Hey, ghouls! I’m on my way to a pet costume Halloween parade (insert collective “Awww…”) before dinner but wanted to say another quick hi. Here’s my look for tonight. I didn’t feel up to one of those deluxe MAC Halloween looks, and, since we’re just going out to dinner, opted instead for this moderately scary smokey eye with false lashes and pink lips.
I used MAC false lashes and a bunch of pigments to get this eye look, including Dark Soul, Smoke Signal and Your Ladyship from last year’s Smoke Signals collection.
Send me some pictures (karen_at_www.makeupandbeautyblog.com) of your Halloween look, okay? Be safe and sane tonight!
Your friendly neighborhood beauty addict,
Karen
I love it! ^.^ Hope you have a fun night!
OMG I LOVE THAT SMOKEY EYE YOU HAVE ON!
please please post a tutorial or quick steps. it’s a gorgeous look!!
OMG Karen I love this! I did an Elphaba (from Wicked)-inspired green look that isn’t nearly as sexy. More like mildly creepy–but I loved it lol!
*Jen*´s last blog post..Happy Halloween!
Awesome eye look ! But whats even more gorgeous is your hair. I love the loose waves ! My hair is straight and way down to my waist …I do almost nothing with it. Your are inspiring me to try something. Could you please do a post on how you did your hair for this picture 🙂

gorgeous! what are you wearing on your lips???
I also rocked a smokey eye tonight. I’m sure mine wasn’t nearly as good, but that’s okay 🙂
I just got home from the NYC Halloween parade. It was a blast and I’m so ready for bed right now.
Karen, you look amazing? What foundation are you wearing tonight? It looks flawless! I wish I could hit the town tonight… but sadly, I’ll be at the office covering high school football. *sigh* Happy Halloween!
Ahhh! You’re going to a pet parade? Are you dressing up Tabbs??? XD

Yes Karen, what lipstick? Love it , it looks so pretty!
hottt.
i love your hair.
and yes.i love your lipsticks.
and of course your eyes are smokin’:)
Hey Karen! You look soooo pretty! What’s on your lips?! GORGEOUS!
Any pics from the pet parade? 🙂
You look soooo gorgeous! Nothing scary about that. 🙂 I didn’t dress up for Halloween. (It’s not such a big deal in Norway.)
You always look pretty, but you look HOT lol. While handing out candy last night I read for a Japanese history course. I was happy because the book mentioned that Shiseido’s first postwar product was a “nail stick” to paint fingernails, but it looked like lipstick. I love when beauty pops up in random places 🙂
Scary?! More like S*E*X*Y!!! Wow.. this looks really hot on you!!! Break it down for us girl!!
You are an adorable zombie, love that Thriller move you busted out 🙂 I was a vampire, woo hoo! I had those just bitten lips and all ^_^

