Free Stuff Friday: Halloween Makeup! October 3, 2008
Posted by Lara Sanders | Permalink | Comments ( 242 ) | TrackBackHappy October everyone! I love this time of year because it means that one of my favorite holidays, Halloween, is almost upon us! I love dressing up and doing intense Halloween make-up. Check out my zombie costume from last year:

This year I think I am going to do something different, though I don't know exactly what (see below to help me decide!). I do know that I will be hitting up Fantasy Makers Halloween makeup from Markwins (the cruelty-free mavens who also make Wet n Wild, Black Radiance and Tropez cosmetics lines). The Fantasy Makers line has everything! I want to incorporate these eyelashes into my costume somehow...

Two lucky winners will get a prize pack containing Deadly Rose nail color, R.I.P. glowing nail color, Silver Pixie loose confetti, Witches Charm lashes, a Red Devil Kit, Wicked Talons, and Wild & Wicked Tattoos!
Comment below with what I should be for Halloween this year for a chance to win!

A Vampiric Carnivourus Chicken.
Which happens to have those cool eyelashes :)
Those pretty eyelashes made me think of a Cobalt Blue Tarantula, maybe you could dress as one of them? They're so beautiful but they also freak most people out!
Picture here:

Go as a hard core cartoon character.
Posted by: Carli at October 3, 2008 9:56 AMOhh, well i see with those eyelashes being a peacock, or just something having to do with Alot of color :)
Posted by: Jill at October 3, 2008 11:21 AMYou should be one of the most disliked fur wearers like one of the trollsen twins or someone like the kfc guy.

