If you’ve got some “too pale and ashy!”-foundation, a dark red nail polish & lipstick; and a black dress – consider your last-minute vampire costume ready.
Note #1:
I am not adding the Korres nail polish featured here to my Korres lacquer range post because “Ruby Red” is/was a limited colour. Here it is for the record in its metallic splendour:
Note #2:
Check out the following post with the A to the frequent Q:
“Is Korres really an all natural brand?”
A GREEN-PRODUCT BASED, LAST-MINUTE HALLOWEEN LOOK
All you need is a classy attitude – as we all know, vampires are the most classy, fashion-savvy monsters! – a lot of black, a little white and a tint of red:
1. A gorgeous, blood-red nail polish (Korres, ‘Ruby Red’)
2. A matching, deep red lipstick (Paul Penders, review + other clean reds here)
3. A foundation that’s too pale for you, think 90s grunge, (Inika, ‘Grace’) or add a silvery pigment to your regular mineral foundation.
4. A black dress, long and knitted is a winner!
5. A pair of very elegant black shoes…

I actually like the nail polish colour 😀 I do like this idea – because it will still feel elegant, and I like feeling elegant even when dressing up like anything 😉
Yes, that’s the idea behind it: costumed but subtly. (Wearing my artifical custom-made fangs. Bwahaha.)
I immediately thought of Pam from True Blood. If I can get my act together I’d like to be her or Gemma from Sons of Anarchy 😀
Gemma is waaahay harder to pull off – very specific hair colour, and you’d need a latex scar 🙂
