Halloween Makeup Challenge

amomentwithfranca · 25 October 2016 · 62 Comments

A few weeks ago I was contacted by Poundworld to see if I was up for their Halloween Makeup Challenge. The requirements of which was to visit one of their stores to purchase a selection of items from their Halloween makeup and accessories section. I then needed to film myself being made up or applying this to someone else, as a kind of makeup tutorial video. It sounded like a fun challenge and something I was definitely up for as I’m certain, if anything it would be funny. For this challenge, I asked Nick to help me and we decided (for some reason, LOL!) that he would be applying the makeup to turn me into a witch!

Halloween Makeup Challenge

Watch the video below to see how it turned out:

If you want to create a very simple look like mine, I have outlined the steps below:

1. WITCHES SKIN

poundworld-creepy-face-paint

Use the green face paint from the ‘Creepy Face Paints’ set, applying an even layer to all visible areas of your face and neck. It doesn’t look like much in the tube but you actually only need a small amount to cover your face, neck and ears.

2. WITCHES EYES

poundworld-ghoulish-makeup-set
Witches have dark eyes (apparently!) so to create dark eyes, use the black makeup from the ‘Ghoulish Make Up Set’, and with the applicator provided carefully apply it around the eyes. Witches have evil looking dark eyebrows too so your going to need to use the black crayon from the same Ghoulish Make Up Set to draw over your existing eyebrows to give them more emphasis and shape to make them a bit more evil looking. You could try creating a unibrow too, now that is evil!

3. WITCHES NOSE

poundworld-witch-makup-kitAs i’m sure you all know, witches have horrible ugly looking noses, so I was going to need some help with this one. Fortunately, Poundworld have this lovely ‘Halloween Witch Make Up Kit’ that includes a horrible looking witches nose. After putting on the witches nose, apply a bit of the green face paint so it matches the rest of your skin.

4. WITCHES LIPS

For our witches lips, use the red crayon from the ‘Ghoulish Make Up Set’ as a kind of large lip pencil. This will make your lips stand out more to complement the green skin.

5. WITCHES HAIR & HAT

poundworld-witches-hat

I actually cheated (very slightly) here as I already had this green wig at home, so it wasn’t worth buying again from Poundworld. This was the only item that I didn’t get from  Poundworld. They do of course have a selection of wigs you can choose from. It doesn’t need to be green of course, anything witch-like will do. I did buy my witch hat from Poundworld though. When you put on the wig, ensure it covers your hair (I actually tied my hair back making it much easier to put on), and any small areas of skin that you couldn’t quite cover with the green face paint.

6. WITCHES TEETH

poundworld-frightful-teeth

We picked up these ‘Frightful Teeth’ in Poundworld which were great for adding a final touch to complete the look.

And that was it! You can see my final look below. I spent a grand total of £6 which is quite remarkable. I don’t think its the best halloween witch I have seen but that maybe has more to do with Nick’s make up skills, LOL! Anyway, we definitely had fun making the video – it was a fun challenge! Happy Halloween!

What do you think of my witch look? Have you bought halloween make up items or fancy dress from Poundworld before? If so, what did you think? Please leave a comment below as I would love to read what you think.

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon

We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima

Walking along the sidewalk of the Malécon in Lima’s picturesque seaside district, Miraflores, you can admire the most beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean. .The “Costa Verde” is a coastal road.

You will see several parks with sculptures of famous artists that make this walk even more unique and enjoyable. Along the route, you can find numerous recreational activities such as surfing and paragliding..If you keep walking you will arrive at “Larcomar” which is a shopping centre and has many restaurants and cafes so you can enjoy a coffee or a meal with the gorgeous ocean view too. .Pictures explained below:1. Start of my walk with the view of the ocean showing one the most gorgeous restaurants in Lima “La Rosa Nautica” where you can walk along the pier and then seat down for a meal with a sea view. Very scenic 😍2. 📸 Greater view of the coast showing the Pacific Ocean3. 🎥 Parque Chino (Chinese Park)4. 📸 Parque El Libro (The Book Park) showing a colorful sculpture, “Silencio” created by Peruvian artist José Tola.5. 📸 Parque del Amor (Love Park) showing its larger-than-life sculpture of two lovers in a deep embrace called “The Kiss”.

✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" ✨Peruvian Suspiro Limeño✨."Suspiro Limeño" is one of my favourite Peruvian desserts. When I was In Peru, I of course, made sure to have it not only once but several times 😉.This dessert is made of manjar blanco (milk, sugar, almond flour, egg yolks, vanilla) and meringue (egg whites, port, cinnamon) 😘.The history behind this dessert starts with Amparo Ayarza who was the creator. Her husband, José Gálvez Barrenechea was a poet and was the one who gave it its name. The poet called it "Suspiro de Limeña", which means, 'Sigh of a Lima lady', because it is soft and sweet like the sigh of a woman. Love this 🥰.Have you ever tried "Suspiro Limeño"? Or have you heard of it before? Would you try it? .📸 Picture taken @panchitasazoncriolla in Lima that has one of the best versions of this dessert 🙌🏻.#suspirolimeño #peruviandessert #meringue #merengue #desserttime #dessertlover #dessertpic #dessertgram #peruvianfood #cocinaperuana #gastronomiaperuana #perufood #peruviancousine #whatisfordessert #dessertsofinstagram
