Woot!!!

[As I am typing this entry, I am staying home for the next and possibly tomorrow too as I am making the painful decision to put my little darling to sleep later tonight. For the past few weeks, she had been brave, she fought and struggled, but now now now, nothing will bring her back. But I know she will be in a better place soon.  Just a little update for those of you who have been so concerned, and sending me your thoughts.]

I have created a facebook album, and this is the public link, so you can see all 129 selected pictures from that night.  I can't possibly spam this entry with pictures.

Honestly, I didn't expect this whole halloween thing to turn out so massive. It was a rather last minutre spur of the moment decision, and we just went for it.

Basically, my sisters, her friends, and myself got dressed up and decided to go all out for Halloween this year.  We have never done it before, and it was a brave attempt. Everyone chipped in with their expertise and help in getting the materials, costumes, suuplies etc.  We started preparing at about 5 ish, and didn't leave the house til 10.30pm.   Lotsa of makeup , lotsa of hair, lotsa of everything.

Our destination was Zouk, and when all 8 of us got out of the car, everyone in the costume Q let out audible gasps of 'WOW' , and it didn't help that we completely bypassed the snaking Q and went straight to the entrance and got in without having to stand in line. It was hard moving about because on top of the crowd inside, we were constantly stopped to have our pictures taken.  I think the size of our group and how we were all elaborately dressed up really made an impression.

Then we went to Clarke Quay about 1ish, and it was another photo op there.  Tourists, strangers, were all completely amazed, calling out to us and complimenting our effort and looks and the whole time we all kept our deadly faces straight, looking very aloof but gamely stopped to have our pictures taken with them.

Frankly it felt really exciting, and I guess the disguise really allowed us to act all cool and and confident, but inside we were giddy from all the attention.  :)  After parading about Clarke Quay and having BK fries and coke, we finally went home for the night.  :)

Hi....

Took so many pictures last night, and tons of strangers took pics of the our whole entourage.  In the process of sorting out the pictures etc, but here is a teaser/ preview picture.  Full deeds of the night will be revealed in the next entry.

This is only half the party, there were 8 of us, all dressed up in similar fashion.  Can you see where we got our looks from?  My brother with the zipper look, my cousin with Misschievous' Corpse Bride look, me with the Queen of Hearts look, and my sister with a two-faced rotten look.

Hi!  Another entry which I tried out some special effects stuff, one is the MAC Halloween facechart called Deadly Dame, and the other is a trick which I learnt from Michelle Phan's seductive vampire tutorial and also makeupbyrenren's half dead zombie tutorial. What is cool about the latter is that she uses toilet paper to create the scar/ flesh thingy, and since I couldn't find any wax paste from MUFE, I thought this would be a good idea to try out.  Besides, it is kind of a waste of lash glue if I want to create a huge patch of rotting skin and wounds.  As for the MAC facechart, I actually own most of the products listed, and my gf who has quite  deep  eye sockets would be perfect to recreate this look.

Pictures time!

This is the Deadly Dame look, but I think eventually I won't draw the lines below the eyes, somehow they look 'wrong'.  I might add a bloody slash wound across the face on the actual day, and also darken the eye sockets. Hair is done by my sister, using the mask and hairpieces.

The hybrid of half dead zombie plus seductive vampire look.  I had fun making the wound!  Colors all from the 78 and 28 palettes.  They do come in handy for situations like this!

It's 9ish now at night, I am thinking of trying out one more 'gore' zipper look on my bro, but we'll see how that goes.  I think these pictures give you some clues about our costumes and persona.... Well, more images and updates etc over the weekend!  Thanks for reading!

Absolute nightmare to find out that after I finished trying out this look, that I couldn't find my darn camera.  I took some pictures with my mom's digi-cam but I am not satisfied with the overall quality.  Maybe if I get to uploading them I will post them here.  But for now, the following pictures are taken with my macbook built in camera.

Credit for this look goes to Kandee Johnson's tutorial.

As I am just playing around with the colors etc, I didn't do the hair and accessories.  Mainly I want to try out erasing my brows (which I failed, kind of, when I tried on my brother) but perhaps my brows are less bushy and thus easier to conceal.

Makeup used:

MUFE white face paint stick, set with LA Girl White Eyeshadow.

Eyes: Otherworldly paintpot, Haunting eyeshadow, brows drawn with Loreal Superliner.

Lashes: The lower lashes are from Shu Uemura and Upper lashes are some Korean brand unknown.

Mole drawn on with the same eyeliner.

Lips: NYX lip pencil to draw the shape and Russian Red lipstick.

It was fun doing this look, and I even puffed my hair up and all that, by the time I searched high and low for my camera, I just didn't feel inclined to do anymore.  So, pardon me if I look really pissed, well, I don't think you can really tell my expression under the makeup.

Lighting and everything is all super cra****Py..... but I hope you enjoy this entry anyway.  :o

* Sister is trying to fix the pictures taken with the digi cam now..UPDATED pictures below:

Maybe I will do a couple more looks ... and you guys help me decide what I should do in the end. :)

Hi hi.  Just having some fun playing with makeup.

Here are a few videos that got me inspired to do this look.

wsitn's black lips tutorial

icyabstract's Lady Gaga black lips post

And here is my little rendition.  I know this is not for everyday, obviously, but could be cool for clubbing or halloween.  I am not into cosplay and all that goth/Lolita references, but anyway... this has been fun to do and I hope you have fun reading/ looking too, and even try it out for yourselves!

I will show you some pictures of the end results, and process and explanation of what I did.

And my youngest sis helped to 'photoshop' the following pictures for dramatic effect. Click here to check out her artwork.

And some pictures of what I did in the process.

I used MAC Mylar e/s, White Frost e/s all over the lids.  Then MAC Carbon e/s and Beauty Marked e/s.  I only used these black and white colors to blend. 

I also used Carbon e/s to fill in my brows.  And I used MAC's Smolder eye kohl pencil to really rim my eyes.

Clean up any fallout and mess after this part.  I also put on my lashes - Shu Uemura's Smokey Layers.  And I used Maybelline's Lash Stiletto for lower lashes.

I also used Silky Girl Silver liner pencil to highlight just under my brows and on the inner corners.

On the rest of my face, if you noticed, I look much paler/ fairer almost alabaster skin tone.  I used Studio Sculpt Foundation, set with MSF natural and powder Maybelline's Translucent Looser powder over -- I got mine in the shade Porcelain which is way too pale but is completely appropriate with this all black look.  On the cheeks, I contoured using MAC Omega e/s and then use MAC Pink Swoon blusher.

Now for the fun part, the BLACK LIPS.  Of course, I don't have any black lip products.  I used MAC Carbon eyeshadow.  Then I added clear gloss (MAC Clear Lipglass) over.  I also 'erased' my lips with concealer.

If you think getting fallout from eyeshadows on your face is bad, try getting fallout from black eyeshadows inside your mouth.  That's priceless.  LOL.

Black rosette hairclips from HM.   I also colored my hair jet black a couple of days back... so that adds to the BLACK theme for this look.  On my nails, OPI for Sephora Dark Room.

That's all, and thanks for reading!
