FOTD: Inspired by Selena Gomez in "A year without rain" video

 This song has been my obsession the past week or so. After watching the video i was inspired to try and re-create her makeup look. It's very simple, yet fancy enough to wear on a nice night out. Reminder that this is not an exact replica of her makeup since i dont know what exact products she used, but you can use what you have and make it work. Hope you like it! =)

Hope all of you had a lovely and safe Halloween weekend. Mine was pretty relaxing: just hanging out all dressed up with some friends, watching scary movies, eating some candy,cookies and popcorn... very original right? lol! 
So my costume was a last minute thing...literally. I came up with the idea the night before and just took a stab at it the nex morning and this is what i came up with. Basically i was the ghost of Alcatraz prison. I always have so much fun packin on makeup to look like lifeless, it's not something you do everyday lol 
Here's a quick breakdown of everything i used:
Physicians formula liquid mineral foundation in Ivory
Rimme London powder
Ulta eyeshadow in Chestnut (mostly for contouring and crease)
UD e/s in Darkhorse (lid and all the way down below the waterline)
Sally girl e/s in Sage (middle of the lid)
UD e/s in Perversion (a lot below the waterline)
Milani liner in waterline
Ardell 105 lashes
Barry M Marshmallow l/s
Revlon Peach petal l/g
