Scartacular!

So as everyone knows that it's time for Halloween! I absolutely love Halloween, it's my favorite holiday, other than Christmas. I'm one of those people that loves to be scary. I just love to put on weird somewhat gory makeup. Why? I don't know I'm just weird like that. So I decided this October, up until Halloween, I'm going to be giving you guys ideas for costumes as well as Halloween makeup tutorials. Anyways, while I was being bored, I came upon a picture, on none other than the god almighty Pinterest, of someone with a fake scar. I was like, I gotta learn how to do this! You would think making a realistic and 3D looking scar would be hard, but honestly it's one of the easiest, and realistic looking makeup effects. If you don't like to go all out for Halloween than this is great for you! Or you could just use this as a detail to contribute to your look. This literally takes like 10 minutes, and it could basically be your whole costume.

What your going to need is pink lip liner, rigid collodion, some lip gloss, and some concealer that matches your skin tone. I got my rigid collodion here. Rigid collodion is the most important for this because it adds the affect that your scar is actually in your skin. When rigid collodion dries it wrinkles the skin as it dries creating the scar affect.

Step One: Create A Base

First you want to take your lip liner and make a thin sketch on your face where you want the scar to be, I also smudged it a bit so it wasn't as perfect. It works best on the cheek areas, because they have the most skin for the rigid collodion to wrinkle. I make my scar shape in somewhat of a line, but not to straight because you want it to be natural, it's ok if it's not perfect, because no scar is perfect.

Step Two: Add the Collodion

Rigid Collodion comes in a bottle somewhat like a nail polish and you paint it on the scar just like you're painting a nail. I suggest putting on about eight layers just to make it noticable. If it still isn't as deep as you want just add some more layers, it's basically up to you how many layers you want and how deep you want your scar.
  

Step Three: The Details

After the collodion dries, put a small amount of concealer on the scar to make it a little more like your skin. Put the concealer on the scar by dabbing it on, then blend it. You don't want too much concealer, because you still want to see the pinkness of the scar.

Lastly add a bit of pink lip gloss to the scar to finish it off.

Fancy with Fall...

      So this weekend I'm leaving the chilly air of Park City and catching a flight to California for my Uncle's wedding! I'm way excited because California is where it's at! Anyways, I thought it would be fitting to make a hair and makeup tutorial for a black tie occasion in fall. I really like this look because it's really simple and will match any outfit, plus it's super fast. I don't know about you but the faster I can get ready the better, plus I have more time to relax. So without further a due the tutorial:


Makeup:

First I started with a BB cream because it's natural and not too heavy I like the maybelline BB cream because it doesn't have too much coverage that makes your face look cakey, but it has just enough to create a nice and even tone for your face.  


 Next I put concealer, from Sephora, on the spots that needed it on my face, as well as under my eyes.

 

Blend the BB cream and concealer together.

Then to make everything stay and not get shiny, cause no one wants a shiny face, I put on some pressed powder from Rimmel.

Now for the hardest part:
Then apply liquid eyeliner to the upper lashes starting at the end and applying to the inner end of the iris.

To finish it off I put mascara from maybelline on top and bottom lashes.

 Finished makeup look!

 Time for the hair:

 First take a section of hair on right side and twist to the back.

Next take a section of hair on left side and pull back without twisting it. Secure with clear elastic.








Then curl your hair with a curling wand and make small ringlets. Hair spray your hair to make it stay. I personally am not the best curler, so your hair will probably look much more cute and curly... Here's some tips on curling your hair http://www.wikihow.com/Use-a-Curling-Wand

Finished!!

So this is the the finished look, my dress is a navy blue lace dress and I just put some skin colored heels on to match.
