I attended a Halloween party with friends in Sacramento and I was a stunned with the costumes they worn. Some were dressed as Beevis and Butthead, Mormons, Batman and Robin, Dave Chappelle, purple bumble bees and Danny DeVito. I did not wear a costume at my friends’ party exceptpainting my face. My goal was to look as a mixed-breed of a goblin and Night Elf from my favorite game,World of Warcraft.

First, I applied the liquid foundation as my base. I could have used a primer instead, but I felt that the liquid foundation helped blend the skintone along with the “mask”. Second, I applied numerous mounts of shimmering green and dark copper eye shadows for the whole face along with black eyeliner to draw dots and lines for fill-in color. The eyeliner I had purchased from Sally Beauty store near home, was shaped like a pen or pencil without the bristles. Third, I applied purple and a bright magenta colored lip liner and mascara for the eyes and cheeks. Fourth, I used the black eyeliner to draw the upside down triangle shape beneath the eyes with an addition curl at the tip. Last, I applied a pair of glittered eyelashes and tri-color wig purchased from BuyCostumes.com.

I tried wearing a elf ears that we’re made from the game purchased from BuyCostumes.com, but the ears did not stay on my ears. I tried shorten my ears by cutting to normal human ear-sized and duck taped. I had spent time watching YouTube videos until I gave up and trashed my ears into the garbage. Maybe I will try again next year without shorten the ears, but besides that, I enjoyed spending time wearing my face painted on Saturday and on Halloween day at work. I spent at least a good two and half hours on this Halloween project.

Happy Halloween, everyone!
