Now I'm really not the "sexy cat" kind of gal, however I was told that we could dress up for work on Halloween and I didn't exactly want to scare away the customers (that is, anymore than my makeup-less face usually does haha) so I decided to search through YouTube and try out some different styles of makeup the night before, because, lets face it, a nose, whiskers, and pants round my ankles isn't exactly my style.
So "What's pretty, presentable and suitable for Halloween?" I thought to myself, and this is where innovation struck me like a bolt of lightning "A CAT!" ... Brill, absolutely brill.
But, as I said, a nose and whiskers wasn't going to cut it, and who's even scared of a frigging tabby cat anyway? So I decided to be a leopard! (I think it was a leopard anyway)

---- May I just make a disclaimer to warn you all and apologise for what you are about to see. I've always been blonde and so have my bloody eyebrows so, being used to them being invisible, when Jemima646 told me to make my brows "BIG and BOLD", in her Sexy Cat With A Twist video, I literally made the biggest, boldest and oddest shapes around the 6 visible eyebrow hairs I have ----
There was a party that same night, and I wasn't sure whether my boyfriend and I were going, as we both had work in the day (I was only working until 3, he was there until 9 in the evening bless him). However I wanted to go, so I saw this as a 6 hour window to create a Halloween costume he couldn't refuse (although that sounds pretty dirty, I assure you this makeup look wasn't exactly a turn on haha)
1, 2 or 14 video tutorials of bullet wounds, zombie bites and stab wounds later and away I went. I struggled, using eyelash glue and toilet roll instead of latex, red nail varnish instead of fake blood and a Sharpie instead of a black coagulant, but I got there in the end!

I messily threw my hair up, put on some standard clothes, created a bruise on my collar bone and voilà! It ended up looking pretty damn good, I was very proud of myself.
Oh, and it worked, he saw me, was very impressed, asked to have something similar and off we went to get drunk with a slutty nurse, superman, Skepta and many others!

My school also does a day for Children In Need where all the sixth formers dress up. Now mine and my boyfriends costumes in year 12 were good, don't get me wrong, but the emphasis was more on the costume (and posture) than the makeup and special effects.
Following Halloween this year I was on a bit of a hype, excited to play around with makeup a little more and see if I could create something even better than a bullet hole made of tissue. Harry and Marv... The bad guys from home alone? You got it! I saved one photo onto my phone and then just free styled it.
Well, I think it went quite well, if I do say so myself

I apologise for not having artsy shots, on a white background, these were all taken before my blogging days. I also apologise for some of the filters; I was young, naive and gagging for more than 10 likes on Instagram haha.
Thanks so much for reading guys and gals, I hope you enjoyed it! Speak again soon :)
Love Rosie x
