Just a few pictures from the past year of: Bridal makeup, Prom makeup, Halloween makeup and different looks I did on myself. Enjoy! ❤️
As you all very well know, Halloween (my second favorite day of the year) came and went yesterday! Just last week, I wrote a post on Halloween and my undying love for it.
And let me just say this year did not disappoint!!! There was dress up fun at work and then I took some little ladies around trick or treating ( I may have snagged a few treats for myself as well 😉 )
Introducing, POP ART Girl (or Comic book girl, whatever.)….most people thought I looked pretty cool, but had no clue what I was. Google Roy Lichtenstein!!!!
This is probably one of the easier looks I did this year, but by far my favorite! ( I NEED Blue hair now!!!!)
I also got to do some fun Halloween looks on some friends/clients yesterday!
Shauna always wanted to be a zombie when she grew up! …..so I made her a zombie bride for the day! 😉
Chantal wanted something scary ,but not too scary to take her little girl out trick or treating! …so I made her into a “Black Widow” or “spider queen” , just like the look I did on myself Monday past.
Next, I did lovely Alana’s makeup! She was going as a Coca Cola Bottle ( her Boyfriend was going as Captain Morgan!… Clever!! ) For Alana, we basically just did a silver and red eye with red lips to go with the colors in her dress!
All the girls and boys at work got dressed up as well yesterday! Really wishing I had a group picture of us all, but here is one of my faves from the day (taken by Sarah Jane aka Cruella Deville)
and what would be a Halloween post be without a little Throw back!
Myself (cool as hell vampire!!) …My sister, Courtney was a Dog (fitting because for the first 6 or 7 years of her life, she really thought she was a dog, cat or horse, depending on the day)
and my friend Chantal (Spider queen pictured above) was a brat!!!…I mean, baby! 😛
Hope everyone had a super awesome and safe Halloween last night….and just so everyone knows, I am currently taking donations for any leftover candies too fyi! Also, Its undecided what I will do with my time now that October is over and I don’t think it would be acceptable to keep doing Halloween makeup on Mondays anymore.
Must. Find. New. Hobby……………or as I was told by quite a few people, adopt a dog or have some kids………………………………………………………………………………….

I am probably driving everyone “batty” with all my Facebook and Instagram posts about Halloween! But, here is another just to make sure I cover all forms of my social media outlets!!! 😉
I don’t remember being that overly excited for Halloween as a child. I mean, it was kind of fun to dress up as a gypsy, vampire, cheerleader, clown, black cat, etc. I almost always had these costumes made by my lovely Grandmother until I got a bit older and it was no longer “cool”.
When I was younger, You couldn’t of paid me to watch any Halloween or scary movies or TV shows. I’m still working on being courageous enough to watch the “Saw” movies. I HATE gore and blood and anything overly violent (so sensitive) But since I’ve met the BF, I can proudly say I have watched most of the Jason and Micheal Myers movies ( It still counts if I covered my face for most of them though, right?)
Anywho,
In high school and university years… Halloween was a bit different! As Lindsey Lohen said in Mean Girls ” In the regular world, Halloween is when children dress up in costumes and beg for candy. In Girl World, Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can dress like a total slut and no other girls can say anything about it.”…..Preach, Girl!!
*covers face in shame*
Fast forward a bit of time and now Halloween is one of my favorite times of the year (minus Christmas, I LOVEEEE Christmas to the point of being annoying! Can’t wait to bust out the ol Reindeer Sock Bun again 🙂 )
Being an “adult” and I use that term lightly…I love Halloween & watching children come trick or treating in their cute, little costumes. I also love the Candy and chips and bars and pop that is left behind when only 10 kids come to the house!! ( however, my waistline does not…..)
I also love the fact that as I got older, my Halloween makeup skills have got a bit better!
