Halloween Makeup - Gwen Stacy Ghost Spider Makeup Look

Happy Halloween everyone! If you guys have been around for a few years, you know we take our Halloweens pretty seriously (or at least - I take my Halloween pretty seriously and everyone else in the house puts up with it!)

I do try and plan my costumes around what my kids want to be and when Elliott said that he wanted to be something from the Spiderverse (it was Spiderman for quite a while), I knew that I wanted to be Gwen Stacy in her Spider costume - Ghost Spider! 

January Shop My Stash - Pantone Colour of the Year Ultimate Grey & Illuminating Makeup Look

I've taken a couple month break from my Shop My Stash looks because I had a ton of makeup to get through, so I'm excited to jump back in and play and create fun looks with my makeup stash!

I decided for my first look of the year, that I was going to go out of my comfort zone and do a makeup look inspired by Pantone's Colours of the Year for 2021 - Ultimate Grey and Illuminating! They chose two colours, grey and yellow for "a marriage of color conveying a message of strength and hopefulness that is both enduring and uplifting."

July Shop My Stash - Neon Orange Eye Look

I haven't been wearing much makeup at all this month, so it felt really nice to Shop My Stash and come up with a fun makeup look using my collection! These looks are always a monthly reminder to play and enjoy the makeup I have!

I was really feeling a bright neon look this month and I absolutely love how this look turned out with the orange makeup and that neon pop! 

January Shop My Stash Makeup Look - Classic Blue and Making My Own Lipstick

I'm keeping up the Shop My Stash makeup looks for 2020 because I've loved using them as a way to play in my makeup collection and create fun and exciting makeup looks! 

I purchased all the makeup featured in this look - this post contains affiliate links

I typically avoid blue makeup - I think it looks so good on some people; but, it's never felt like a colour that I could pull off! But, because Pantone announced the 2020 Colour of the Year as Classic Blue, I really wanted to have fun with the colour! 

Pride Rainbow Eyeshadow Look - August Shop My Stash

The Pride festivities are carrying on here in Calgary - they started on August 23 and go through September 2, with the big parade being on September 1, 2019! And, I'm hoping to be in the parade this year with a friend's work organization, so I was so excited to practice some rainbow eye makeup for Pride while shopping my stash!

I absolutely LOVE how this rainbow makeup turned out - I had always thought that big, fun, bright eye looks weren't exactly what I could pull off and this ended being easy to do and so so so fun to wear! I will be replicating this look on Pride Parade day!
