Read on to find out how!

I love Halloweeeen! It’s one of my favourite times of the year and I’m always one of those people who gets a bit too ‘into it’. This year I’ve decided to go as an Alien Princess – I think it’s just an excuse to wear a crown and a lot of glitter.

I decided to do a quick step by step tutorial of this look as it’s super easy and it’s all using eyeshadows and make up you can find easily. Prepare yourself for a lot of scrolling as I somehow took a million photos.

I started off with your average base of foundation and concealer.

I then used the NYX Jumbo Eyshadow Pencil in Cottage Cheese all over my lid. I wanted a nice shimmery base that would really emphasise the coloured shadows I was planning on using.

Next, I used a hot pink just on the lid – I started about halfway across my eyelid as I wanted the silvery base I had added to still be visible.

I intensified the colour by adding a slightly darker pink to the outer V and blending together.

I repeated the same thing but to my lower lash line, the NYX eyeshadow pencil on the inner corner and lined about halfway along my eye – then using a hot pink to blend all the way out.

I then used a bright blue eyshadow as my contour – I lined the top of my forehead, cheekbones and jawline and blended it out – I decided to blend it out pretty far so there was a large amount of colour showing.

I repeated the same process with the same hot pink I used on my lid above the contour on my cheeks and blended it together.

I then started mapping out the ‘alien shapes’ on my face – I decided on a triangle on my forehead, and then a strip down my nose and chin.

TIME FOR THE GLITTER – I added pink and blue glitter over the large ‘alien shapes’ I had drew on, and then 2 thick lines coming out of my eyes. I dabbed on some carmex/ vaseline onto the areas I wanted glitter, then using a flat eyeshadow brush, pressed the glitter over it so it stuck. I decided to add some glitter onto my cheek contour too, just to add a little bit more dimension.

Using white liquid eyeliner I started to draw on some lines and dots. I dotted around the triangle on my forehead – the inner corners of my eyes, my outer eyes, and then lined the strip on my chin.

I didn’t really know what lip colour to go for, I was initially going to use silver eyeshadow, but it just didn’t look right. I opted for a dark metallic blue – I used an ELF jumbo eyeshadow stick and topped it with Limecrime’s carrousel gloss.

These lashes were so hard to apply! They’re super thick and had a really thick, stiff band (apologies for the poor application) but I think they really completed the look. I also finished off my lower lashes by using the white liquid liner to coat them.

And that’s it! – Now what is an alien princess without her crown!

I couldn’t decide if I preferred this look with my hair up or down – I think if I was to wear my hair down I’d probably have it straight – I just don’t think it looks right with curl hair!

This was suuuch a fun look to do! I’m super excited to recreate this for Halloween night.
