30 Nights of Halloween (Days 1-6)


Welcome to my 30 Nights of Halloween!
Every day leading up to Halloween, I will release a series of 5 photos for an October-inspired makeup character! I have been tweeting them to you all so far, but wanted to put them all in one place so you could take a closer look. 

DAY 1: PUMPKIN
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King! Jack O'Lanterns have been said to protect homes from evil spirits on All Hallow's Eve, but it has really been the Pumpkin King keeping the ghosts away for centuries. But now he is old and tired, so who knows what darkness may slip past his watch...
Jack was a blacksmith who encountered the devil. He trapped the devil in an iron cross until he agreed not to take Jack's soul when he died. When that happened, Jack was too sinful to enter Heaven, but was free from Hell: he was stuck with nowhere to go. Lost in the dark, Jack pleaded with the devil for a way to see, and Satan mockingly threw him an ember from the fires of hell. Jack carved out a turnip and placed the ember inside to give him safe passage through the darkness around him. Known as Jack of the Lantern, he became a symbol of protection against the undead, and took the mantle of the Pumpkin King.





DAY 2: FALL LEAVES
The goddess of the harvest is here to bring autumn to the world. Respect her power and her beauty, for all of nature is at her control. Samhain is a Gaelic tradition celebrated from sunset on October 31st to sunset on November 1st. This was considered the coming of the "dark half" of the year. This Pagan deity is praised for bringing a close to the harvest and changing the colors of the world. 






DAY 3: RAVEN
Quoth the Raven nevermore...Death appeared in the final chapter. He searched for her. Longed for her. But when he asked her to dance, she re-wrote her story...by getting rid of the entire book.






DAY 4: TRICKS
No one said sawing your beautiful assistant in half was an easy trick to learn, but if you don't have to put them back together, then why bother doing it right?






DAY 5: TREATS
Sugar and spice, and everything nice! This super sweet pixie will give you a cavity just looking at her!






DAY 6: MASK
She wants to come and play. Will you let her in?
When she was a little girl, Priscilla cut her grandmother's face off and stapled it to her own. Now that she is grown up, her thoughts are still trapped in that delusional little girl's mind and all she wants to do is have you be her friend.






SO WHAT DO YOU THINK?
