Dress The Pirie's!

The group costume we have chosen for Donald and his family is The Little Mermaid themed!
 Since Donald said his son wanted to dress up as a mermaid we thought this would be perfect!

First off is Ursula! 
This costume is £94 and the make up would take it up to about £120
The make up for ursula is really fun to do, here's a really good tutorial on how to create her look

Next is Ariel!

Not much make up for this, other than the basic girly makeup and a long red wig (on ebay)
If you want a really good costume, prepare to pay up to $100 
and the red wig is here for £449.99! (yikes)

And finally for Donald, King Triton!


This one is amazing, hope you look good in blue Donald!
The make up for this could be just some basic old man, wrinkled make up.
You can find all of the accessories on ebay, even some fake abs! This costume could cost well over £150 if you're splashing out on a good tail and accessories. 


Pretty cool Halloween make up idea!

I've seen quite a few youtubers do this look for Halloween tutorials and I think it's pretty cool and fairly easy to do! The picture is fairly self explanatory but it's a real life comic book character!
You won't need to spend too much money on this look, you'll need black liquid eyeliner, a selection of face paint and any comic book-like outfit. I'd say you wouldn't have to spend more than £20, if that. Most people can find all the stuff in their house.  If you wanted to go all out then you could buy yellow hair spray and cover your hair then style it into a fixed position like this. All you gotta do is cover yourself in white or red dots and outline your face and main features with eyeliner OR black face paint, colour your lips red with a highlight, add a few bright blue tears and you're good to go! 
I think this is a great look for Halloween, and certainly something a bit different! I might try it out and post a picture of it at somepoint this week
Here's a few youtube tutorials you can watch, all different styles so you have a bit of choice!

Everyone should have this in their make up bag!

This is a pretty easy decision for me, it's a definite must have and such an amazing product!

It's....drum roll please.....Collection's Lasting Perfection Concealer!

This stuff is a god send for under eye circles, blemishes, highlighting, the lot! I use it everyday and have recommended it to so many people. I think the best thing about it is that it's only £3.99! It's bragged about all over the make up world by so many MUA's and beauty gurus (they prefer it to a lot of the high end concealers) which is what made me try it about a year ago! I've been hooked ever since, can't tell you how many tubes I've gone through. It's an absolute steal and perfect if you're on a budget. It still amazes me how good quality it is, perfect amount of coverage without looking cakey on the skin. It comes in 3 shades, some would say that's not very good but they're good shades which match most peoples skin tone!
You can get it in most beauty shops or online here! :)

You can watch one of my favourite blogger Zoella's  youtube video where she raves about this product here! It's about her favourite products if you want to watch it all but if you just want to skip to the concealer then go to 6.33 mins in!
 


For my second choice it's gotta be YSL's Touche Éclat Radiant Touch, I agree that this is an amazing product, little bit pricey but if you're willing to splurge on yourself a bit then go for it! It's an amazing highlighter, if you're into contouring then you'll love it, or if you've just lost a few hours of sleep and don't want everyone to see it in your face! YSL are a high end company, but you can't deny that their products are very well made, everyone should have a YSL product in their collection!
