Love It or Hate It? Heidi Klum's Halloween Cat Makeup

BellaSugar — Thu, 01 Nov 2007 11:57:44 -0700

Heidi Klum sure goes all out for Halloween! Not only are her costumes amazing, but her makeup is perfect too! I love the glitter around her eyes, the dirt detail all over her face and check out those red and yellow Thriller-esque contact lenses. What do you think of this crazy cat concoction on Heidi?

Are "Couples" Halloween Costumes Cute or Corny?

DearSugar — Wed, 31 Oct 2007 13:00:47 -0700

As a child, I was very into Halloween. So even now, I still get myself to a bar or party every Halloween, and I always dress up.

Some couples go their separate ways when dressing for Halloween, while other mates opt for couples Halloween costumes. If I happen to be with someone when Oct. 31 rolls around, I make it a point to plan our costumes so they match. One year, I was a bee and my boyfriend was a beekeeper (aww). What do you think: Is dressing up with your significant other cute or corny? Please share in the comments.

BellaSugar — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 09:00:02 -0700

Don't you wish that instead of getting candy on Halloween, you could trick or treat for beauty products? Imagine coming home with all kinds of eye shadows, lip glosses and creams that you and your friends could trade-how much fun would that be?! Check out these pictures of Heidi Klum at her Halloween party last year. The details on her eye, lips and neck is amazing.

Below is my roundup of Halloween beauty stories. I hope these looks have given you some inspiration for Wednesday's festivities! If you have any more looks or ideas that you'd like to share, please leave a comment.

Do Tell: Do You Dress Sexy or Demure on Halloween?

DearSugar — Tue, 30 Oct 2007 07:00:00 -0700

Do you dress up in funny costumes or sexy costumes on Halloween? I like to be safe and stay somewhere in the middle, but I know many people who use this holiday as an excuse to get all dolled up to look like their sexiest/sluttiest self. So ladies, since Halloween is just around the corner, do tell, is your costume sexy and attention grabbing or more reserved and innocent?

Halloween How-To: The Feisty Devil

BellaSugar — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 07:00:21 -0700

Get your sexy on this Halloween and transform yourself into the fallen angel. This look can be interpreted in many different ways, but what I loved about this photo was the crazy wig, the soft face and the bold eyes and lips. The goal is to play up your best feature and then exaggerate the heck out of it. Below are some product ideas for this fantasy she-devil look.

FACE: If you really want your lips and eyes to stick out, then your face should be flawless and natural. Even out your skin tone, conceal any redness and apply a foundation that best suits your skin tone.
CHEEKS: Apply a simple, hint-of-tint blush such as Laura Mercier Blush in Wild Bouquet and blend along your cheekbones. A dewy highlighter would also be great for this look.
EYES: Here comes the fun part! You can rock out your eyes with any kind of neutral shadow you choose (since your lips are going to be bright). Then, go crazy with your lashes. You can either get fake white or silver lashes, or you can apply two coats of silver glitter mascara and line your eyes with a metallic liner.
LIPS: Apply a hot pink or a bright red shiny gloss for a seductive, bold mouth.

Lastly, I think she looks just a tad too sweet. I would add some fake blood on my hands and my cheek or something so people know you aren't messing around! For a quick and easy beauty recipe on how to make your own fake blood, read more

This recipe is pretty easy to "cook up." You'll need:

Measuring spoons

Medium sized mixing bowl

One Tbsp water

65 drops of red food coloring

Ten drops yellow food coloring

Five drops blue food coloring

Five to Ten Tbsp white corn syrup

Beware, this will stain your clothes.

Step one: Mix all of the food colorings together in the water.
Step two: Slowly stir in the corn syrup until the mixture is just the right thickness.
Step Three: Carefully add "blood" to your skin wherever you want it to appear.

Do Tell: What's Your Favorite Halloween Memory?

DearSugar — Mon, 29 Oct 2007 07:00:00 -0700

Gearing up for Halloween is always fun, but the holiday has a whole new meaning when you're a child. My brother and I would be excited for weeks for our yearly routine: we'd rush home from school, have an early dinner with the family, get dressed in our costumes, and head out with my parents' best friends and their kids to go trick or treating in our neighborhood, come home, and dump all our candy out in the foyer and trade for our favorite kinds, mine being Reese's Peanut Butter Cups, of course!

Thanks for letting me take a trip down memory lane, so ladies, your turn, do tell, what are your favorite childhood memories about Halloween?

Temptalia's Golden-Girl Halloween Look

BellaSugar — Thu, 25 Oct 2007 07:00:34 -0700

I'd planned to feature a bunch of Halloween makeup how-to stories, with myself as the guinea pig. But then I saw what some of you are doing, and heck, you're totally showing me up! CocoChic's looks were amazing, and now here's another from Temptalia. A lot of you probably know Temptalia from her beauty blog, where she shows how to create tons of different looks. We met in person right before San Francisco Fashion Week, and I was stunned to find out that she's completely self-taught.

She says she's not bowled over by this look, but I think it's pretty cool. She used MAC Silver Fog pigment, Carbon eye shadow, and Immodest lipstick, with a bit of "cheap black liquid liner" as well. The gold-toned photos have been Photoshopped, but the silvery one is unretouched. Check it out:

CocoChic Tries Out Two Halloween Looks

BellaSugar — Wed, 24 Oct 2007 08:00:43 -0700

Last week, I showed you some Halloween looks from MAC. Well, TeamSugar member CocoChic has been one busy lady-she managed to do not one, but two of these looks. When I first saw these pictures, I thought she'd gone to the MAC counter to get them done. But nope, she did it herself. She called it a "feeble attempt," but I beg to differ! Check out the original diagrams and CocoChic's real-world interpretations here. (And if you have some Halloween makeup or hair of your own, message me and I might share it with readers!)

For CocoChic's details on how she created these looks, read more

"I started with Crackin Up. I covered my face in pearly white eyeshadow and covered my brows with concealer, my BE foundation, and clear brow gel. I lined my eyes with black pencil. Then, I used a dark brown and champagne colored eyeshadows on my lids and LOTS of mascara on top. I put some pearly pink eyeshadow on my cheeks and nude lipstick on my lips. Then, I took the black eye pencil and attempted to make the cracks the best I could.

"For the Zombie face, I started by covering my brows in concealer. I smudged dark purple shadow on my lids, then took a burgundy shadow and brushed it all over my eyes, my brows, the bridge of my nose, temples, and cheeks. I took the white shadow from the first look and covered the parts of my face that didn't alread have shadow on them. I covered my lips in concealer, put the white shadow on, and lined them lightly with black eye pencil. I smudged it all up so that my lips looked like the rest of the skin around them. I then took the black pencil and made the contour lines under my cheekbones. I smudged that and added some of the dark purple shadow on the sides of my nose, near my eyes. Finally, I took the black pencil and drew on cracks like I did in the first look."
