This week we have quite the Monster Mash on display that includes vampires, sea creatures, Frankenstein’s Monster, and more! Check out our Week 2 finalists below to get inspired!
		October ^5th Sarah Re @sarah.crimson “Graveyard” Sarah is a professional makeup artist based out of Austria. Her specialty is in face and body painting and she often creates imaginative FX and illusion work. This makeup was inspired by a painting by artist @il_quinto_m, as well as vampires in general. It is a vampire queen look that paints a detailed and eerie portrait of her background story on her chest. Sarah used our Paradise Makeup AQ™ in black and white to create this look.

		October 6^th Sanna Partanen @ssipe_ “Under the Sea” Sanna is an artist from Finland who draws, paints, and does some crazy beautiful makeup applications. Her looks are often whimsical and otherworldly. This makeup was inspired by the ocean and mermaids. She used Paradise Makeup AQ™ to create shadow and highlight in this look.

		October 7^th Megan O’Connor @makeupbymeg___ “Terminator in Wonderland” Irish artist Megan O’Connor work tends to bend the lines of creepy and cute. She always puts her own original spin into her looks. This makeup for example was inspired by color. She says, “I was dying to play with the lime green and it instantly gave me toxic waste kind of vibes from the color and I always loved the look of pop art zombies with cartoonish features”. Megan used Paradise Makeup AQ™ and our brand new product EDGE™ Face and Body Makeup to bring her vision to life.

		October 8^th Andy Le @thisisandyyle “Bloody Mess”” Andy is a makeup artist from Ontario Canada. His artistry covers everything from glam to gore! This makeup was inspired by the darker side of Halloween. He says, “The darker side of Halloween is where things can be a bloody mess and still remain beautiful” and that is exactly what this work depicts! At first glance it looks as though he has dumped a bucket of blood on himself “Carrie” style, at a closer look you can see all of this blood has been hand painted on with insane attention to detail. Andy used Mehron Liquid Makeup and Fantasy FX™ to create this look.

		October 9^th Ashley Marie @ghoulish_fx “Frankenstien” Ashley is a makeup artist from Indiana who creates beautiful makeups that are out of your worst nightmares. This look was inspired by artist Deanna Richmond as well as the Monster from Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein”. Ashley used Paradise Makeup AQ™ in lime green, green, and white as well as Fantasy FX™ in red & black to complete this look.

		October 10^th Britany Wilkinson @a.r.t.a.d.d.i.c.t “Skeletal Mermaid” Britany is an artist from Las Vegas, Nevada. She works in bodypainting, FX, and Cosplay. Britany says, “This look was created for the love of horror and something magical such as mermaids”. This creepy sea creature was made using Swimtails skeleton tail for the bottom and then Paradise Makeup AQ™ in white and black to match the top and create this illusion.

		October 11^th Caitlin Basdeo @makeupbycaiteb “Zoltara” Our final winner this week is Caitlin, she is a self-taught makeup artist from Connecticut. Caitlin describes this look as “A spin on a classic fortune teller, added a little bit of a witches brew to make her extra spooky”. She used Mehron Paradise Makeup AQ™ as a base, Metallic Powder for detailing, and two kinds of blood (Stage Blood & Squirt Blood) to finish off the look.
