Cleopatra Makeup For Halloween Tutorial

Ahh, Halloween! Don’t you just love it?  I sure do.  This year I decided to be Cleopatra…again.  I love doing Cleopatra makeup for Halloween, specifically Elizabeth Taylor’s iconic blue eyeshadow look.

This is a really easy Cleopatra makeup look too.  It doesn’t take very long and you’ll look amazing at your Halloween party!

1) Start with a good primer.  For oily skin I like the Smashbox Pore Minimizing Primer because it makes my skin matte without feeling too dry.

2) Apply a full coverage foundation.  I decided to use the Cover FX Total Cover Cream Foundation in shade G50 (to look more tan).

If you have oily skin, you’ll want to go with a long wear foundation that’s more suited for oily skin, such as the Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation.  You can check out how it looks here.

3) Conceal any under eye circles.  I like this concealer for oily skin.  I used the shade medium since I’m not doing any highlighting for this look.

4) Set with a good face powder, like the Makeup Forever Super Matte Loose Powder.

Cleopatra Eye Makeup Tutorial

Now you can move on to the Cleopatra eye makeup!

5) To help your eye makeup last longer, you’ll want to prime your lids with an eye shadow primer.

6) Apply a blue cream eyeshadow to your entire lid all the way to the brow bone.

7) Now apply a blue powder eyeshadow over it.  I used the shade “Sapphire” from the CoverGirl Jewels TruNaked Eyeshadow Palette.  This will add more intensity.

8) Fill in your brows with a black pencil.  I actually used an eyeliner pencil for my brows to get the intense black.  Soft delicate brows don’t really go well with this look.  You want your brows to be bold and arched, extending them a bit at the end.

9) Your Cleopatra makeup for Halloween isn’t complete without a bold, ancient Egyptian style eyeliner!  Use a black waterproof eyeliner pen to draw a line from the tear duct all the way out until you almost meet the tip of your eyebrow.

Also extend the line a little bit passed the inner corner of your eyes.

A waterproof liner is a must so that it lasts all night.

10) Draw a line down at the same angle as the brow.

11) Draw another line out to connect to that line.  Now fill it in with the eyeliner pen and a black eyeshadow (to make it really black).

12) Fill in any empty space between the liner and the brow with more blue eyeshadow.

13) Use a black waterproof eyeliner to line your bottom lash line, connecting it to the inner corner line and the outer corner.

14) You can add a little design underneath one of your eyes (like the one above) with your eyeliner pen, but this is optional.

15) Add a pair of your favorite dramatic lashes.  I used the Ardel Wispies lashes.  Don’t forget to use a really black mascara on your bottom lashes.

16) Dust bronzer on the high points of your face (forehead, cheeks, nose and chin).  Tarte Amazonian Clay Matte Waterproof Bronzer is a great option for oily skin.  I used the shade “Hotel Heiress” to give me a super tan look.

17) Apply a beige blush on your cheeks.

18) Go with a nude shade for your lips.  I used Kat Von D Everlasting Lip Liner in D-Minor and MAC Lipstick in Peachstock.

Tips For Oily Skin

19) If you have really oily skin, you can dab on some of Paula’s Choice Shine Stopper over your makeup.

20) Next, set with a makeup spray!  Seriously, setting spray makes a difference and you can opt for one that is specifically made for oil control.

21) Lastly, pack some oil absorbing sheets in your purse for touch-ups later.
