Halloween is here again, the time of the year where you get to dress like nightmares, yours and others'. 

My choice this year is rather close to my heart. Viking culture is something I find very interesting, and I actually enjoy meditating with runes and using their special magic. Based on this, I chose a viking warrior/witch look. 

I started by applying foundation, since it's a messy look so we don't have to worry about fallout, and applying foundation later would prove rather challenging. Then I applied my eyeshadow primer to keep everything from creasing and melting. Afterwards, using a black aquacolour and a sponge, I started tracing the main shape in both eyes and under my jaw and neck. I extended the paint to my temples and over my nose bridge to create a mask of sorts. At this stage, it's not a very intense colour, we want to layer. 

Now we start intensifying the black colour with a matte black eyeshadow that is intense. We also drag down the shadow with the brush or our fingers. 

Next with black and white eyeliner/aquacolour we start drawing some runes and lines. I also applied a black lipbalm to see how that went, and lined the inside of my eyes with black eyeliner, plus a couple coats of mascara.

Finally with a stiff brush/toothbrush and the black and white aquacolour, we spray the face, creating fine splatters of paint. You use a wetter texture with the aquacolour for this, what you do is quickly scratch the brush with paint at a close distance to your face so that it sprays a fine mist of paint. 

In the end I added some red to the black lipbalm and drew a white line over my bottom lip, and that's the finished look. 

With some braids and leather, I think it looks fierce. Did you like it?
