"There is a place. Like no place on Earth.
A land full of wonder, mystery, and danger!
Some say to survive it, you need to be as
Mad as a Hatter. Which luckily I am."
For whatever reason, Halloween this year has been a challenging one- costume wise. I pondered ideas for WEEKS on what I wanted to wear to a costume party this past weekend, and could not make up my mind! Thankfully, I have lots of concepts for Halloween makeup, and a closet full of gaudy accessories that helped me achieve this last minute- but pretty awesome Mad Hatter Halloween glam!
This Mad Hatter makeup is one you can truly have fun with; let your creativity take over and put your own spin on it. Like myself, for instance. I knew I wanted to incorporate the colors in my jacket, while looking for inspiration from Tim Burton's version of the Mad Hatter as well. The cool part, you don't have to make it perfect- we're mad! No matter what skill level, you will be able to achieve this look!
The Mad Hatter's color of choice is orange, so I definitely wanted to use this as my crease/transition shade not only for my eyes, but throughout the entire [makeup] look. I wanted my eyes to be very colorful and overdone, almost watercolor like. The key to this is blending.
Of course I had to use glitter in this look somehow, and once again chose my brows! The Mad Hatter rocks very long, un-tamed brows. By using a variation of shadows and a lip pencil, I was able to fill in and thicken my brows before applying the glitter.
Because the eyes were the main focus, I wanted to keep my lips somewhat simple. I decided on an ombre lips that also incorporated like colors to balance the overall look.
