Vampire Makeup for Halloween

vampire makeup
Halloween is just around the corner so I decided I should play around with some
makeup. Our theme at the salon is community service workers which is a bit boring for me.

Last year, we were bag ladies. I loved it!!! I even made my own paper mache pigeons!

This year for community service workers, I decided I'll wear my nurse costume and make it more fun by being a night nurse vampire style, Ivana Bytyu

Most people do vampire eyes very black but I think mysterious smoky purple eyes will do.

Pale skin, purple smoky eyes, purple blush and red lips will work. 

How to do Purple Smoky Vampire Makeup

I started by using a foundation a few shades lighter than my skin color and mixed in a light Youngblood CC Perfecting Primer in Bare in plus a bit of luminizer to create a reflective surface. 

Urban Decay lip liner in Manic with Gash lipstick makes nice vampire red lips.

I used Urban Decay eye shadows for my eyes. Freakshow, asphyxia, roadstripe, oil slick, polyester bride and my favorite black matte, blackout.

Freakshow doubled as contouring/blush and roadstripe worked great as a highlighter on my cheekbones. Asphyxia and roadstripe have an awesome iridescence. They create a great ghoulish look for a vampire!

Some of these Urban Decay colors may be hard to find. The Urban Decay Ultra Violet palette is a good option. Here is an Amazon affiliate link to find some great UD Shadows.


I think my eyebrows need more drama, though. I'll really fill them in for Halloween. 

Some fangs are also in order. The Halloween store will have them. I'm almost ready. 

Vampire Fang tip: the adhesive that comes with the fangs from the Halloween store doesn't work. My friend Michelle bought some denture adhesive to hold her fangs on. It worked great!

White Bumps Under Eyes: Milia

Have you noticed that you have little white looking bumps under your eyes? Some people call it chicken skin because the bumps look like plucked chicken skin. 🐔 Most likely those little white bumps are milia. They can feel hard or pearly. These bumps are not acne. Milia can occur when dead skin cells become trapped beneath the outer layer of skin. Keratin becomes trapped and builds up. A small benign cyst can form which is the milia. It's a cyst!?! Don't let that word scare you. They are harmless, but unwanted bumps.  They can occur on any area of the skin that tends to be on the dry side. They cannot be squeezed out like a blackhead or pimple because they have no opening. A layer of skin covers them. A hole must be created in them using a needle, then they can be extracted out.

Why does my lipstick change color on my lips?

So, you found a gorgeous shade of peachy nude lipstick.... right on trend. It looks amazing in the lipstick tube but when you put it on, it turns orange within 15 minutes!  It happens to me all the time. Pigments in the lipstick react with the chemistry of the skin and change color. This color shift is due to the pH of the skin. Our skin has an acidic pH of 4.5 to 5.5. It varies slightly from person to person which is why lipstick changes on some people and not others.  The oil, sweat and bacteria on our skin create a protective layer called the acid mantle with its pH of 4.5 to 5.5. The acid mantle can change due to how we treat our skin.  The skin pH can change due to the environment.  The sun, as well as pollution, can affect skin's pH.  What we eat can affect the pH of our skin.  Sweating and cosmetic products can also change pH.  The skin will always try to get back to 4.5-5.5 no matter how we abuse it.  Use gentle pH balanced skin care products, eat a healthy diet w

Dermatofibromas

This post is all about dermatofibromas and some remedies to help make them look better and ways hide them. It includes my Amazon Affiliate Links to help you find the products I talk about. Q. I have this brown bump on my leg that won't go away. What can I do about it? A. It could be a dermatofibroma. I see them often on my leg waxing clients. A dermatofibroma is a tan to brown benign raised bump more common in women than men and occur commonly on the legs. The bump feels hard under the skin and can be itchy, tender and easily irritated. A doctor will tell you not to worry about it because it's benign, but it's kind of ugly! Dermatofibromas are also called Benign Fibrous Histiocytomas. They are the result of some sort of injury to the skin such as an ingrown hair or a bug bite.  Be careful when shaving because a dermatofibroma may bleed and become sore if nicked. Don't think you can get rid of it by shaving it off. It will be an awful looking sore and will j
