1. GEOMETRIC- Festive Princess
This looks is for the true festival fanatic, complete with a metallic forehead tiara and gold glitter motif down the cheek. Geometric shapes and cool patterns in gold and silver paint are a chic way to accessorize your look.
Tattoo-as-jewelry or metallic flash tattoos like this tiara entered our fashion consciousness last summer, but they are all the rage this year! They look remarkably real and float across the skin. No wonder why they have become a beauty and fashion phenomenon!
2. ANIMAL INSTINCTS- Feline
Feeling sassy and fierce? Transform yourself into a wild animal with this fantastic cheetah look. Featuring a cute black nose, cheetah print eye shadow and playful whiskers, this look is sure to show off your prowess and turn heads at any party.
Cats are a symbol of mystery and secrecy. Whether you are headed to a carnival party or want to get an early start on your Halloween costume, this look is feminine yet purr-fectly feline.
3. NATURE CHICK- Shimmering Butterfly
Are you a flower child deep down inside? Pair your floral pants and tie dye shirt with this rainbow glitter butterfly face painting. Spread peace and love wherever you go.
Traditional hippie fashion styles originated at music festivals, especially at Woodstock in the 1960’s. And we love this flower in the hair and hippie rainbow butterfly painting with perfect placement on the cheekbone. You can even turn in up a notch by adding 60’s inspired eye makeup (think Twiggy with the bold lashes) to this look!
4. LOOKING EAST- Empress Wu
If you’re not trying to go totally wild but want to add a little something special to your look, why not try a look inspired from one of the Chinese dynasties?
This Empress Wu look with red lips, bold eye liner and lotus painting is named after the only female monarch of China. Empress Wu Zetian has been the subject of debate for more than ten centuries yet remains one of the most remarkable, influential and mysterious woman in Chinese history. Take her aura of mystery with you to your next party with this sensual costume makeover.
