Face of the Day (FOTD) and Just for Fun: My Halloween Costume – Amy Winehouse

October 31st, 2007 by Karen 22 Comments

Trick or Treat! This year I’m the short, brown, non-alcoholic version of AMY WINEHOUSE.

Here’s what I used to get the look:

Eyes:
MAC Blacktrack Fluidline (LOTS AND LOTS OF IT!)
MAC Plushlash in Plushblack
MAC Shadow in Woodwinked all over lid
MAC Concrete in brows
MAC Select Moisturecover Concealer

Cheeks:
MAC Mocha blush
MAC Dollymix blush

Lips:
MAC Cremestick liner in Red Enriched
MAC Lipstick in Dubonnet

Hair:
Garnier Fructis Full Control Hairspray
Streekers Instant Liquid Hairclolor in Yellow

I haven’t done big hair in about 15 years so I hope this massive bird’s nest on the top of my head stays put for the rest of the day.

What did you dress up as? Whatever it is I hope it’s cute!

Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,

Karen

P.S. I gotta give some blog love to my husband (aka El Hub), who, in an ironic twist of fate, is at the dentist having his first cavities drilled today! Be strong, baby!

    Happy Halloween!

    Hello, is my wife here?? Hey, babe. I survived the dentist. He said I could even eat candy tonight! SCORE!

    My dentist looks EXACTLY like the crazy psycho dentist Steve Martin played in Little Shop of Horrors. I was skerred.

    Your costume is great… You totally should give yourself a fake mole to match her. I was Betty Boop for two parties…and the fake lashes were my favorite part. I did this long wear red lisptick…it was so dry…it looked hot…but my lips felt ick…

    Nice custom. I hope that when you sang “Rehab” Or “Back To Black” you were slurring the words heavily…. Was your hubby the fast dancing back-up dancer? Too funny…..

    Aww, crap Megan! I totally forgot about the mole, oy! Only about 2 people knew who I was anyway, and that’s only because I had a Perrier bottle wrapped up in a brown paper bag and looked like a drunkard. Sigh.

    Hi Vanessa,

    I hate the dentist too. One of my good friends is one and I do not hesitate to tell her everytime I see her that I think she’s a masochist for inflicting pain on others, HA!

    I saw your post with all your goody bags full of candy! I want one!

    Hi Apple Diva,

    HA! I wish he was my backup dancer! I asked and he turned me down.

    When are you coming my way to the West Side?!?!

    You’ve got really great looks over here!
    A, I guess pretty odd, question I’ve got is if it’s against the law to show boost in photos?… I’m not from your country you’ll see:)

    Thanks Ann. Hmmm, I dont’ think it is.

    The funny thing is that is a water bottle in that paper bag! I’m not much of a drinker in real life.

About Makeup and Beauty Blog

Welcome to Makeup and Beauty Blog
Hi there! I’m Karen, your friendly neighborhood beauty addict, and I’m a Bay Area girl who hoards brown eyeshadow and covets coral lipstick. Every morning, I wake up and say, “I’m going to do something other than a smoky eye today.” Then…I end up doing a smoky eye anyway (most days). When I’m not putting on makeup, taking pictures of makeup or writing about makeup, which I’ve been doing daily since 2007 (!), you’ll find me hanging out with my hubby (“El Hub”), my four-year-old daughter (Connor Claire) and my torbie girl cat (Pretty Girl Rosie, a.k.a. PGR).
