Get up and burn an X in your head

So this year, we got to dress up. It was Lily's first Halloween and I was NOT about to let it pass us by.

Hubby went as Hellbilly Deluxe Era, Rob Zombie. My son went as the Crow. I went as a Zombie bride and Lily went as Pooh Bear! Since I refuse to use cheap makeup on my face it just stands to reason I won't put it on them either. So I thought I'd detail what I used on them as well as showing the pictures. All of our makeup, except where noted, is from Aromaleigh.

Hubby's makeup was;

Face:
Silk Powder
Janes Addiction Mix
1y - 2 layers with damp flocked sponge
1l - 2 layers with damp flocked sponge
Ghost - 1 layer with damp flocked sponge (he's paler than my son so didn't need as much)
Janes Addiction Mix
Metamorphosis - 1 layer with Kabuki brush to pull any remaining warmth from his skin

Eyes:
Ebony all over
Back in Black Rocks for the Gradient beneath the eyes

The red X was done with a cheap lip liner from another brand

You can't really tell but I did fake dreads in hubby's hair. Twisted it while wet in sections, secure with bobby pins and when it's dry take the pins out. Worked fabulously!

My makeup I couldn't begin to tell you what I used. A lot of purples, reds and blues though! The first pic I've digi-scrapped, the others I haven't gotten to yet.

She wasn't crying because she was scared. She was crying because she didn't want her pic taken! All of our Jewelry is from Alchemy Gothic.

Most of the pieces are long retired. The Mourning Veil I bought from Gothic Auctions about 8 years ago!


My Sons makeup was:

Face:
Silk Powder
Janes Addiction Mix
1Y - 2 layers with flocked sponge
1L - 2 layers with flocked sponge
Ghost - I lost count of how many layers with flocked sponge
Metamorphosis - 1 layer with a Kabuki brush to pull any remaining warmth from his skin
Another Layer of my Janes Addiction Mix

Eyes and Lips
Nothing but Ebony Matte



And a few more.









Next year, I'm making Lily's costume. A little goth princess.
