FOHN (Face of Halloween Night): Superficial Girl's Sugar Skull

Hi guys! I wasn't going to do anything for Halloween this year (besides festive nails), but I felt inspired by the cute and apropos sugar skull tutorial by Superficial Girl. Sorry it's not original makeup, but I will definitely give credit where it's due :) And I thought it would be fun to show my party look, even though I didn't design it.



  I wasn't getting much use out of this Kat Von D Metal Orchestra palette (another over-the-top look can be found here), but when I saw the tutorial from Superficial Girl, I realized this look was that palette's calling.

Makeup used: Lancome Teint Idole Ultra foundation (not pictured), Benefit Realness of Concealness mini "fake-it" kit Boi-ing concealer on lips, e.l.f. Blush in Gotta Glow all over, Kat Von D Metal Orchestra palette "first class" (shimmery white) all over, "techno" (blue next to the white) around eyes, "lucifer" (matte black) on nose and lids, Smashbox Limitless Eye Liner in Onyx to trace around eyes, around blue sockets, and doodles all over face.  Wet n Wild Fantasy Makers Mysterious Maven kit deep blue lipstick (I used the eyelashes from this kit in this look), Fairy Drops Mascara (not pictured).  Actually, the Mysterious Maven kit came with a blue and black eyeshadow duo, so if you own a shimmery white single eyeshadow you could do this whole look with that $4.99 kit (though I got it 25% off for about $3.75), plus it comes with shimmery navy nail polish!
