I wonder how many of you get a little wistful after Halloween. TV networks stop re-running vintage horror flicks, pumpkins disappear from stoops and seeing ghosts on every other street corner becomes a rarity once again. This year I’m just going to keep the spooky-time spirit alive and bask in scary movies, pumpkin spiced coffee and candlelight all winter long, while I hole up making new artstuffs.
Not that it’s really winter here, but you know what I mean.
Last week, I asked the willing to share some photos of their versions of calavera makeup, and discovered all sorts of goodness in the comments section today. Check out these cranium cuties:
I painted A-face before a party on Saturday, too. I’m thinking he needs to add this look into regular rotation.
Admittedly, I was lazy this year and went with a Jill Bioskop “costume“. My costume-planning time was limited and it’s the one look that allows for multiple shades of blue makeup in addition to blue hair and a blue manicure, see:
I do so wish I’d had time to better document the outfit, but it was not meant to be. Here are a couple of ever-awesome agent Yoon’s party photobooth shots, to compensate.
i’m so sad, we don’t really celebrate Halloween over here, like in the US :( the 2nd make-up is my fav, that sugarskull is wicked!
There was no Halloween in Russia, either, which must be partially why I love this holiday so much.
awe – thanks for posting my picture :) that blue is killer on you. i’m always tempted to go colorful, but i have so much damn hair, it would be a pain to keep up.
Thank you! So inlove with this deep, dark shade. Have you thought of dyeing a section? easy maintenance, less root upkeep!
Have you seen, I think the movie is called immortal. The main woman would fit nicely with your color of hair and be slightly more for very little work.
Ryan, “Immortal” is based on the Nikopol Trilogy, which is where my costume of Jill Bioskop came from. It’s the same character!
Aww, yay! My skull-face is on here!
And Sarah, dyeing a section is definitely easier upkeep. I can’t keep my hair crazy because of my job, but I can get away with a couple of pink streaks I can pull back when I’m working. It’s super fun. I can sympathize with tons of hair, though. It’s a blessing and a curse.
Where did you get that top from? It’s gorgeous!
Graeth, thanks! It’s a discontinued Lip Service dress I added texture to with fabric paint.
So cool! Love the dark blue-purple hair, it looks great on you.
I miss my teal hair… *sigh* Damn job hunting. You’d think it wouldn’t be such a big deal in 2011.
Maybe I’ll be able to get away with super-pale touches of color or something, one day. Good thing I do it myself at home, or experimenting would mean, like, *never eating*. EVER. LOL
Woot! Thanks for the mention! I do envy your ability to find the right hue to match hair, lips, fingers, eyes (and presumably, toes?) I’ve been rocking the teal/purple for around 5 years now and am usually saddened by the selection of nail and lip color in a tealish hue- i like to err on the blue end.
I’ve been looking at buying that dress online; do you think it would be accomodating to girls with rather over generous chests?
Your hair is also uber pretty right now- don’t think I could deal with the upkeep though!
Baddass as usual! I would love to see the rest of that dress, it looks amazing.
I never get to dress up on Halloween anymore, I’m always on zombie walk-organizing duty. No complaints though, this year we had over 1000 zombies.
WOW! I adore your hair! and these photo’s are so so so so so so so so BEAUTIFUL!!!!
Wish I had the time to be on the ball about my makeup so I can go to beautiful extremes! xx
