Melting Ice Cream | Halloween With Luc

MELTING ICE CREAM

My second #HalloweenWithLuc look is a melting ice cream inspired by Desi Perkins, she did a melting strawberry ice cream look and I though it was super fun and creative. I adapted Desi’s look because I wanted to use my lilac wig from Annabelles Wigs. You can change the colour of the drips to be whatever you want, but personally I think pastel shades work best. Defiantly check out Desi’s video if you’re thinking of re-creating this look.

I have a couple more Halloween looks that I want to do before Monday so make sure you check back for those.

GLAM

-Eyes-

I started this look by doing the eyes first. For the eyebrows I used Anastasia Beverly Hills dip brow in Soft Brown, sculpting around the edges with Kevyn Aucoin sensual skin enhancer in SX05. For the eyeshadow I used the Morphe Brushes 35P palette, take a light purple shade and apply it in the crease, using a lighter purple shade all over the lids.

Pro Tip: Keep the eyeshadow light and minimal.

For the eyeliner I used Ingot gel liner in number 77 to create the shape, I added glitter to the liner with the Urban Decay heavy metal glitter liners in Distortion, Glam Rock and ACDC. I used distortion in the inner corners, glam rock in the centre and ACDC on the outer flick for an ombre effect.

Pro Tip: Layer the glitter liners up a bit at a time for an opaque effect.

Before starting the drip effect apply foundation to the lower part of the face, up until the nose.

DETAILS

To create the melting ice cream effect I used Snazaroo face paint palette and mixed red, blue and white together to create a lilac shade. I then took a small angled brush from Charles Fox to create the outline. Starting from the top of the ear, sketching out a rough outline of the drips.

Pro Tip: Use a really thin brush for the outline for a precise application.

Once the outline has been done fill in the rest of the face using the same lilac shade. I find using a stippling brush or a damp beauty blender is easier than a buffing or foundation brush.

Using the same purple eyeshadow shade from the Morphe 35P palette, create a shadow along the edges of the drips, then going in with a white cream paint (I used the white from the Makeup Forever Flash Palette) to highlight, apply this in the areas you’ve created the shadow.

Pro Tip: Use a small brush for a precise application and a blending brush to blend out the edges.

Take a ashy contour shade and apply it underneath every curve, this will give that 3d effect.

Finally for the lips I used Jeffree Star Velour Liquid Lipstick in Virginity.

Purple wig from Annabelles Wigs in Violet.
