00:00I'm Lucy Fink and this is 5 Days of Halloween Makeup.
00:07AHHHHH!
00:07Hi everyone!
00:09Welcome back to another episode of Try Living with Lucy.

00:16And if you're already subscribed, welcome back!
00:19This week I'm going to show you 5 Halloween Makeup Looks.
00:22As you know, I am not a makeup artist at all.
00:25I am just following YouTube tutorials here and seeing how they come out.
00:30I'm starting off on Monday with this pop art look that I found on Promise Fawn's YouTube page.
00:35After tying my hair back and priming my face with ELF Poreless Primer,
00:39I put on Makeup Forever Foundation with my Beauty Blender.
00:43I started this look out with a Ben Nye palette.
00:46I used the black to line my eyebrows and I laid it on very thick.
00:50Let's hope this comes off.
00:52I used this same black pot to draw lines on my nose.
01:01cheeks, and my eyelids.
01:03Next I used the yellow Ben Nye color on my eyelids, but it wasn't quite as yellow as I wanted
01:09it to be.
01:10So I introduced the Mehron palette and just went all out on the eyelids with that on top of my
01:16liner.
01:17Something that I learned here is that you really need to draw these lines based on the shape of your
01:21own face.
01:22You cannot copy someone else's YouTube design for this shape.
01:26This is really based on your eyes and your eyes alone.
01:29Next I used a Revlon liquid liner to make a wing on the side of each eye.
01:34And then I lined my lower lids and added these little extra lash lines on the bottom.
01:39I put on cherry red lipstick to finish it off.
01:43Then outlined my lips in black with my trusted liquid eyeliner.
01:48I even filled color around my nose with the black liner.
01:52But the thing that really made this look pop was adding a bit of white Ben Nye makeup to my
01:57lips.
01:58Lastly, I outlined my jawline.
02:00Wow!
02:02Wigs really change everything, especially on Halloween.
02:06And I had to cut the bangs a bit on this wig because they were a little too long.
02:10But once it was done, I felt like this look really came together.
02:14I didn't look exactly like Promise, but I felt like I made this look my own.
02:19And then when I was done, I took to the streets of New York to see what people thought of
02:23me.
02:23It is very tough living in this city.
02:25There is so much craziness happening around us at all times
02:28that people don't even turn for a second glance when they see a girl on the street in pop art
02:33makeup.
02:37At the end of the day though, I loved this look and I was really happy with the way it
02:41came out.
02:44On day two, I wanted to do something a little bit creepier.
02:48So I went for a half skull, half Lucy look.
02:51Don't we look like sisters?
02:54For this look, I followed YouTuber Rocksaurus' tutorial.
02:57I started out by priming my full face with e.l.f.
03:01And then using Makeup Forever foundation on only half of my face, the Lucy half.
03:06I used the ColourPop blush bronzer palette to add some color.
03:10And one of the earthy tones from the Pinky Rose eyeshadow palette onto one eyelid.
03:16I made it a little smokier with a black color.
03:19And then used my Revlon liquid liner to make the line more defined.
03:24And I followed it up with mascara.
03:26Next, I added a red Maybelline matte lipstick to half of my lips.
03:31And just like that, I was halfway done with the look.
03:34But now is when it gets hard.
03:36On the other side of my face, I applied non-toxic white face paint.
03:41I slathered it all over with a brush.
03:43And then to get into the crevices, I used a wedge.
03:46At the very end, I added the Ben Nye white color just to fill in some areas that were not
03:51fully filled in yet.
03:52Next, I outlined all of the areas that I wanted to be black with my Revlon liquid eyeliner.
03:58And I used black face paint to fill them in.
04:00In the YouTube video I was following, Roxy outlines her face in brown ahead of time.
04:05I just decided it was easier for me to freehand it with the black paint and the liquid liner.
04:11I added those black accents to my nose.
04:14And then I took my liquid liner and I drew a long skinny line from my lip towards my ear.
