Halloween Makeup 2: Fafinette Dolly Look

after last week's scarier makeup (click here if you haven't seen it yet), this pales in terms of the scary factor, but it's still quite crazy to me because there's just no way i can rock this heart shaped cheeks on any other day but halloween.

let me introduce the fafinette, amazing pin up illustration/graffiti drawn by a french artist by the name of fafi.


from the WWW

the first time i saw the fafinettes was way back in 2008. back then i wasn't this crazy about makeup yet. i had no idea what MAC does, but i saw their incredibly beautiful posters on their store front and there it is, the fafinettes. they collaborated with fafi a few years ago, while i had no idea who fafi is, the iconic heart shape cheeks etched themselves into my brain.


taken from the WWW.

i don't know, there's just something about those cat eyes and heart shape cheeks that drew me in like the fire draws the moth. since i have the chance to showcase something that interest me, i took this chance to put together this fafinette inspired look, with daily makeup products of course ;)

the look focuses on a few key points:
1. cat eyes
2. heart shaped cheeks
3. mega pouty lips (on hindsight i should have added a layer of gloss)

watch the video here!

FINAL LOOK_____________________________________________


the cat eyeliner is actually just a triangle! straight lines everywhere.


the photo is a little washed out because it was almost night fall by the time i'm done recording this look. but the look still has all the signature of a fafinette!

do you like this look? i really like it!

what's best, you can throw on normal clothes and adorn yourself with accessories to become a fafinette! if you google for more images, you'll realize how funky they are.

sadly i can't go out to a party this year, but maybe next year.. I'LL BECOME A REAL FAFINETTE.

happy halloween in advance!

Easy Halloween Makeup: Creepy Cute Doll

sorry if i scared you with my header image. here's my first halloween makeup look, just one of the many others that're available on youtube actually. but who knows, maybe this will inspire you to do something similar since it's so easy, and you really just need some eyeliner, lipstick, and concealer (all the rest are actually optional)!

i made an assumption that these are the basic makeup products, so anyone should be able to follow through without having the need to rush out to buy something just for the sake of halloween, only to stash it inside your drawer till the next halloween arrives. make use of what you have and be creative!
