At work, we had a most festive holiday attire contest. I chose to be a reindeer...Rudolph to be exact. I posted earlier on my blog...pics of me with all of the reindeer makeup. However, the pic above is of a more subtle tone. The primary things I did was use contouring makeup. I used a very light yellowish color and a very brown color...both were a very thick powder. I used the light color all around my eyes, upper cheeks, chin and forehead immediately above the brows. I issued a very dark brown and contoured right under the cheek bones, temples and hairline on forehead. I then used a fat white eyeliner pencil to make my fawn dots all over the sides of my face. I used a gel eyeliner in black to make my eyes very dramatic like the outer eye lines of a deer. Again, the above picture is a toned down version, but you get the point. Below is my more dramatic photo with full makeup on. I have a much more dramatic eye. I also used the same gel eyeliner to draw the line from my nose to my upper lip and to color in only my top lip. Believe it or not, I used red matte lipstick on my nose and covered my nose in red glitter. It worked great. The picture here does my red nose no justice at all. So, if you need a creative costume idea for Halloween or Christmas, here you go. Super easy. There are many tutorials on youtube to show you how to achieve this look, but I didn't want my look near as dramatic as those created on the youtube videos. Thanks for letting me share!
