Halloween Look >> Pocahontas

This is my first Halloween look and it's incredibly easy to achieve. I was inspired by Pocahontas' natural beauty and minimalistic makeup. She is strong and fierce and you can tell just by looking into her eyes.
Products Used:
Victoria's Secret >> Silky Eye Shadow Velvet Pose
Lorac >> Stay Cool Palette Black Shadow

How To:
1. Start off by priming your face with a primer, then apply your favorite foundation. You can even choose a shade or two darker than your current shade for a more bronzed look.
2. For your brows, choose a chocolate brown shade and keep them fairly straight, not too arched, not too long.
3. Next, prime your lids with an eye primer.
4. Conceal any dark circles or blemishes with concealer.
5. Using a black pencil eyeliner, line your upper and lower waterline. Then using a liquid eyeliner, line your eyes in an almond shape, slightly thicker at the outer ends and connect the top and bottom corners. The eyes are very important for this look because you don't want a wing, and you don't want it to look unnatural.
6. Then use a matte black shadow to set the liner and smooth out the edges for a more natural look.
7. Next, coat your lashes with lots of black mascara. You can add falsies if you want.
8. Using a matte medium bronzer, sweep it all over your face, focusing on the contours of your face and temple. Then using a slightly shimmery bronzer, apply it in the contours of your cheeks for more of a sculpted look. Pocohontas has really nice cheek bones so you'll want to emphasize that.
9. Finally, apply a terra cotta/rose lipstick color to your lips. You can use a nude lipliner to outline your lips like hers, the top lip is round and fuller than the bottom.
Outfit:
You can keep the outfit relatively simple with either a tan tank top and shorts or a tan dress. Straighten your hair at the ends and add a bit of volume to the top, nothing too dramatic because you want it to look wind swept naturally. Add a teal necklace and some neutral flats and you're done!