04:19And then drew even smaller lines branching off of those.
04:26And blended them out with my finger.
04:30I added a black face paint line from my hairline to the top of my teeth as a sort of
04:36hollowed out jaw look.
04:37And then I used the Pinky Rose black color to add some shadow to the teeth.
04:41It wasn't until I used my NYX jumbo white pencil and I made my teeth look a little whiter
04:47that I felt the look really came together.
04:50And I touched up the look by just adding one more layer of white Ben Nye around my face.
04:55I didn't use the same face paint as Roxy.
04:57And I'm going to be honest, mine felt like it was chipping off a little bit.
05:01But when I really looked at it, I felt like that added to the look.
05:04It looked really scary and very detailed.
05:07I was proud.
05:09Happy Halloween!
05:14So yesterday I stepped into the dark side.
05:17So for this look, I really wanted to find the light and be a unicorn.
05:22For this look, I followed YouTuber Charisma Star's unicorn makeup tutorial.
05:27And I started out with my purple wig on my head.
05:30After priming with e.l.f.
05:32And applying Makeup Forever Foundation with my Beauty Blender.
05:36I applied NYX Shimmery Eyeshadow in Frostbite to the inner corners of my eye.
05:42And along my brow bone.
05:45Then I used Urban Decay in Woodstock to fill in my eyelids pink.
05:51And I took the purple color from my Mehron palette, lined the top of my eyelids, and blended them together.
05:58I added some more highlight to my brow bone.
06:01And then used the Urban Decay to drag that pink from my eyelids up towards my hairline.
06:06Using my finger, I highlighted my nose.
06:09And then I contoured both sides and the base with pink eyeshadow.
06:13I pulled out my heavy duty Mehron palette for more color options here.
06:17And starting with light blue, I added some more stripes in all different colors of the rainbow to the side
06:23of my face.
06:27Slowly I moved from my cheeks around up my forehead and I blended them together along the way.
06:34Next I brought in my favorite product of all, the Wet n Wild Rainbow Highlighter.
06:40To make my eyes really pop, I lined my lower and upper lids with the NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in
06:46Milk.
06:46I even lined the waterline.
06:48And then I outlined the white with the Mehron Purple Shadow.
06:51And then I painted my eyebrows purple.
06:55I added a bit more blush to my cheeks and down my neck on both sides.
07:00And then I used my liquid liner and mascara before finishing my eyes off with falsies.
07:07What really brought this look together was adding NYX White Liquid Liner dots all around my eyes.
07:16Then I stuck rhinestones around my brows.
07:19Added a rainbow sticker to my cheek.
07:22And put Violet Voss Golden Fairy Glitter all over my face.
07:27I finished my lips with my favorite Kylie Lip Kit in Coco K.
07:31I put on some Stay Matte Liquid Lip Color in Hot Pink just for that extra pop.
07:36And then the last and final glow up was adding MAC pigment to my lips.
07:41I took my hair down.
07:43Added a sparkly unicorn horn.
07:45Hi!
07:47And voila! I was a unicorn.
07:50I feel like I kind of looked like Katy Perry here because of the eyes.
07:55What do you guys think of this look?
07:57Comment below!
07:59Today I let my inner Catwoman come out and play.
08:03I followed YouTuber Melly Sanchez's Glam Cat Tutorial
08:06and started out with a fully primed face and foundation already done.
08:11I began with a Make Up Forever contouring palette.
08:14I used the chocolate brown color to draw lines by my cheekbones,
08:17along my jaw,
08:19on my forehead,
08:21and down my nose.
08:24Then I used a fluffy brush to blend it all in.
08:32Next I took a pencil highlighter that I just had in my makeup bag
08:35and I went to town highlighting all of the essential areas.
08:42I shaded my eyebrows in with a Brow Power pencil in dark brown.
08:50I set all of that makeup on my face with Laura Mercier's Translucent Setting Powder.
09:01Then I used a Pinky Rose Brown shade to make a cat eye from my crease to my eyebrows.
