Halloween fun - Vampire Kitty

Here is the look I did for Sarah's Halloween competition here. Follow her, she's lovely :)

I saw Benefit's Coralista in the prize pile and HAD to enter! I'd do just about anything to get my hands on Coralista, including prancing about dressed as a Vampire Cat lol  :) I pray the neighbours didn't see me!

I had SO much fun doing this look and thought the results were too cute not to share so here are some photos from various stages:

                        False eyelashes                                                                   Smokey eyes

I actually think this look by itself is very wearable (minus the bushy eyebrows which were brushed up with mascara. Though I decided to change the lip colour below. Now for the 'cat-ification':

Pink nose, whiskers and blood stains

                          Cattitude!                                             Nice kitty (and that's my Emily Strange hoody)

                             Rawrrrr!                                                                    Vampire kitty ♥ blood

                                                             Outfit of the night - haha!
I ♥ my ear hoodies, I have loads!









             Kitty in the night garden                                                              Stalking prey

Boo!

       On the prowl


                                                                   Bedtime for kitty

This was my first ever attempt at smokey eyes and false eyelashes and I LOVE them both. Will defo be rocking this look more. Minus the bushy eyebrows, pink nose, whiskers and blood of course!

I used an elf lip liner to draw the outline, Then i used an elf nail polish (gum pink I think, i'll check and edit the post later) to fill it in then while still a little tacky I brushed Barry M's Dazzle Dust in Candy Pink all over it. The nail polish makes sure it stays on all night (if you were going to a party or something) and it won't rub off etc :) x

*blushes* awww thankyou @chammy

I know i was so suprised at how much I love the false lashes! They were only £1.50 from e.l.f. and i've had them for ages but never tried them til last night and it's love :)

And the kitty ears is just my Emily Strange hoody. I've had that for years and I love it. I also have the Emily strange kitty-eared hat, umbrella and rain coat and a diff version of the hoody with red ears :) Love things with ears hehe! x

Lu - The Pink Bandit said...

@Chammy, thanks again hun.
The lashes i'm wearing are the 'dramatic' ones from elf. I've got 'Natural' too but not tried them yet. You will need a diff eyelash glue though as the elf one that comes with it didn't work. Hehe, i want a cat but my bf is allergic. Will get a dog 1 day though :)
