Last Minute Halloween Cat Costume!

Hey everyone! So Halloween is just around the corner and for all you procrastinators, this post should come in handy, I'm going to show you all a ,more cute than scary, cat look for Halloween. Yes, I know it's "basic" :p but it's really simple and can be a quick go-to costume, if you left it all to the last minute.  Anyway let's go...

~Makeup~

Eyes:
1) Apply your usual face makeup; foundation, concealer, powder, etc.
2) Start off with primed eyelids and stick tape on to guide your eyeshadow into a more cat like and sharp look. Follow the angle of your lower lash line.

(Tip: stick and take off the tape on the back of your hand for a couple of times to make it less sticky when you peal it off.)

3) Now, pick out a matte taupe brown colour and use it as a wash all over your lid.

4) With a matte darker brown blend it into your crease making sure there is no harsh lines.
5) Using black eyeshadow or even an eyeliner pencil just add it into your crease to darken it up and to create a smokey effect.

6) Create a dramatic cat eye with black, liquid eyeliner using the tape as a guide to help you with the wing.
7) Elongate your inner corners of your eyes by lining and extending the tear duct area, giving a cat eye effect.
8) Line your water line with a black pencil eyeliner

9) Curl your eyelashes, but focusing on your outer lashes more.
10) Apply falsies, but for a more cat eye effect, just apply false lashes to your outer lashes only.
11) Finish off with mascara blending your natural lashes and falsies together.


Mouth and Nose:

1) Now to draw on the cat features, use black liquid eyeliner to colour in the tip of your nose and septum.
2) Following on from your septum, draw a line down to your cupids bow  and connect it to your upper lip.
3) Outline your upper lip with the black eyeliner and fill it in with black lipstick or the black eyeliner.
4) For the whiskers, again using your black eyeliner draw
three lines on each cheek and finish off a few dots on each side of the corners of your mouth.

5) You can either fill in your bottom lip with a matte brown lipstick, matching your eyeshadow or go for a more dramatic matte red lipstick.

That's all for the makeup look! Fairly simple and all you need is a few staple makeup pieces and nothing you wouldn't already have in your makeup collection! Remember to peel off your tape, to reveal your angular cat eye eyeliner and eyeshadow.

For your cat inspired outfit, it doesn't get much easier than this, just throw on an all black with outfit, whether that's a pair of black leggings and a long sleeved tee or a black dress that up to you! Personally, if your going for the red lipped makeup option a dress would look more prettier and "elegant" with it, but it's up to you. Oh and make sure to not leave out your cat ears, that's what brings the whole outfit together!

That's all for this post, hope you enjoyed and happy Halloween everyone! X