Posted by: Michael at October 3, 2008 11:26 AMMaybe a sexy peacock (the eyelashes will work nicely)
Posted by: Miss Potter at October 3, 2008 11:37 AMHow about Sally from the Nightmare Before Christmas? or any kind of doll really, those eyelashes would still look great.
Posted by: Aneliese at October 3, 2008 11:51 AMMaybe you could go as death but with the head of a pig or cow or chicken, to make people think about if other animals slaughtered humans in the same way humans do them.
Posted by: Amy Gackowska at October 3, 2008 12:02 PMHmmmm, i think you should be something cute, some kind of animal that everyone here loves, like a chick hatching from an egg, or a lobster.
Posted by: Kimberly at October 3, 2008 12:11 PMan anime japenese charactor or a peacock
Posted by: milly rowland at October 3, 2008 12:38 PMI think being a dark fairy would be pretty neatoh. (=
Posted by: Rachael at October 3, 2008 1:01 PMHow about Ms. Krueger? :)
Posted by: Natasha at October 3, 2008 1:16 PMhmmm i have to say you should be a witch/vampire/rockstar/cat
lol i am sooo wierd it's really cool when you think about it
rockstar outfit you can try to get a panda face ummmm
vampire fangs
and a kitty tail lol NO ONE WILL HAVE THAT ONE
I think you should be a schoolgirl vampire :)! I've done that two years and it always gets attention and it's A LOT of fun hehe and you get to look dark and hot all night it's awesome
Posted by: Angela at October 3, 2008 1:56 PMI think you should be...A giant block of tofu with a (Heath Ledger) joker face who has the amazing feather eyelashes.
A gothic beauty queen.
With blue hair to match your blue eye lashes.
oh neato, vegiterian burrito!
Posted by: Elsa Fregoso at October 3, 2008 2:46 PMI think that you need to be something original and unique... If I were you, I would look into a witty Halloween costume (that would also incorporate the fake eyelashes that you adore). I think that you need to try being a Bird lady! Wear a purple or dark blue dress, with a pair of boots... You could also try being something exciting like ... A vampire
Posted by: Tauri at October 3, 2008 3:03 PMi think you should be a zombie, and tell everyone that only zombies eat flesh (:
Posted by: Lottiee at October 3, 2008 3:41 PMWear like a nonleather trenchcoat and say you're a vegan vampire.
Posted by: Peavey at October 3, 2008 5:03 PMthose lashes are amazing!!
i think it would be great as a pinky school girl. like you could find a purple plaid skirt. white blouse. some big black boots. crazy hair (maybe with some purple highlights?). and wala. cute slightly sexy edgy costume.
i also love vampires and rock stars XD
[ ive already posted this one myspace,
but here you go again.:D ]
i think you should be an evil ice witch. [:
the dots on the eye lashes, plus the black, just totally remind me of some kind of evil ice witch.
then you could get a black corset with blue ribbon, and a blue ballerina skirt.
i think that would be cute. :D
I'm going to be two things this year.
For my friend Mercedes' Halloween party I'm going to be Smara from The Ring.
For trick or treating I'm going to be a puk-rock vampire.
Every year I see a banana, but it's always the best costume ever. You should be a banana!
Posted by: kristi at October 3, 2008 6:06 PMGo as a Cop. They're hot, sexy, and you can make them dead, alive or looking for nonvegan people to pray on.
Posted by: Jessica Harrold at October 3, 2008 6:08 PMGo as Cornel Sanders. Like.. Black pants, a red shirt and a white apron splattered with blood and one of those rubber chicken legs sticking out of the apron pocket.
:)
Posted by: Alexis Spalding at October 3, 2008 6:43 PMi think you should be Dori
from findign nemo because
A. she is black and blue and so are the eyelashes
B. fish are friends not food!
im not sure how you would get
a costume like that though?
You should go as a girl Blue Man! (Like the Blue Man Group, google them if you don't know what I mean.) You could paint your face and hands blue, and walk around with drumsticks banging on everything! And it would go great with the fake eyelashes. :D
Posted by: Stevie at October 3, 2008 7:34 PMI said this on peta2's blog on myspace, but I figure I should post it here, too:
You could be a meat eater!
what's scarier to the world??
maybe a fake dead chicken, fur coats, feather boas, etc?
the lashes could be from a peacock that was killed for you.
This is sad, but at least Halloween is all fake costumes!!
Posted by: Rosie at October 3, 2008 7:44 PM1) a mermaid
2) a fairy
3) some gothic chick
me and my little sister are going as the trollsen twins and im so excited!!
Posted by: salena at October 3, 2008 8:05 PMi think that u should dress up as a hen that is black and has a neon orange pumpkin sign that says "i am not a nugget" and hopefully that should match your eyelashes and mabey u could even put a few blue polka dots on the chicken costume!!!! lol
Posted by: Kirsten at October 3, 2008 9:46 PMTo start off...Happy October! Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I love getting to dress up and getting free candy!
Well anyways, to help you have the best costume ever Ashleigh, I've took the time to think of costumes you can wear to incorporate the eyelashes into. I think you should be a diva, a witch, a vampiress, a midnight or gothic fairy, or last but not least the bride of Darkness.
Please choose one of my ideas because I would love to be a lucky winner and get the prize pack so I can have the coolest costume ever. Well I hope your Halloween goes great!
Posted by: Karen at October 3, 2008 10:27 PMI think you should should be and evil scientist who tests on animals that way everyone will get the hint about how sik it is to test on animals
Posted by: Becca at October 3, 2008 10:50 PMHahaha You should be choobacka! ^-^
And hold a sign saying:
"Do not hurt me, Im lovable too!"
^-^
It would be adorible.
=D
I like the Rock Chick/Vampire chick idea. But I like to different and what is more different than an alien or a ghost; we have no idea what eyelashed aliens have. Maybe a hip; bride of frankenstein.
Posted by: Robin S. at October 4, 2008 7:59 AMI would sam sammy terry
Posted by: Nora Scott-Platt at October 4, 2008 8:11 AMyou should be a barbie!
Posted by: Lauren at October 4, 2008 9:18 AMWounded Deer!
you should be a dead zombie person. To show that the slaughter happens to animals, why not people, its wrong both ways. but the fake blood and make up could come in handy and look great. and maybe add in a t-shirt of KFC or another slogan to show about animal slaughter.
Posted by: Emma at October 4, 2008 10:04 AMZombies are always a hit!!
