Before we can say 'Tata Bye Bye' to October we have to face Halloween!
Ooops rewind....because 'HALLO..October hasn't passed by as yet!' Before we can say 'Tata Bye Bye' to October we have to face the spectacular day called All Hallows' Eve globally known as Halloween!
31 October is also famous as the day lots of people celebrate Halloween. It's sad that we don't celebrate this fun day here in the Netherlands. Halloween is mainly celebrated in the United States of America, Canada, United Kingdom and Ireland. On the night of Halloween kids go in costumes house by house through the neighbour to call their famous trick and treat which referes to a little mischief or a little treat like candy or sometimes money. The neighbour is mostly decorated by lights and carved pumpkins to give this day it's scary mood.
Back in the Netherlands we have such a similar thing we call Sint Maarten, where the kids go door by door, sing a little song and get a treat in form of candy. However despite the similarity, the 2 festivities have nothing to do with each other.
I've learned that on Halloween many people also attend costumes party's, go to haunted houses, tell scary stories and/or play pranks. Which sounds like so much fun! ( Still on my bucket list.. spend a Halloween in USA..hihi).
So back here in the Netherlands there are some costume parties but very little in compared to countries celebrating. However the theme park 'Walibi' has their 'Fright Night's ' going on, on weekends of the Halloween month. They transform the park in a horror park with professionals walking around in there getup scaring the crap out of everyone and of course there are 5 haunted houses where fear is on the highest level, even if you don't want to be scared..you actually do LOL!
As a make-up artist I was stunned year by year to see all those other incredibly talented make-up artists creating these stunning and scary looks. So last year I helped my little sister and her boyfriend out with the make-up for their costume party, he wanted to be Mr Dracula and she needed to be the vampy witch!

Now this year I first gave it a thought... But quickly thought 'Why not.. just give it a try and by time you will get better!' So I created some looks on myself, one is a 'Sugar Skull' and the other a 'half skull'.
Hope you beauties like my creations!
Speak to you pretty people in my next blog!
