Halloween at Fashion Crimes isn’t your regular Halloween.
Here we take it very seriously, so serious in fact- that we dress up for almost an entire month! Our staff are also having a costume-off and at the end of the month and we will be featuring a winner, so please comment with your favorite picks of the week!
This weekend past (October 11 & 12) was our first weekend of crazy costumes and Halloween excitement that can be found within the abundant inventory. We saw Nuns, Flappers, a lost member of the Jonas Brothers stopped by, as well as the Spice Girls in full girl power force!
Saturday : (L-R) Carly as a glamorous Pirate complete with a Cardinal in place of a parrot, Sister Carrie looking very authentic, Kat as a flight attendant from “Kitten Airways”, Logan as the 4th member of the Jonas Brothers (complete with a purity ring!), Katrina - the not so French, French maid, Kanchana as a fun flapper straight from the dirty 30’s, and Robyn as a fierce kitten.
The Spice Girls on Sunday called for an appropriate soundtrack adjustment.
A liberal application of Studio Fix Fluid in NC15 was applied to Robyn’s face to give her that milky complexion and powder pressed pores, for the perfect photograph.
Paint Pot in Bare Study was then stippled onto the eyelid using the 249 large shadow brush. Special attention was paid to the lower lash line, blending Paint Pot slightly with the foundation under the eye which gives a smooth transition from pinkish tones to more yellow in the foundation.
A crease is then defined by patting Wedge eye shadow, which is a medium brown, into the crease line and then blending outward to contour the eye.
Jet black liquid liner is applied over the upper lash line and plucked out in a slight wisp, building its thickness mid-eye to give a ‘cuter-than-cute’ baby doll eye shape.
Using Silver Dusk Iridescent Powder and a small fluff brush, a small dusting is applied to the brow bone and eyelid. Doing this can blur harsh edges and give a nice glow to the eye area.
A small coating of mascara is used to intensify the eyes, opening them up and giving them a ‘wide-awake’ appearance; just like Miss Deschanel.
After the eyes are complete the lips are next to be defined.
Using Pinky Eyeliner, which is exclusively sold at MAC Pro stores only, line the lips in a sweetheart cut, dipping down on the cupids bow of the lips. This will give that carved look that Zoey is known for. With a clean brush blend Mauvelous Lipstick over top and seal the deal with a top coat of clear lip gloss.
Use these two blushes to get the flushed and contoured look. Layer both Tantone and Breath of Plum blushers to the face. Both have a matte finish so it will appear more natural and will be more striking when photographed.