09:07I added black powder on top of this line and then blended it all out.
09:11Next it was time for me to do the cat eye
09:14and here's where I diverged from the tutorial that I was watching.
09:17I decided to just add the black line to the outside corner of my eye
09:21and the inside corner of my eye.
09:23I was looking very pale at this point so I added Colourpop's bronzing powder all over my face.
09:29I used gold between the black lines.
09:34But I didn't feel like it was enough of that golden shine that I wanted
09:37so I added a layer on top of this using the Colour Tattoo 24 Hour Bold Gold Eyeshadow Pot.
09:44And it was so gorgeous.
09:46I added Revlon's Gold Eye Art to give it a bit more shimmer and shine.
09:51And then took the Inglot Black Pot and lined my lower lids.
09:55I felt as if the liner looked a bit like a black swan mask.
09:59So I connected the two lines to complete the cat eye.
10:02And I filled in some more gold in the middle.
10:07I added Eiler Lashes.
10:12Used a Rimmel London Blush for some color.
10:16And then drew on my cat nose with the black liner.
10:22Using my Revlon liner, I drew a line from my nose to my upper lip.
10:26And I colored my upper lip black.
10:29Next, I added freckles and whiskers on both sides.
10:33I finished my lips with Kylie Lip Kit in Coco K.
10:37And I put Violet Voss Gold Glitter on top of that.
10:40I felt like this look was pretty hard because, as I mentioned at the beginning,
10:44I am not a makeup artist.
10:46And much of this look was just doing good makeup.
10:50By the end, I was feeling very feline.
10:54Meow.
10:59Alright, getting down.
11:02It's my last day of Halloween makeup.
11:05So I'm going with a look that's very fun.
11:07A mermaid.
11:09Today, I'm following Monica Rose MUA's mermaid tutorial
11:13because she really nailed the scales and her technique is absolutely flawless.
11:18I started with Urban Decay Eyeshadow in Woodstock.
11:22It is such a great pink color.
11:25Next, I blended in some purple eyeshadow from the Mehron palette.
11:29And I dabbed on Inglot Shimmering Shadow in Light Blue on top of my lids.
11:35I finished off this shadow look by blending some more purple into the crease to make all of the colors
11:40pop.
11:41I lined my eyelids with a NYX white eyeliner pencil and added a little wing to the side of each.
11:48Then I finished off the look with some MAC pigment.
11:52Moving on to foundation, I put Make Up Forever all over my face,
11:55followed by some Urban Decay Naked Skin Concealer.
12:01I topped it all off with some Laura Mercier Translucent Powder
12:05and sprayed on a Supergoop Setting Mist.
12:09Next, it was time for the most fun part of this look, the scales.
12:13Put a netted wig cap right over your face and apply makeup in the cutouts.
12:18And then when you take it off, it will look like you have scales.
12:20I started with the Inglot Pure Pigment Eyeshadow in Light Blue.
12:25And then I added a light pink tone and some Violet Voss Golden Fairy on top.
12:35Once I had done this all over my face, I took the net off very carefully and my face had
12:41scales on it.
12:43Lip time, I used Coco K again, liner first and then the matte gloss.
12:49And I made this lip a little bit more glittery by putting Revlon's Eye Art Glitter onto the lips.
12:55As a last minute decision, I dabbed the light blue Inglot Shimmering Shadow on top of that.
13:00I gemmed it up with some rhinestones, added my false lashes,
13:05lined my eyes with the NYX white eye pencil,
13:09and outlined around the white with some pink shadow.
13:15At the very end, I added a pink wig with long, flowy hair.
13:19This look can actually be used for more than just a mermaid.
13:22Honestly, I felt like I looked like a cupcake too.
13:26Five days later, and I'm so happy with how all of my makeup looks turned out.
13:31I have never worn so much makeup in my entire life.
13:36But at the end of each look, I was so proud of how it came out.
13:39And now, I'm so excited for Halloween.
