Greek Goddess Halloween Makeup Tutorial



Keeping with the Halloween spirit I decided to throw on my ivy crown and toga...So of course I needed a dramatic makeup look to go with my Greek Goddess costume. This look was completely inspired by the lashes I found at Rite Aid. 

These lashes are made by Fright Night and include an upper and lower lash set. They do include their own adhesive but I used my my standard Revlon Lash Glue to apply these. They are a fairly stiff false lash set and do need to be trimmed a bit from my small eyes. When applying the lashes start with the bottom set since they do not have as much wiggle room and when you apply the upper lashes you have more control over where the outer tail sits so the jewels are noticeable. 



The eye shadow look needed to be able to stand up to the dramatic lashes so I took two vivid blue hues and balanced them out with a black cut crease. I figured that an elongated exotic eye would fit with my temporary regal status. So whether you are looking to dress as Aphrodite or Hera you can definitely take this eye look and make it your own.


If you do decide to give this look a try please send me a picture of the final product. I'd love to see how it turned out. Please email these pictures to makeupmaiworld@gmail.com.
