So its the run up to Halloween and youtube has been ablaze with some amazing Halloween tutorials. As a last minute.com kinda girl I didn't get a chance to try any of those ideas out, instead I had to rustle up something from my wardrobe to fit together. Luckily...
For any of you who don't watch The Vampire Diaries; Katherine is a bad ass vampire with some brilliant one liners. In season 2 theres a masquerade ball where she rocks up wearing a classic LBD with some great makeup and a gorgeous mask.
While looking for a mask and dress for my outfit I came across the exact mask, dress and necklace Nina Dobrev (who plays Katherine) wore during this episode. It took alot of self restraint not to buy these but I just couldn't afford to splurge like that.
So to recreate this look on a budget like me you'll need some fangs and a mask. These fangs are awesome! Its a bit of a faff to set them but once thats done you have some custom made really comfortable fangs.
Tanya Burr on youtube does a great tutorial for the makeup but she does use some expensive products, you can follow her tutorial but just use cheaper products. All you need is a palette of black eye shadow shades, like this one from rimmel, a black eyeliner, some mascara and a red lipstick.
This tutorial is great to help you recreate Nina's hair do but as my hair is too short I just styled mine with some mousse.
Hope you all enjoy Halloween whatever you go as :)
