HALLOWEEN - CAT MAKE-UP AND MAC SEMINAR

Quick doodle on the unloved kitchen whiteboard
MEOW! And I know it looks like I used two different sets of eyelashes on the bottom but basically one of them was malting!
With ears....
and without! I'm aware the photos are pretty much identical- sorry!
 Cat print skirt from Zara to complete the look, I wasn't too adventurous with my costume.... think the make-up was enough! 
MAC seminar goodies
It was much better than I expected. And apparently it was the first ever MAC technique class they've held up north (or so I over heard).
There were two MAC trainers demonstrating two different looks on two models simultaneously from start to finish using the new Christmas collection.
I wish I had brought my camera with me but I had no idea it would be such a professional event (cameramen, swanky lights and all).
I think if you are a beginner it is worth attending too see what techniques and products were used to achieve certain effects. Anyone a bit more advanced there was nothing 'new' but I enjoyed watching the artists at work and see how and why they did things.

Hey guys, this is my last Halloween related post! You can see my original test run post here.
I was really rushed with time and I managed to mess it up the first time round, so it's not as 'perfected' as I wanted. I tweaked a few things such as the colour palette and the eye duct area.... Which version do you prefer?
Anyway I am pleased with the results and I got a few compliments asking me who did it, which is always nice :)

HALLOWEEN TEST RUN - CAT MAKE-UP

THE MAKE-UP IS SUBLIME..... And where I got the eyes from!
 The whiskers/mouth area didn't look quite right..
So I took it off and added.....
Longer whiskers and moved everything closer to the mouth

Hey guys, thought I'd share my Halloween cat make-up test run. I usually don't do anything for Halloween but since I'm at uni' the idea of going out and getting drunk in 'scary' fancy dress appeals to me haha.
I was just going to do something last minute BUT I started to go into panic-need-ideas-mode when I was trying to think of something for my friend *I think I'm doing his make-up when he finally decides what he wants to be*.
I don't know if I'm just picky but I just couldn't find any cat make-up online that I liked. They would be either too complicated or just too simplistic.
Anyway I decided to take the Dior inspired cat eyes (I always refer back to that shows make-up) and just wing the rest... What do you guys think?
I have a week or so till Halloween so any critiques would help me enormously! And I will take 'proper' photos on the day as my test run make-up has so many 'off' bits!
