Poison Ivy Costume Makeup Tutorial

Originally, my inspiration for this look was no where close to Poison Ivy but I posted this look on my facebook page and got some comments saying it resembled her look. I couldn’t agree more and with Halloween coming closer, I decided to name this look after Poison Ivy. So for anyone needing a Poison Ivy makeup tutorial, here is my take on her look.

The products I used for the eyes are:
NYX Milk, MAC Indianwood paint pot, MAC Fig 1, MAC Vanilla pigment, MAC Trax, Inglot gel liner in #85, Sugarpill Burning Hearts palette, Coastal Scents palette for the lime green, black, and some purple tones, MAC gel liner in Blacktrack, MAC zoom lash, Ardell wispies lashes, MAC PRO pencil in Yellow

Step 1: Use tape to help give you a straight and clean line. Apply a white primer primer to help your colors pop more.

Step 2: Set your primer with a white or off white shadow. I am using colors from the Coastal Scents palette.

Step 3: From the Coastal Scents palette, I applied a lime colored shadow above my crease and on my bottom lashline. This is going to help the purple I add into my crease blend into a lighter shade so that this color can pop when the look is complete.

Step 4 & 5: I applied Indianwood as a primer on my lid only and added Trax shadow by MAC which is a purple shadow with gold specks.

Step 6: Using Fig 1 and black from Coastal Scents, I blended the two into my crease to help give more of a dramatic effect.

Step 7:  Reapply a matte white highlight color and any lime shadow that was lost.

Step 8 & 9: Apply the MAC Vanilla pigment on the inner tear duct area to help highlight. Be sure to use some on your bottom lash line as well as adding Fig 1 to the outer part of the lash line as well. Remove your tape and clean up as needed.

Step 10: (These products may have not been tested for the eye area. Use at your own risk) Using a liner brush, apply Inglot’s lime green gel liner on the entire water line. Go back with MAC’s Yellow liner and apply to the inner water line to help intensify the color. Add more shadow as needed.

Step 11: Apply your gel liner, mascara, and false lashes. Complete your look by finishing your normal foundation routine and defining your eyebrows.

Products for lips:
MAC Nightmoth lipliner, MAC Heroine lipstick, Inglot Gel liner #85, mini fan brush, Coastal Scents palette, MAC Spring Bean lipglass

Step 1: Start off by lining your lips with Nightmoth liner. Blend into your lip with a mini lip brush. Clean the edges with concealer if needed.

Step 2: Fill your lips in with Heroine lipstick and further blend with the lip brush.

Step 3 & 4: Taking a mini fan brush, apply the Inglot gel liner onto your lips. Next, using the Coastal Scents palette, set the gel with a similar eyeshadow color.

Step 5: Finish the look off by using Spring Bean lipglass, which is a lime green toned lip gloss. Apply heavy for a very glossy finish.

The completed look has my normal face routine that is mentioned in past tutorials/FOTD looks. The blush I am using is Victoria’s Secret bronzer and my eyebrows have a tutorial that can be found here.
