Hi everyone, I'm going to a friends fancy dress birthday bash in a few weeks time and the theme is E (for Emily). I'm thinking of going as an Elf and busting out some artsy makeup (which is bound to go unnoticed as the people attending are not really into makeup...) and some elf ears.

I know a lot of you love lavish makeup and was wondering if I could run a few ideas by you, and obviously listen to your creative inputs! Nothing is too extreme here :)

I love this look or something similar? Doesn't have to be green.

Or maybe a elvish-y headress and focus the makeup on the eyes?

I would highlight the eyes for sure. Using a blend of green, yellow & white. Have a nude colour lip. Blush is a mush. To get the nose right. Get some bronzer & blend it down the sides of the nose. It will give it a better definition. Also do it with the jaw line as well. Hope this helps

Oh yes definitely glam elf :) thank you for the input though, I would be great for a woodland elf I go down that direction!

If you were going that way. Kinda a winter elf. Use more black, brown & white for the eyes. Still do the contour of the nose. With the first photo to get the look with the glitter. Put clear lip gloss on your face where you want it to go them apply the glitter. It will last the night & easy to remove

Try also to get a black or white vale to put over you face or over one eye. You could so also glue like little bits of leaves to the vale.

Would lip gloss on my skin cause a break out? Liking the ideas, thank you dear! :)