Woman, you look HOTTTT. The look and the tousled hair is SEXY! Way to rock it 🙂
the eyelashes are fantastic-**Swoon**. ya know, I’ve never, ever worn false lashes! hm. I’ll send you a Maggie and Sherwin pic in their costumes.
Very fierce, Karen! This is the kind of Halloween makeup I like 😀 I hope your H-ween was fun! We don’t really celebrate it here in Finland, which is weird. It would be fun to be dressed in a funny costume once a year. Is that too much to ask?!? LOL. Thanks for the Vitamin C tip, by the way! I’d better take them and see if that’d help cuz I’m still tired. As a consequence, I’m off to bed now. 😀 Have a great weekend! Talk to you later!
WOW GIRL that’s FIERCE! very, very gorgeous. you should wear that look everyday – we need more of this kind of drama in everyday life 😉 Hope your Halloween was fab!
P.S. I’m SO glad Tabs came home. I know it’s late but I just thought to say it anyway 🙂
P.P.S. Hope the rough patch you’ve been having is over and done with. Never forget how awesome you are Karen! xoxo
Hi Jessica,
Thanks! It was pretty mellow but a lot of fun. How was your Halloween?
Hi Catherine,
Sure! I wrote down the stuff I used (such a nerd) so I’ll put something up. Are you a MAC Pigments kinda girl?
Hi Jen,
Thanks for sending me your pics! I loved your green eye!
Hi Indian girl,
Sure! I think it’s the Bumble and Bumble products I’ve been using… my hair is really fussy, but it responds well to the Curl Conscious stuff. Do you have wavy hair, too?
Hi Angeli,
It’s a mix of three things: Chanel Lip Liner in pretty pink, MAC Modesty lipstick and Chanel Glossimer in Astral.
Another option is to switch out the liner for MAC Pink Treat Cremestick liner and the gloss for MAC Dazzleglass in Love Alert. Hope this helps!
Hi Brittany,
I bet yours was gorgeous! Did you wear false lashes? Man those things are a PIA!
How fun! Who did you go with to the parade?
Hi Tiera,
That’s Laura Mercier Oil-Free Foundation. It covers *everything* and photographs beautifully. I’ve had it around for a year, but kinda forgot I had it until recently.
My In-Laws went to into town and said the costumes they saw people wearing in Waikiki were amazing!
Hi Mariah,
I didn’t end up getting him a costume because last week when he was MIA I wasn’t sure if he’d be around. It was raining, anyway, plus, the entire parade was all dogs. I guess it was a good thing he stayed at home! 🙂
Hi Karen B.,
How glam! What color lipstick did you wend up wearing? Did you go red?
Hi Anna,
🙂 Sure! I wrote all the stuff down that I used. It was a bit more complicated than my usual looks, but I’ll find a way to simplify it!
How was your Halloween?
Hi Eru,
Awww, thanks sweetie! I dunno… I felt pretty crazy in those lashes.
How have you been? Hope you’re having a great weekend!
Hi Tricia,
Chanel Lip Liner in pretty pink, MAC Modesty lipstick and Chanel Glossimer in Astral. 🙂
Hi Mimi,
Aww, thanks! Our evening was pretty low key, but fun. How was your Halloween?
Hi Tara,
I used three things — Chanel Lip Liner in pretty pink, MAC Modesty lipstick and Chanel Glossimer in Astral.
🙂
Hi Shockingpink,
Thanks! I felt mostly scary, but hey! Hot I’ll take. 🙂
Hi TIffany,
I took a couple of pics from the parade… I put ’em on on today’s post!
Wow, I will have to do an individual post featuring these lips, I’m thinking! I used Chanel Lip Liner in pretty pink, MAC Modesty lipstick and Chanel Glossimer in Astral.
Hi Karen Too,
Thanks! Aww, not even a little scary? 😉 How’s yoru weekend been?
Hi Marissa,
That’s a neat fun fact. I love random bits like that. I wonder what color it was… I’d love to find a picture of it!
Hi LuvJ,
Okay! I’ll have some time this week so I’ll budget some time for a tutorial. 🙂
Hi Dao,
You are the cutest vampire! We must unite and rule the night! Tabs can be our vampire kitty mascot. 🙂
Hi Marisol,
We ended up eating Indian food in San Rafael. Have you ever been to Om?
Hi Beth,
Thank you for sending me your Halloween look! I loved it!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Hi Prettycupcake,
🙂 Thanks! It’s a bit out of character for me, but it was fun! How was your Halloween?
Hi Amanda,
LOL, I loved your puppy pictures! I need to find hats like that for Tabs. 🙂
You know, I never thought I’d ever wear those lashes… I’m glad I held onto them!
Hi Aleks,
You’re welcome. We have these things called Emergen-C here in the US (Megan, who comments on the blog told me about them), and I have a packet with my water every day. I think it makes a diff…
I hope you have a great weekend, too!
Hi Jousy,
Thank you for this note. I’m hanging in there…
Yup 🙂 MAC’s Lady Bug. Quite red eh? 😉
Karen B´s last blog post..Top 200 my ass
Hi Karen B.,
NICE! Yes, that’s quite red. But hey, if you’re going to go big, go all the way! 🙂
Never been to OM. The only place that I have been to is the one on Fourth Street in San Rafael and the one near the Travelodge in Mill Valley.

Hi Marisol,
It’s really yummy! The food is spicy, but you can ask them to turn it down a notch…
I often pass by that restaurant in the Travelodge and I wonder about it! It kinda looks sketchy on the outside.
Thanks, Fresh!
This is such a SEXY gorgeous look :):):)
