Halloween costume idea: Queen of Hearts

Allo mes jolis amis.

Wlecome back.

Halloween is coming up, so I thought I share with you my costume idea.  When’s the best time to decide what to be for Halloween party then now. I chose the most frantic person from my favourite cartoon Alice in Wonderland-Queen of Hearts.



Naturally, I wished to add to her character my personal touch. Thus I’m wearing a black dress and black high heels in order to bring a little Rock’n’Roll to the style. I also added the black leather jacket to complete the look.



Next up is makeup.





 For my foundation I’m using the Maybelline concealer, BB cream (because it’s lighter on the skin) and translucent powder to make my face smoother. Next I’m using my lovely BRAND NEW NYX Natural palette, which I absolutely Love. If you read my blog post ‘’October wish list’’ you’d know that I planned on buying that palette because I really like earthly colours. I have brown eyes and I think that these colours really complement them, and, besides, I love natural colours.  In this palette firstly I’m using at the end of my eyes the darkest one. Then, I’m blending that out, and adding a little bit brighter brown colour next to it, and again blending it out together. And finally, I’m putting on a second shimmery light one on the rest of my eye, and also in the corners of my eyes. After blending it all out, I’m then putting on a Sephora eyeliner to finish up my look. I’m extending a bit more eyeliner so I can later on draw a little heart using red lipstick with a lip brush and eyeliner. For my lips I’m applying concealer and then translucent powder to make it like my natural skin. Then I’m drawing heart using a lip liner and filling in. After, I’m applying Kate Moss lipstick gently trying to follow the heart shape.


For my hair I'm using two toilet paper rolls, a 8 bobby pins for both sides,a teasing comb and a hair spray.
Separate your bottom part of the hair from your upper part and tie up your bottom part with a headband so it doesn't go in your way.  Then, separate your upper part into two(one on each side) then tease both sides. Take the paper roll securing with two bobby pins the end of your hair, and then starting from bottom, roll your hair up from your face. It is important to roll it tight so it doesn't come off very easily. Secure it again with the other two bobby pins. Repeat the process on the other side. If you have bangs, you can use them to cover the front part of the roll, but if you don’t, do not fear-just move around your hair to cover up just the paper roll. Since I have naturally curly hair, I won’t curl my bottom part, but you can use your curly iron. Then spray the whole thing with the hair spray and you’re good to go. 




To sum all up I drew a heart on my chest using only an eyeliner and lipstick and spraying all with a hairspray.
So, that’s it for now. I hope this gave you an idea for an easy Halloween costume. 

Be safe, strong and happy.


Yours truly,
