I ABSOLUTELY LOVE HALLOWEEN! :D
This year I wanted to do something a little different for halloween due to the fact that I was going to be dressing up more than once and wanted to save the real gore for the big party! (This one was just something I threw together quickly before I headed out to work!!!)
For my alternative to gore I decided to paint my face as if it had been cracked open / smashed. I found some reference pictures on the internet and set to work on this little beauty below, which only actually took me about 40 minutes to do. I was pretty unsure about it at first as the black lines on their own looked a bit crap, so I had to go in with some white highlights and some bronze eyeshadow for shading. In the end it turned out really well though, however it was sometimes often difficult for people to make out what the face paint was meant to be in person as the contours on your face (in person) make it a lot harder to decipher. When you're showing someone a picture, your skin looks flatter and you can see the illusion much, much easier!
I'm very happy with how this turned out though! Shame halloween can't be more than once a year! I love doing crazy make-up!
