For Halloween I'm going to be a greek goddess, any makeup ideas?

Question

Ever since i watched the movie "troy" and saw helen, i said "that's what i wanna go as this year, a greek goddess." lol

Answer 1

Maybe look up photos of the actress in Helen. I think a nice porcelion skin tone with some rosy cheeks would look good, and use lots of pale colors i'm thinking. But I recommend looking up actresses who participated in looking like a greek goddess.

Answer 2

Oh your idea sounds wonderful and what a way to look feminine and beautiful for halloween. Here are some instructions for dramatic makeup http://www.costumerack.com/halloween28a.asp
that could be modified to be more like Helen. I would recommend changing the blue eyeshadow to gold or bronze. That should look really theatrical and classy.

Answer 3

ok this is what you want.

apply foundaton. a golden olive tone(if you have tan skin) if not then go for something that is a shade or two lighter then you skin tone.

for eyes you want earthy golds. apply a white cream color all over your eye. next put gold on your lid. cover it with the lid. then dust some of it off so it is not too over powering but yet adds a touch of shimmer and gold. put dark brown eye liner on ad black masscara. 2 coats if it doesn't look like enough. for cheeks take a big brush and put on the apples of your cheeks a rose color. for lips you could go with a dark apricot or peach.

hope this helps! happy halloween!

If you look like Rosanne Barr.... I suggest that if you wear a bedspread and use no makeup.... you'll be her "Spittin' Image"!!
