Happy Halloween!!~ I came across this picture on Melt Cosmetic's Instagram page and instantly felt inspired. I have been hoarding this picture around in my camera roll, knowing that I wanted to recreate it, and figured Halloween would be the perfect occasion to give it a go! You have probably noticed by now how much my obsession with glitter grows during the Halloween season, so of course I fell in love with the idea of covering half my face in it!
Although I did refer to this picture throughout the beginning of creating the look, I ultimately let my imagination and creativity take over. About halfway through, I realized how galactic I was becoming and decided to really play up that idea to transform into this glam galaxy alien!
I'll say it again, sometimes painting your décolletage makes for the best costume. I wanted to appear as if I was a haunting- but alluring creature of the galaxy. By incorporating the colors from my forehead I was able to create the galaxy print on my neck area. To achieve this cosmic look, I used a combination of disposable sponges and blending brushes to apply colors and face paint.
Despite using hairspray for the areas where I wanted the glitter to be more concentrated, it adhered nicely on it's own, to not only my décolletage but to my face as well.
