Peacock Costume & Makeup
Hello, hello! I am back. After a way too long hiatus, I am back. I have been so caught up in my personal life and finishing my last year of college strong that I have neglected this blog for too long. This blog and my social life to be honest.
If you know anything about me, it’s that I lovelovelove Halloween. This year I didn’t get to celebrate it too much since I was caught up in other things but I did manage to go down to Los Angeles with a couple of my girl friends for some drinks and dancing. Geisha House in LA is just fabulous. There is a random fireplace placed in the middle of the dance floor but other than that, the venue is nice.
Blue Silk Top: Forever 21
Black Skirt: H&M
Belt: Handmade
Shoes: Audrey Brooke’s Shocker
This year I decided to be a peacock. No, it’s not because of the Katy Perry song. I did a wedding just a month ago and it was peacock theme. The florist didn’t want any of the leftover peacock feathers when the wedding was over so I took them all home. I’m sad I didn’t get to use a lot of them but I did get a couple uses out of them. I made a belt and my headband using the feathers. I don’t have an upclose photo of the belt. After a night of clubbing it was completely trashed! It’s okay though since you got the general idea that I was a peacock.
I kept it simple because it’s clubbing afterall. But I really wanted to play with makeup instead so I went all out on my eyes. After all they are the window to your soul, right? I cannot believe how pigmented these drugstore eyeshadow where. The only thing I used that was not drugstore was the primer, my trusty Urban Decay Eyeshadow Primer Potion in Original! I’ve never used any kind of blue eye shadow before but I think I will start. Perhaps be a mermaid next year just so I can use it again! The teal color is the dye for, just look.
Blue & Teal: Maybelline Eyestudio Silk Eyeshadow in Sapphire Siren
Gold: Wet ‘n’ Wild ColorIcon Palette in #249 Vanity
Cream Liner: L’Oreal HiP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner in Black

And here are rest of the peacock touches!
Peacock headband in case people weren’t looking at my back.
