What I did:
1.I took the lasting perfection foundation, shade 1 ,from collection (£4.19) and put two thick coats on
my face and neck to give me a instant dead look.
2. I then took the white out of my old NYC pallet ( NYC Individual'Eyes Eye Shadow Midtown Mauve 945 - £3.99)  and used that as a powder.
3. Next i used the burgandy purple out of the same pallet and blended it around one eye, but it underneath the other and used it to smudge big and small brusies over my face and neck. I then added black from Rimmel in Jet black £3.49, To the 'contact point'  of the brusie, and blended that wil the same brush. To that I added red eyeshadow, MUA £1, to the outside of the brusies and cuts and to my lower lip to give a blood effect, feel free to use Fake Blood (poundland £1) or red lipstick (MUA £1) to give it a more stickier texture and feel. After all of that, i just added some dark blue , MUA £1, to some cuts. I am also on the night going to add the George Seduction Eyelashes (£2.50) to add lenght to my eyelashes.
4. I started the lips with a red lipstick and roughly added that missing some places. I then took the burgany shade from my NYC pallet and used my finger to pat that into my lips. Then I added my Jet Black to the insides of my lips to give it a contor. I then added a cut and that was my lips done.

Feel free to contour your face with some brown or even some purple and I have decided to add some fake blood around my nose and make it drip down my lip. By no means am I a pro at makeup and I have used cheap makeup as I wasn't going to go out and buy MAC or Smashbox just to mess up my face, and I am sure you can get Cheaper items of the same colours or use :) and yes i am wearing a pudsey bear onesie!

Another Idea to Halloween - a - fie your house is to head to Asda, or poundland to buy quick decorations , as it will all be reduced on Halloween, and if you are doing a party on staurday, buy them then.  Pumpkins are also a great idea, getting them tomorrow can save alot of money and can make great snacks like roasted pumpkin seeds. You can make your pumpkins anything you like, a bat, or a scary face, or as I did a rubbish pudsey bear! They really creep the place out, especially by adding a tea light, to add flickering or lighting up a dark 
room.... here are some of my decorations, they are not really the best but they make me feel all scared!



 Hope you have a spooky Halloween!
