halloween makeup should be hidden away until October. It's all year round over in Catie-Land.
This is a look that I've tried doing so many times but decided that I hated the way it was turning out and then ripped it out. Actually, that is sort of a lie. I just wanted to do the mouth thing. The clown idea came from my mommy. She's a great sport. I walked in to her room after I finished this and said, "Mom... I don't think I'm going to make any friends in college..." and she looked at me and said, "Why?" and I said, "Are you kidding?! Look at me!" And she shrugged and said, "So?"
My mommy supports my hobby.
Anyway, I'm not going to go in to all the details, but basically, I built up the mouth pieces with latex and tissues (latex is not my friend today), and I ended up with about 5 or 6 layers. Then I used Mehron 3-D Gel to smooth out the edges. I used Mehron Clown White all over my face and set it with Graftobian Face Powder. Then I used Ben Nye cream paints to shade and color the mouth. For the cheeks, I used Urban Decay's Quickie cream blush. For the eyes, I used the Coastal Scents 88 palette. Lashes are Andrea Lashes #33.
The blood I used was Ben Nye, I think. Be very careful when applying it. It drips on clothes.... I learned this the hard way. I guess this is my new painting shirt....
Clowns and huge lashes,
Catie
P.S., also be careful when covering your eyebrows if you choose to. Normally, I would have put them up much higher, but my glue and latex ripped. That's why they're all messed up looking.