Posted by: Rebecca Snodgrass at October 4, 2008 10:11 AMThe little diva's and I think you should rock a vampire lolita look this year. ;)
Posted by: Dddiva at October 4, 2008 10:12 AMYou could do a dark fairy tale character, like dead snow white, a vampire little red riding hood, Gothic Cinderella... ect. I think it would be a lot of fun and a grown-up twist to the classics.
Posted by: Candace at October 4, 2008 10:17 AMWitches are always cool.
Posted by: Denise at October 4, 2008 10:34 AMBettie Boop
Posted by: Maja at October 4, 2008 10:51 AMI think you should be a zombie fairy...
It would be really cute if you could find a dress to match the blue in the eyelashes...
Tippy Hedron from The Birds
gkstratos@yahoo.com
i think you should go as a blood sucking butterfly, the eyelashes would go perfect with a floaty blue dress and some black netty wings ;)
Posted by: may w at October 4, 2008 11:23 AMI think that you should go as a Las Vegas Showgirl.
Posted by: Monika Iszard at October 4, 2008 11:35 AMvampires are very 'hot' this year
Posted by: tawnda at October 4, 2008 11:57 AMMaybe you could be a fairy or something? That seems like it would work with the eyelashes.
why not be a Blythe doll? You could totally rock the mod style with those lashes:
http://blythe.swedenunlimited.com/albums/ginaphoto/aazaz.sized.jpg
Posted by: Lena at October 4, 2008 1:47 PMYou should be a vegan vampire. If you've ever read the book The Alchemyst, one of the main characters is a vegetarian vampire.
Posted by: Jeannie V. at October 4, 2008 1:48 PMI think you should be a party girl, it'd look so hot!
Posted by: Madi at October 4, 2008 1:51 PMHmm, you should be a bloody gothic girl:)
Posted by: Damla Kayihan at October 4, 2008 1:54 PMi think you should be a a dark fairy mixed with a vampire that would be saweet!
Posted by: nicole at October 4, 2008 1:58 PMI reckon you should go as like, a chicked of something thats beed skinned.
but make it look real bad so people'll be like:
woah, what are you?
and you can reply..i'm your dinner! SUCK ON THAT!
x
i think u should be a sexy cat
and also telle people about the chineese fur industry who would want to kill sexy cat and yurn her into a fur jaket that people buy without knowing its cat
I love the idea of those lashes with the same color blue wig... maybe a dark angel? Black wings and black and blue outfit with tons of layering and slashed shirts, skirts, etc.dark, dark eyes... lips... black blush... . with of course big black army boots... what do you think? I love the lashes... definately different... good luck and thanks for the giveaway?
Posted by: pamela at October 4, 2008 3:10 PMhow about "the zombie that ate all the 'baddies' on wall street"
Posted by: jffryclough at October 4, 2008 3:29 PMI think a dark fairy would be great with those eyelashes. Plus you can adjust your costume for what ever the weather is doing. Just change your light weight tights for some heavier ones and short sleaves for long ones. (The weather is always a toss up this time of year, you might get a warm day or you might get a cold rainy day. Or if you live in a cold place like me you might unlucky enough to get snow.)
Or you could go as a vampire. It seems kinda boring, but if you make it really unique and you it can be cool. Try these if you are going to be a vampire: http://www.vampfangs.com/Scarecrow_Fangs_s/32.htm
I have the Subtle Small Fangs since I am a small person, but they make differnent sizes.
Posted by: Emmejo at October 4, 2008 4:15 PMYou should be a vampire. OR maybe you could be Frakensteins Monster, or a flesh eating fairy?
Posted by: Stephanie at October 4, 2008 5:20 PMYou should be Sarah Palin-or Michelle Obama, depending on your political preference! Thank you for this giveaway!
Posted by: Deborah Wellenstein at October 4, 2008 5:31 PMYou could rock it Twiggy-style as a mod or be one of the marauders from the movie Doomsday.
Posted by: kristin at October 4, 2008 5:48 PMone-eyed, one-horned, flyin' purple people eater
because why would you eat animals? its like eating people
Posted by: rachel caldwell at October 4, 2008 5:57 PMThis is a group costume but There both interesting ideas. 1. Bo Peep and her Serta Sheep (The sheep could have a "No spare ribs" Sign) Or Snow White and the Seven dorfs (or dorks hehe) Ya, that my idea :D And as a bonus with both costumes you could wear the eyelashes --- Now you just have to find people to be the sheep or dorks :D
Posted by: Chantal at October 4, 2008 6:06 PMThis is a group costume but There both interesting ideas. 1. Bo Peep and her Serta Sheep (The sheep could have a "No spare ribs" Sign) Or Snow White and the Seven dorfs (or dorks hehe) Ya, that my idea :D And as a bonus with both costumes you could wear the eyelashes --- Now you just have to find people to be the sheep or dorks :D
Posted by: Chantal at October 4, 2008 6:08 PMHow about the 'I'd rather go naked than wear fur' outfit ;)
Posted by: Brian N. at October 4, 2008 6:09 PMa funky chicken
Posted by: Andrew Gordon at October 4, 2008 6:14 PMGo as a vegetable or a Lettuce Lady.
Posted by: Jessica at October 4, 2008 6:19 PM!Totally go as a Bunny Rabbit as a victim or either the fur industry
OR A bunny Rabbit as a victim of Animal Testing!
Posted by: Kirsti at October 4, 2008 6:21 PMI know that I already posted on this, but I went on a little search yesterday and I found the absolute perfect costume for you! It's stunning. Here is the link:
http://www.wetseal.com/catalog/product.jsp?productId=14509
I think that this perfectly incorporates the blue and black eyelashes because there are hints of blue in the dress itself; there are also always accessories. If I were you, this is what I would wear!
You can add your own spin on the costume to make it more creative. With the proper accessorizing, hair styling and make up it could easily be pulled off and look completely incredible :]
You don't really seem like the frilly costume type, but you could always add leggings or turn yourself into an awesome gothic model xD
Posted by: Victoria at October 4, 2008 6:22 PMI think you should be a chicken with purls and high heels..all fancied up- I am frreee!!!
Posted by: Sandy at October 4, 2008 6:33 PMA peacock is a possibility, or a dark fairy
Posted by: stony at October 4, 2008 6:38 PMu should be hmmm i would say a vampir but id be cool to include like peta into the coustume some how like go as uhm a peacock and be like you wouldnt eat this so why eat a chicken?:d the eyelashes would look adorablewith those
Posted by: erin at October 4, 2008 6:58 PMI think Dick Cheney.
Posted by: Linda at October 4, 2008 8:25 PMTry being a lamb being lead to the slaughter.
Posted by: Patricia Hill at October 4, 2008 8:35 PMbe j-lo

