Cute Fawn Halloween Makeup


Today, I decided that I would do something fun in the spirit of Halloween and show you guys a cute little fawn makeup pictorial. It's fun, cute, and gave me an excuse to sit around my house dressed like a deer because clearly dressing up makes everything more fun.


To get started here's what you're going to need:

- Brown eyeshadows/ bronzers in varying shades

- White eyeshadow or a white powder
- Cream or grease based makeup in black and white
- Whatever foundation you use in your daily routine
- Whatever setting powder you use in your daily routine
- Black eyeliner (gel or liquid)
- White eyeliner
- Black mascara
- False eyelashes
- Makeup Brushes (foundation, angled eyeliner, finishing, stippling, kabuki, contour or whatever brushes you prefer.)






After you have gathered all of your necessary products and tools its time to get started ;)

Step 1: On your pretty, fresh, and primed face you are going to want to put on your foundation just as you would every other day. After that you are going to use your foundation brush or sponge to apply and blend out your white grease makeup down the center of your face. Set the white parts of your face with a white shadow or powder and the rest of your face with whatever powder you would normally use to set your makeup. When you're done use your contour brush to contour the sides of your nose, your cheekbones, and the sides and top of your forehead, using the darker shades towards the outside and using lighter shades as you come in towards the center of your face.

Step 2: Add blush to the apples of your cheeks. Then using one of your darker brown shadows shape and fill in your eyebrows. Afterwards, starting from the front of your eyebrow bring the color down the sides of your nose. This will narrow out your nose and give you that snout look (mmm sounds sexy right.) Using your black eyeliner of choice wing out your eyeliner and then on the inner corners bring your eyeliner down towards the tip of your nose. Afterwards, use white eyeliner on the waterline and to define your lower lash line. Then add mascara and some false eyelashes to finish up your eyes. Don't put any mascara on your lower lashes! ... Well actually you can if you want, I don't really care :p

Step 3: Using the black grease paint and your lipstick brush black out the bottom of your nose, Personally i also added a little line down the middle and along the nostrils as well for a little extra nose flare. Then using the same products black out your upper lip and draw out the sides slightly more than your actual mouth. Add a little bit of the white grease paint to the bottom lip in order to help it blend in a little better.

Step 4: Using your white eyeliner add little dots to your cheeks and the sides of your forehead. Personally I held mine over a flame for a second or two before applying in order to make the dots bolder. Afterwards, go in with an angled brush and the same color you used on your brows and add some fur like details so you look all wild and feral and what not. Now BOOM you're done! You can also add in a few personal details in order to finish up the look. I added little buns for ears and a flower crown.

Well there you have it, a fawn Halloween makeup look! Or a fun look to sit around the house in...whatever you prefer. I hope you liked it.
