Halloween!

'Morning Ghouls! How was your Halloween night? :)

Mine, although short, was pretty fun. Spent most of my afternoon doing zombie makeup for me, my Bf and a friend. My BF was supposed to be Mr.Giggles, but we thought it would be better if we all went as zombies ^^ 

We were supposed to go to Zombie Walk, but I couldn't finish the makeup in time, so we got there late and missed it :\  

We stayed at Bairro Alto and met some friends there. That place is always packed with tourists, so lots of people from different countries asked to take pictures with us cause they loved our costumes, it was pretty awesome :D  I wish I could have a copy of all those pics. We met people from Spain, Turkey, China, India, USA, and obviously fellow portuguese ^^

Oh! And I almost forgot, we went to a supermarket eariler to buy some liquor, we got a bunch of compliments and a little kid screamed and cried when he saw us, eheh, poor kid ^^

Later we went to Monster Walk, which was pretty crappy, we got bored and didn't stayed 'till the end. We then decided to check out Metropolis Club, Ronny Moorings from Clan of Xymox was gonna be there as a special guest DJ, but when we arrived we decided not to bother to go in, the music was pretty terrible for my taste, we stayed at the door of the club chatting for at least 20 minutes and all I could hear was Skrillex, dubstep, electronic music..  nah, thank you. We decided to call it a night then, since I was up since 7am and a friend since 6:30am, so we were pretty tired.

 

And here are some close up shots of my makeup :D Notice the little rat nomming on my shoulder.. I named him Xavier :P

Hair Horns look

Cute look I like to do when I have the extra time to play with my hair ^^ Pretty simple but adorable. Might do a little tutorial on this, what ya think? :D

( My bangs were huge here :o)

MOTD 3 - No eyebrows makeup

I was lazy and not in the mood to draw my eyebrows, I just wanted something simple to go out do some grocerie shopping, but it got a little out of hand :P To be honest a simple makeup doesn't really look that good with no eyebrows :X And I feel prettier lookin weird anyway ^^

Zombie Walk LX poster

For the people who follow my blog and are not aware of it, I'm a digital artist and graphic designer :) So from time to time I do some pro bono work for non profitable organizations that defend noble causes or that I just find interesting and need some help with the design department. That's the case of: Zombie Walk (Lisbon)! How can you not love zombie walk? This is my first year at ZW, finally! I got so mad the past years cause I coudn't make it :< So this year I wanted to get envolved has much as I could. So I decided to help them desining the poster.

For my main inspiration, I though, right of the bat, retro horror movies posters, of course! B-Horror, Grindhouse and obviously, posters from George Romero's films.

Main characteristics: Bright and very few colors (sometimes monochromatic), grungy, very charismatic typography, regular use of sillhouettes.

And this is what I've come up with! A main red version and I also did a greyscale one as a request from the organization.
I added a very simbolic bridge of Lisbon, 25 de Abril bridge, to give it a personalized look, 'cause this is not "any" zombie walk, this is Zombie Walk Lisbon, and it's gonna kick ass :D
Aaand it's on Halloween, so I don't have to overthink my costume any longer.

MUOTD 2 - Zombina Makeup

Pretty "normie" makeup ^^ Purple and green eyeshadow for the eye + black eyeliner. Full on red lipstick on the top lip, and just a bit at the bottom corners, then smudged to the mid section.

I still have purple hair, for some reason the red part of my bangs were covering the purple, so the eyebrows look a little off here :P

MUOTD 1 - Sunset makeup + replying to comments

Makeup I used to do often when I had my old hair, I think it matched perfectly ^^ Lately I haven't dolled up much so I have to post old pics D: And I've been feeling ill for this past couple of days, so at the moment I'm lookin like a mess :(

I've also wanted to clarify, that for some unfamiliar reason to me, my blog doesn't have a "reply to comment" button, so although I appreciate all the comments made, I can't answer them. So, thank you for the people who have been commenting! I'm not rude I promise, teehee :D

Getting ready for Halloween - Say hello to Mr. Giggles!

Halloween is almost here, woo-hoo! Most adorable night of the year :D This year I haven't been thinking that much about costumes until now, I think I'll fix my own costume with stuff I already own and with the lovely help of make-up ^^  I've also been practicing some face paint on my BF - So say hello to Mr. Giggles!

I know the photo looks like crap, but it's just a tiny sneak peak, I wouldn't want to reveal Mr. Giggles right away :D You'll have to wait for Halloween for the complete look, it still needs improvement. Meanwhile, I'll have to think about my make-up to match this level of creepiness.
