Everyone Hail to the Pumpkin Queen!

So Halloween is just five days away! With that in mind I dug through my old uni pictures to find a costume I could share with you all that is fairly quick to put together and easy to do!!!


Do you wanna be a pumpkin?!


Okay, lets start with the face and the hair.

First you are going to need some orange face paint!

(I found one on amazon for you so just copy this link : http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00FRE5EFK/ref=s9_simh_gw_p21_d1_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=0ZF5MEY4AAYM4BD7BSC3&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=577048787&pf_rd_i=desktop )

You want to put this all over your face, and depending what other areas you have exposed those too. All you need to do is damp a sponge and go for it, you can build it up as much as you want. Being a student, at the time, I just used a washing up sponge so it doesn't have to be anything fancy!

For the eyes I used black eye-shadow and eyeliner, to make it look like triangles, again these are things that most of us ladies have! If you want something that will last but don't want to ruin your everyday make up I would highly recommend the Felt eye liner pen from Primark's P.S Love beauty range, at just £1 it is a bargain and I promise you it will last the night!

On to the hair! I just put mine it too a scruffy bun right on the top of my head to make it look like the top of a pumpkin. If you are unsure of how to achieve this then just copy the link and it will take you to Zoella's most recent 'Four quick and easy hairstyles' video and she shows you how to get a cute bun similar to that one!

Once I had my bun I used two cans of green glitter hair spray and nearly gassed myself in the process!! Now I got mine from a shop in York called Zest, however I have found a green chalk spray on Superdrug! http://www.superdrug.com/Superdrug/Superdrug-Green-Spray-Hair-Chalk-Green-Green/p/445200#.Vi0OONXhDnA As an added touch a picked apart a Greek styled leaf headband that I had lying about, these things happen when you're a student, and I pinned the leaves into my bun, very simple!!!

Outfit as you can see, is nothing too special or complicated. I went for an oversized orange dress which I very luckily found at H&M, now this was two years ago so you went get that one but anything orange is good. Ask friends, family and check every charity shop you can find! Look hard enough and you will find something! With the mixture of orange face paint and green hair spray I wouldn't get anything too fancy or expensive, keep it cheap and simple!!!

Then I added some stockings and black pumps!! I also cut a strip from an orange fleece blanket to tie
around my waist to make my top half look more round and pumpkin like!!! Coppy this link for the stockings/tights http://www.amazon.co.uk/Smiffys-Adult-Tights-Striped-Orange/dp/B003B9HADC/ref=pd_rhf_gw_p_img_4?ie=UTF8&refRID=0H3GZKNNBS4STMZNZ8P6


So that is it!! So easy and simple to do!! In case orange isn't your colour I have added a few other images of myself in fancy dress to help inspire you. And as for this years Halloween costume... Well I think three turns should do it...! Happy Halloween to you all!!
