Halloween Inspiration

Okay so I was looking through some of Michael Parks work, and was so inspired! I think some of the looks could be great Halloween costumes or just designs. Hoping I can pull it off and recreate/reinterpret some of his work. Really, really cool photos, check it out! Click here.

Purple Look

This is just a gradient, deep purple to lilac, look. I lined my eyes with black eyeliner(any will work). Then I placed the middle matte purple color from Wet&Wild's ColorIcon palette in Lust. Above that I places the purple with gold flecks from the Beauty Buzz Trio Eyeshadow palette in 03. I then blended where those colors met. The next color I used was the soft lilac color from L.A. Colors 12 Eyeshadow Palette in Chic. The last color I used was for the highlight. I placed the white purple from the Beauty Buzz Trio Eyeshadow palette in 03. The one adjustment I made to the look was that I set my eyeliner with the black purple from the Wet&Wild ColorIcon palette in Lust. This color is black with purplish red sparkles. For the lip I just used a red lipstick(any will work); over this I put a blue lip gloss. I don't know the name of the color or the name of the brand, since I've had it forever and the paint is all worn off, but Halloween is on the way, so maybe you can find some then.

Halloween

If anyone has any requests for a look or tutorial, please let me know. I'd love to hear from you! I can't promise that I'll do the look, it all depends on how complicated it is. Starting September 1st I will start to do the Halloween looks/tutorials, but I'll accept requests up until two weeks before Halloween. I love Halloween, and I'm super excited for it!
