Happy Halloween- Open Wound Zombie Bite

Oh hi kitty cats!

Halloween is this week so here is a little picture tutorial for anyone who may need to create an open wound (can also be a bite mark) and you don't have time to run to the costume store. Everything you will need can be purchased in a supermarket or drugstore. 

Here is what you will need:  

• A palette~you can use a disposable plate.
• Ripped up toilet or tissue paper. Pull the paper apart to make it single ply and make sure the ripped pieces have jagged edges. 
• Duo Glue~this is the glue you use to apply fake eyelashes.
• Sponges
• Fake blood~If you don't have any on hand, you can make some. Click here to learn how to make fake blood.
• Foundation
• Powder
• Black eyeshadow~not shown
• Q tips~not shown

Step 1: Using a sponge, stipple a layer of Duo Glue on the area you wish to make your wound. 

My sexy gams. Everyone calm down!

Step 2: Take ripped tissue paper and apply over the Duo Glue. 

  Step 3: With your sponge, stipple some more Duo Glue over the tissue paper until it is glued down to your skin.

Step 4: After the glue has dried, apply a thin layer of foundation to camouflage the white paper. If you are using white or grey body paint (because you're a zombie), then go over the paper with whatever color your skin will be. Powder over the foundation to dry it a little more.

Step 5: Take another sponge and stipple fake blood all over the wound. You can apply a thicker layer of blood over the areas you would like to make look like puncture wounds or deeper cuts.

Step 6: Take a Q-tip and apply black eyeshadow to the area's that you would like to look deeper or like dried blood. You can then stipple a little more blood over the shadow just to blend it a little more.

          

     

Voila'! Open wound/bite:

 

You can clean up the edges if you want to, I chose to leave it as is because I thought it looked like scratches. You can also drip some fake blood under the wound. If you don't have black eyeshadow, deep purple will work as well. 

Remember, if you can't fly with the big girls, stay off the broom!

Happy Halloween Kittens!

Kiss Ever EZ Lashes

 

Have I mentioned that I hate fake eyelashes? 

No? Well let me tell you about it. 

I can't stand applying fake eyelashes to myself or anyone else.

I find it tedious. I don't like sizing the strips, waiting for the glue to get tacky and taking a deep breath while I try to get these sticky spider legs attached to my lid without f-ing up my eye makeup.

Also, it is quite the sexy look when you have that stray strip that won't stay down and you end up looking like my drunk Aunt Matilda.

What I do love is the way lashes, applied properly, make your eyes look. 

They instantly make your eyes sexy, your lashes young and flirty and your makeup look pulled together.

I was never one of those girls who can apply fake lashes in the blink of an eye, without even thinking about it. It was always a chore for me. 

So imagine my happiness when I stumbled upon these little cutie pies while in CVS. 

Instead of a full strip or those little annoying single lashes that you find at the end of the night on your cheek, this is like a mini strip of three lash clusters. 

I cannot stress how quick and easy these are to apply! Even a beginner should have absolutely no problem applying these, they are that user friendly!

AND they look natural not like Nellie the cow, moo-moo lashes. 

So I like to apply two longer sets towards the outer edge and one shorter set towards the middle so it all blends in together but you can mix it up and do whatever looks best on you. 

These are so easy, I may never leave my house without them!

They take about 5 minutes to apply, you should still let the glue get tacky like you would with regular strip lashes. I apply a little dab to my palette or even the back of my hand (although sometimes I then find it in my hair-duh), do a little dip/drag through the glue and let it get tacky. 

Then apply.

These were about $6 in CVS.

 They do not come with glue so make sure you pick up a tube if you need it.

Until next time flirty eyes~
