Halloween Inspiration: Silver Spacebird & Neo Morticia Adams

 Halloween is a time of creativity to go extravagant with makeup & pre-play creation of might wear looks.

So I found these two stunning creations in Zink magazine (Summer actually) that seems quite fitting for the Halloween Theme. 

1. Silver Spacebird:

I'm like total "oooooh" on this creation and I do not know how to begin to marvel about her impeccable skin, the suble rose hued blush under her cheekbones, the peach shimmer on her eyelids. Those are the soft & pretty elements, which are daringly contrasted with *POW*, a deep cobalt lipstick.

Also, I have been discussing Catrice Eye-decals yesterday but how about getting yourself some vinyl tape and glue-ing them up to your eyebrows? Genius!
For the silver feathers I think spraying or buying the real bird feathers is a cheaper and lighter option than this model is wearing.

2. The new Morticia Adams:
 

 The emphasis are on that same brilliant vinyl eyebrow idea I as before: but a totally impeccable complexion is key to make the eyebrows as stricking as they are. Moreover, a good wig that has been crimped by those awful awesome crimpers that were around in the 1980s! Adding, the perfect sheer-feathered dress, some edgy black cuffs and a serious expression.

I love the photo on the right as well: a cross-over between Little Red Riding Hood & the ominious Silence of the Lambs,  only so much prettier.

The series is called "Altered Egos" by Irvin Rivera and more of it can be found over here.

Bold inspiration

I like buying glossy magazines.

It is just that I normally stick to the trusted UK ones, because for the language that I can understand.

Sometimes I step outside my magazine comfort zone, for...simply the superficial reason of the cover that promises me...inspiration!


Vogue Italia...the dramaqueen of all Vogues in the Fashion department...but their beauty edition is quite bold as well:


But it is not only theatre-esque makeup. This makeup on the eyes, for example, is something that I would not  consider myself, but it looks quite stunning on green/hazel eyes. Oh, and the eyeliner is perfect!


I like the rest of the look, although I would not think of matching an orange lipstick with peach eyeshadow...

But then again...it is good to step outside of your confort zone. After all, it is just make-up and you can wash/take it off at the end of the day!


So yeh, I might try that look (although I'll skip the curls...I had my crimping days in the 80s, LOL)

One of the more classic looks is this one:


It is the typically smokey eye with some copper red eyeshadow underneath...

Quite normal, except for that waterplant on her head...

By the way:  

Do you experiment with makeup a lot? And what was your boldest move lately?