stilettos and

I love the dark fairy idea someone mentioned.
Posted by: Caroline Morin at October 4, 2008 10:24 PMThanks for the promotion.
Posted by: Thomas Gibson at October 5, 2008 5:40 AMI think a Raven. You can tar and feather yourself all over and look like a scruffy bird!
Posted by: Anna M at October 5, 2008 7:15 AMA 70's jiving chick with high waisted polyester pants and a blonde afro. And don't forget those platform shoes.

Posted by: Denyse at October 5, 2008 9:25 AMA blue cat to match the blue in the eyelashes (with a sign saying "Feline Blue. Cheer me up").
Posted by: Judith at October 5, 2008 9:29 AMI think something like a moon goddess. A blue moon goddess.
Posted by: MARILOUISE at October 5, 2008 9:40 AMi think you should be a vampyre of some kind, with like blue in your costume to match the eyelashes, you could mix a sort of vampyre/zombie look together, to be like more undead than a vmapyre is? lol
you could put some blue in your hair and wear black eyeshadow with pale face make up, but also do the kind of circle things around your eyes for the zombie part, you could do the fake blood thing aswell, but instead, make some yourself with cornflower and some blue food dye to make it different =] instead of red? =]
Posted by: at October 5, 2008 10:12 AMYou could be a wonderful green salad with all of the vegan fixings!
Posted by: Catherine KingChuparkoff at October 5, 2008 11:20 AMWith those lashes you could do some dark blue goth fairy or witch kind of a deal. I like those they are wicked!
Posted by: Carey at October 5, 2008 11:40 AMI think you should be a blue, purple, and black fairy:D The eyelashes would look awesome and you can also do amazing makeup with it:D(even though i do that everyday for school:D) Like some really heavy black and blue eyeliner for designs like swirls and flowers or something and maybe some purple and blue eyeshadow with glitter on the eyelids:D(glitter goes on design too:D) then outline lips in black lipliner and make them blue or purple and do swirls on one side of the face as it stands out more than if you do both:D hope this helps:D
Posted by: Maranda at October 5, 2008 11:46 AMI love larry the cable guy
Posted by: alicia at October 5, 2008 12:27 PMHairy Kate and Trashley. They're pretty monsterous.
Posted by: Dulcie at October 5, 2008 12:27 PMthose eyelashes made me think of a butterfly.
it would be cool because they're so beautiful and the eyelashes look like the patter on their wings
you could get some pretty wings that match the eyelashes.
hope it helps :)

Posted by: judy brittle at October 5, 2008 7:08 PMHm. Well. You could go as some cute color-themed witch, like get a cute black and (insert color here outfit) and base your whole outfit around that one color. And the make up will work too!

agsweeps [@] hotmail [.] com
Thanks!!
Posted by: Alecia Gibson at October 5, 2008 8:50 PMYou should be a devil! Noo, not red. BLUE! It would go perfect with your eyelashes. Get the same shade of blue, and wear a devil's costume. It may be hard to find a blue devil costume, but hey. It would be awesome. Another tip could be blue contacts or something! Add lots of rips and things like tht. Make the costume appealing & gore-ish at the same time.
I hope this helped.(:
Posted by: Jeanne Wells at October 5, 2008 8:53 PMwow thats so awsome..:)

Posted by: Christine at October 5, 2008 10:14 PMa piece of toast.
Posted by: Vicky Boackle at October 6, 2008 12:42 AMTo start off, I want to wish everyone a super, creepy, crawly Halloween. Now, on to the costume. I actually have two ideas. You could totally be a butcher, except not your typical butcher, a people butcher. You could even carry around a severed head prop and a knife. Or, if you don't want such a bloody costume, you could be a dead pirate. There's a cute costume at http://www.frightcatalog.com/Halloween-Costumes/Pirate-Costumes/Shipwreck-Sally-Adult-Costume-1104241/ It would go great with the eyelashes and some frosty colored make up.
Thanks for the great contest. I'm crossing my fingers and toes!!
a sexy nurse maybe or dowdy looking either way!
Posted by: C. Clemens at October 6, 2008 1:45 AMHalloween is soooo fun. I would love to win.
