5 Simple Halloween Makeup Looks
Emma Hunt

It's that time of year again - Halloween! Some people, like me, see this as our one chance to wear the craziest makeup possible and not be judged. Other people dread this day because working on a costume is impossible. Well, I'm here to help. I've compiled five makeup looks that you can easily accomplish with what little or copious amounts of makeup you already own. Happy Halloween!

1. Marilyn Monroe

Difficulty Level: 1

This look is super easy as long as you have a brown eyeliner pencil to create your famous beauty mark and red lipstick. I decided to add a small wing with my black eyeliner, and I'm also wearing false lashes. Throw on a white dress and a blonde wig (if you already have blonde hair, even better!) ,and you're all set.



2. Barbie Girl

Difficulty Level: 2

This look requires a little more effort. I attempted to make my skin as flawless as possible for that plastic look and put some rosy blush on. For the eyes, I blended a hot pink shadow in the crease and added a thicker wing and false lashes. I also put white liner on the lower lashline to make my eyes look bigger. Last but not least, I put on some Barbie pink lipstick.


3. Vampire

Difficulty Level: 3

This one looks way more complicated than it is. I went crazy with the dark eye shadows to create a subtle smokey eye. The eyes can be as light or dark as you want them to be - I didn't apply eyeliner, but it would add some edge. I contoured with a cool tone and put on my darkest lipstick. Then I smudged some red lipstick in the corner of my mouth for the blood effect.


4. Black Swan

Difficulty Level: 4

This look can be interpreted however you want, whether it be black swan from the ballet or the movie, a raven, or any other sort of bird. I took a brush tipped liquid eyeliner to sweep lines across my eyebrows to make the feathery effect. I did the same thing with my winged eyeliner and added a few spots. I went in with a nude lipstick, but it would look equally effective with something dark.

5. Skeleton

Difficulty Level: 5

While this one isn't too difficult to achieve, it is more labor intensive. I circled my eyes with shades of red and black and applied thick false lashes. Using a black eye shadow, I created a sharp contour and shaded with some red. I put on nude lipstick then used black gel liner to create both the lines across my lips and the shape of my nose.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
