The One about Halloween Ideas that are cruelty free!

This is something new I want to try because I love makeup and I love cruelty free! So I hope this will help encourage you to go cruelty free this Halloween and still look amazing!

Fall is an amazing time of year. Especially if you're like me and love switching up your entire routine to make it warm and fuzzy in time for the start of winter. And its really hard to keep up with going cruelty free when it Halloween.
There are 20 days till Halloween...but who's counting right? Halloween is great for us but there is a rise in costume makeup meaning that there is a rise in the sales of makeup products tested on animals. Again if you're anything like me then you love your dress up and you love your costume makeup and you don't really want to let that part of your year fly away because who would? So here are some of the best looks you can make using cruelty free makeup!
I'll be teaching you 2 step by step makeup looks, for females, that use animal cruelty free makeup and are incredibly easy to do! (I will place links to where you can buy the products at the end of the post)

CANDY SKULL!

Candy skulls are incredibly popular and super creative although they can be off putting due to the heavy detail however it's not that hard!

1. Start by painting you entire face in white by Manic Panic Dream Tone Foundation in white. Leave your eyes makeup free but leave a circle around them that goes from just above your eye brows to just bellow the half way point of your nose. Make sure they're as equal as possible!
2. Set it with a translucent powder by No.7 Boots. You don't have to place it all over the fact just in places that you tend to get grease so that the makeup doesn't drag.
3. Now using a concealer brush or your fingers if you rather pat on a cream eye shadow in blue by New CID Cosmetics Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow in  Cobalt.
4. Moving on from the eyes use the same blue eye cream and using your fingers blend it into the dips of your cheek bones where you would usually contour, and bend it slightly over the tops of your cheeks so that it adds more depth to your face. (as on the picture below)
5. Begin to add a small amount of blue on the end of your chin using a canceler brush and make three points at the top. (As on the picture below)
6. Using a black cream eye shadow begin to blend it on your eye lids and start to smoke it out slightly below your water line and slightly above your crease. Using New CID Cosmetics Long-Wear Cream Eyeshadow in Zinc.
7. Using the Zinc colour blend some of it into your check contour in the centre so that it adds a deathly feel to the look and blend some of it into the centre of your chin piece.
8. Once again use the Zinc cream and using a concealer brush start creating an cobweb with a point shape on your forehead,. The point must start from between your eyebrows and follow your eyebrow shape (as seen on the photo below) Then start to make 3 individual straight lines and begin your cobweb.
9. Use the black eye cream and your concealer brush to create the nose piece. Start by following the shape the ball on the tip of your nose and streak two line upwards on either side of your nose.
10. Create line on your lips that run from your top lip to your bottom lip. They don't all have to be equal.
11. Decorate your face as you want it with glitter or other forms sparkle. In the photo they use blue sequins. You can add fake lashes and eye liner in your water line if you wish to add a deeper effect.

Cat!

This look is a more simple look compared to the one above but is still highly effective.

1.   Start off by using your normal foundation (if its not animal cruelty free try ones by the beauty shop or MUA) however if you are very fair skinned try using a foundation that 1 or 2 shades darker and make sure you blend it into your neck so that it doesn't look like a mask.
2. Start sculpting your eyebrows using a brown eyebrow pencil and try following the natural shape of your eyebrow. Use light and fast strokes to recreate the look of natural hairs.
3. Highlight the brow bone using a white or beige eye shadow. For example i - shadow
   Eyeshadow Quad with Mirror by New CID cosmetics has a perfect example of a highlighter. Although it is a little pricy so if you want to use one that you favour that's fine as long as it is cruelty free of course.
4. Start contouring your face using a powder contour your checks, nose and temples using MUA Luxe Contour Bundle in Medium/Dark.
5. Using a liquid liner or a cream eyeshadow begin to create a cat wing on your eyes. Make sure it is thick and as equal as possible on both sides.
6. Using a cream eyeshadow or eye tint by MUA in black begin to colour in the ball of your nose.
7. Using a black lipstick by Manic Panic only paint your top lip and use a peach tone on your bottom lip, the peach colour can be purchased at MUA or The Body Shop, and link your cupids bow to your nose using a straight line with either you eye tint or lipstick.
8. Create freckles using your eye tint to create the effect of whiskers.
9. add fake lashes if you wish and the look is complete.
