Halloween is supposedly associated with disgusting, bloody and scary costumes, but since we in Slovenia don't really celebrate Halloween, why not create something more cute. Maybe I'll do something more Halloween appropriate too, if I have time, but for now here's a cute looking bunny that you can use for any costume party. I gathered some ideas from the internet and threw them together in my own way. Who doesn't like bunnies, right?!

I haven't done a DIY project in forever. Since this year is flooded with unicorns, I decided to make a cute pumpkin unicorn decor for fall. I've seen this on Pinterest and YouTube and it's by no means my idea. This is just my version with the things that I could gather together and I think it looks really cute. You can make it for fall in general, not just for Halloween. 

For this you'll need:

pumpkin

white, gold and red acrylic paint

brush

sponge

modeling clay

wooden skewer

white and pink felt

hot glue gun

fake plastic flowers

old fake eyelashes

I started by painting my green pumpkin to a white color. First I applied most of my white acrylic color with a brush and then I used sponge to make it look more textured and evenly blended. You can do it just with the brush, if you don't have a sponge, but I like this textured look. I pained two coats to cover it all.

For unicorn horn I used white modeling clay and made two cone shapes. Then I swirled them together to make a unicorn horn shape. I let it dry for a while, but you can also bake it, if the clay is for baking. Before you leave it to dry, also take a wooden skewer and put it on that. This will make it easier for you to stick it in the pumpkin later. Then I applied gold metallic acrylic color over it. For this I used a brush only. 

I cut out two bigger ears in a nude color and two smaller ears, for the inside part of the ear, from pink colored felt. Then I hot glued them together. You can also pinch them together at the bottom and use hot glue gun to stick together and make it look more 3D. 

I bough one stem of plastic fake flowers in a darker purple shade. The flowers are made in a way that you can actually just pull them off. I decided to also add the leaves and small green accents, so I cut these off to. You can use whatever you have at home - butterflies, flowers, leaves...maybe even real flowers. 

Once everything is dried and colored you can start to assemble it together. I started by pushing that horn we made on the center upper pumpkin part. Then I hot glued fake flowers on the top of the pumpkin to make a flower crown in a way. I also used green leaves as a base and those green accents here and there. I also hot glued on the ears. After that I took some old and used fake eyelashes and also glued these on in a downward position to make it seem like the unicorn is looking down with closed eyes. I took a bit of that white acrylic paint and mixed it with another red color to make a soft pink hue. With that color I took small piece of sponge and stippled it on to make it seem like the unicorn is blushing. It's super cute and easy to make.

Have you seen animated movie Hotel Transylvania? Ever since I saw that cute baby bat in that movie, I look at bats differently. Sure, some can look scary (just try googling them), but some are even really cute with their big black eyes. This year I decided to do a more pretty Halloween makeup, since I am not always keen on gruesome bloody looks (props to those that do it, because it's an art!). Here is my cute bat Halloween makeup look that is actually pretty easy to create with little makeup needed.  

I created a horizontal line going into my crease and two dots diagonally down from it. Then I used these points to outline bat wings shape. I filled it in and made it a bit more batman like shaped. 

I used the same matte warm shades around my lower lash line. In the inner corner I used a very reflective highlighter shade. On the center of my lower lash line, I also applied a small black stud from my nail studs collection to make it a bit more interesting. I also applied a mascara and false eyelashes. For this I chose a style of lashes that have a very spiky look as I felt these look the most alike to that pointy bat wing. I did my brows with a darker brow gel. Then I took a transparent brow gel and brushed them up to make them look bushy and mimic a more furry look.

I did my base as per usual with foundation, concealer and powder. Then I used a warm toned bronzer to compliment my warm eyeshadow. I also went a bit heavier with a powder contour around my cheeks and down the nose to make it stand out more. For a highlighter I chose a very reflective white based shade that really stands out from my pale skin tone. I also applied a peachy shimmer blush to make the look cuter and girlish. 

I used black pencil to outline small button nose and went over with a liquid pen liner to make it darker. On the lips I used black lip liner and went over it with a black lipstick. Since most of regular black lipsticks have a shine to them, I used matte black eyeshadow to set it down and make it look less shiny. This will also make it last longer on the lips. But before I applied black lip products, I used regular Halloween water activated white color that you can get in most drugstores and drew two pointy teeth on the sides of my lips. Where the teeth went over the lip, I used a contour shade to give them shadow and define the edges a bit more. 

I paired the look with a black choker and I used my previously used black bunny ears and molded them into a shorter and spikier ears. Because of the thicker band it actually looks more like a Minnie Mouse bow, but if you have thicker hair than me, you can easily disguise it. If you don't have ears, you can make them out of thicker black paper and attach them to one of those regular plastic head bands. 

Fairly easy to recreate and I think it looks kind of cute. I may do some more Halloween makeup looks in the next week, but I don't promise anything. Sometimes it comes out good and sometimes I'm just not satisfied with the results. Will you be wearing any costume this Halloween?
