I was asked to do the makeup for the Halloween special again this year for TOWIE
The theme was mythical creatures so wasn't necessarily your typical gorey bloody scary looks.
Below i will list the products used and tips on how to create the look for yourself this Halloween!
Ricky Rayment
For Ricky Rayment's look we went for a reptile man!!
The ripped skin effect was created with Latex and tissue!
I use Kryolan Liquid Latex!
This is applied in layers in the shape you want to create, allow to dry the tear from the inner edge to create a ripped skin effect!
Inside i used black face paint from Mehron. This is a water based product that sets dry.
Using a punchinelo effect stencil to create the scale effect! This was applied using a mehron neon green powder. I used a stipple effect with a small stipple blending brush from my contour set from Spectrum brushes visit www.spectrumcollections.com they have some amazing brush sets that are really versitile and can be used for beauty makeup and blending for theatrical makeup too. They wash really well so don't be afraid to use them for the heavy stuff like this.
I then used a mac foundation to blend out over the latex to make it skin coloured and then i added some Fresh Scratch from Ben Nye around the latex for the blood effect
I love fresh scratch as it has a really thick texture and looks really realistic. It also stays wet looking hours later.
Mario Falcone
These contact lenses were from Luvyababes fancy dress shop in Manchester
They give a great effect to any halloween look.
Marios bulging alien like forehead was created with was moulding wax. It is attached with spirit gum shaped and moulded onto the head to the required shape then covered in liquid latex.
Once set to dry i sprayed the face silver with airbrush face paint and blended black/grey and silver to add depth to the look.
This can be enhanced even further if you have time by adding detail like scales dots patterns stripes. I had limited time to do 8 casts members in 4 hours so was short on time to intensify this look further.
I would usually like to have at least 2-3 hours for this type of look alone
Lydia Bright
I love this look on Lydia we went for a bird inspired effect!
Contacts were also from luvyababes - Manchester
The liner underneath the eye was created with Illamasqua black gel waterproof liner. I used my eyeliner brush from mu line and define range from spectrum brushes (www.spectrumcollections.com) then added Illamasqua sealing liquid and black glitter pressed on top
Tip
When using glitter have some scotch tape ready to get rid of any unwanted glitter fall out.
Lips were created with the same illamasqua black gel set with lipcoate and
illamasqua sealing liquid with an iridescent glitter pressed on top.
Feather lashes i ordered on ebay. These added to the bird effect and tied in with her feather head piece and theme.
Ferne McCann
To create the mask effect i used masking tape and sprayed silver i then used marbled gold leaf on the eye lids and around the eyes. Soft Ardell demi wispies were used.
Creeping vines were hand painted up the neck and facewith mehron face paint and an eyeliner brush from my line and define set from spectrum brushes (www.spectrumcollections.com)
I then randomly dotted coloured gems around the vines
Billie Faiers
This Ice queen look was created using-
Silver metalic powder as a base around the eyes.
A selections of crystal effect gems and jewels Blue candy from Mac
Blue lipstick with ice white glitter
Kryolan jewelled lashes
Georgia and Tommy
This lovely pair decided to go as matching mermaid and merman
I made this stencil by printing a scale effect onto paper laminating it then carving out the shape with a craft knife.
I used this on the arm neck and side of the face on both georgia and tommy
I did a glittery green eye with dramatic lashes on georgia with a red lip
