Eleven days away from Halloween, who's excited?
Granted it's not my favorite day ever but it is always fun to pretend, dress up, or do your makeup in a new and cool way. The most popular I have seen so far is the Skeleton look. Done in different ways of course but all based around the same theme but not all of us want to be scary or look alike! So what are some other cool unique looks for your night out in the streets?
Before I show you a few looks I've tried, let's take a look at a few of the top trending Halloween costumes for 2016.
Most of you use Snapchat, I not so much! Nevertheless, Party City predicts that the Top Halloween Customs this year will be Snapchat filters. I know, I was like what?? Who wants to look like Rainbow Vomit? Well, apparently a few of you do!! LOL!! Which is a little bizarre but hey, this is a free country?!
Some other Snapchat filter looks you can try is the Flower Crown Filter, just grab a quick bundle of flowers from your local dollar store! Make a flower wreath crown and wall-la! You can add a few braids in your hair, a cool hippie outfit and you're ready ta go! For your makeup, try to match the color of your flowers to your eyeshadows and lip color.
Play the real life Pikachu from Pokemon Go! This costume you know will be everywhere. I think we should try to catch every one of them we see!! That will teach them! LOL!! No, I'm kidding but it will probably be a bit of an overkill.
Another one I think that will be on every girl, woman and child are Harley Quinn inspired looks. I've already been seeing it in my news feeds on all the major social media platforms. Not a huge fan of her either, especially for a younger child, but I can be on the prude side.
I always tell my kids you can be anything you want, except something downright evil. So no demons, or ghosts, or anything that has a really dark stigma. I don't believe it should be an all out forget what I believe in and honor the Devil type of day. I try to keep it fun and about getting to dress up and eat lots of candy. It's a fun day, not a day to worship Satan. Just my take, I know some people who live for this day. Which is fine, that doesn't bother me one bit. It's just not what I want for my house.
As they were younger that was easy but now it has been a little difficult to keep a handle of. Like last year, I broke my own rule and went as Chucky. I know right?? How horrible was that?!! Great example MOM!!
So this year is kinda shot as my oldest daughter who is almost 14, is going as a Zombie and my youngest who is 9, is still undecided. She takes forever to make up her mind and will probably change it after the costume has been bought. Happens every year!!
This was their last year's costumes, she was Daryl and Katie was a Skeleton.
I think one of the most popular Halloween costumes this year will be the candidates for POTUS. Clintons and Trumps from all over the world, competing for your candy! LOL!! It will be interesting to see who we see more of? Let's do a vote, do you think there will be more Trump or Clinton mask costumes? Comment your answers below!!
Superheroes are always great, nothing is better than a cool looking Spiderman, Batman, or Wonder Women. Personally, I prefer Cat Women! She's the cat's meow!!
These Face charts are trending big time. So I picked one I liked and gave it a try.

Here are a few of the looks I have tried out so far this year.
For this Comic book look, I used a black eye pencil and palette #5 on my eyes. The bright colors really helped make this look POP! It is one of my favorite Halloween costume looks.
I used palette #3 for this look. It has the perfect shades of purples and pink undertones. For the silver white color, I used palette #5.
For this look, I tried a traditional doll look!
Not the best in the world but the cool thing about all these looks is I just used my Younique Palettes! I currently have the brand new number #5 and originally I had #3 which is shown in the picture above with the fabulous wig I'm wearing! That is all I used, plus a normal black eye pencil. I want to do a look that most people could do with the makeup they already have at home.
We all have some sort of eyeshadow in a variety of colors. Plus, I wanted to challenge myself. Using normal Halloween makeup would have been much easier, especially doing a skull or skeleton look because of all the white used. My goal was to show you that you can use what you have and still walk away with an okay look for a fun night out with your friends or be hanging out with the Kiddos.
