It's not as if I was super gung-ho on Halloween growing up. In fact, I can only remember one year that I had any kind of creative homemade costume, and that was from my babysitter helping me spray paint a box and dryer hosing to make a tin-man costume. But... maybe since I've become an adult, it's become more of a fun creative-challenge thing for me.

In Singapore usually no one really much does anything save a couple of events at nightclubs, but I'm not really interested in dressing as a slutty (insert animal/profession here). Plus, this year I'll be in Penang visiting with J's family, so very unlikely I'll be doing anything. So this weekend, I played around with a couple of Halloween looks, just so I could have a nice FB profile pic for the rest of this month:

I tried this one first as an exercise in contouring my face, so it kinda became witch-like. I'm kinda meh about it since it turned out so washed-out shiny from the flash, but I didn't have natural light to take better shots.

All dressed up and nowhere to go!

This one was fun, and my attempt at recreating this MAC Halloween look:

I totally want to go out and buy stage makeup that would make this process so much easier, although I probably wouldn't use it more than once a year :D

Now, I just need to work on the mini-candy side of Halloween, which is the first reason it's my favorite day of the year.
