Any makeup artist will tell you that they LOVE halloween – it gives us a chance to challenge ourselves by creating completely different looks. I did makeup on 2 handsome men and it was so much fun transforming them into who they wanted to be for Halloween.

It was oh-so-much fun to put makeup on my hubby Eric, he has never let me get close to him with a makeup brush and this was finally my chance!

His goal was to be Bret Michaels- for those from the 80′s era – you know him from Poison otherwise he is known for his Rock Of Love show on VH1. I airbrushed his face and arms a few shades darker than his skin color and buffed on some bronzer to give him a spray tan kind of look…then I went in with the eyeliner and smudged it out (its too funny how much men tear up when doing eyeliner – they just have NO clue what we go through!). I also added a few tattoo transfers onto his arms and viola! Bret Michaels was born!!

Jake was a little bit more of a challenge The very pale Jake wanted to be the Ultimate Fighter – Kimbo Slice. I had to literally paint every single part of his face, head (his WHOLE head because he is bald), neck, nose and yes – ears!! It might of been the most awesome transformation ever. I had so much fun doing it. I went in with cake makeup to do a layer to darken the skin and then went over that with airbrush foundation and it looked pretty flawless. The best was that he knew he would be wearing gloves and a sweatshirt so he left with very dark skin and pale arms and hands. I loved it and he looked awesome once his entire costume was put together!
