My very gorgeous daughter has always as long as I can remember enjoyed dressing up, so you can imagine what fun she has each year at Halloween. For the party this year she was, apparently, a 'sugar skull Mexican day of the dead' type person/thing...I have no idea either! If you'd like to see the step by step method she used to put this look together check out her blog (
Midnight Pie). Last year she was luminous green and 'Frankensteins's Bride' and then there was Medusa, oh my you should have seen the snakes! It's a little disconcerting seeing your 'child' (she is 27 but still my child) driving off looking like 'the living dead' This how I prefer to see her below..... Have a fun Halloween.....!!
Love it! Great shot.
ReplyDelete... to be a child.
ReplyDeleteGreat work. Must be decades since last I went to enjoy Halloween. Please have you all a good new week ahead.
Wow! I think I need to try dressing up - I envy her costume for this year. What a lovely woman she is Grace!
ReplyDeleteNow that is something I will have to keep in mind for next year. She's very creative.
ReplyDeleteThe make up is so amazing, very artistically done. She looks a fright! Very pretty young woman indeed when herself. :)
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! Amazing makeup - hope she didn't go to bed like that!
ReplyDeleteGreat shot and great makeup work, she looks so beautiful as a Catrina (La Calavera Catrina ('The Elegant Skull') is a 1913 zinc etching by Mexican printmaker José Guadalupe Posada. The image has since become a staple of Mexican imagery, and often is incorporated into artistic manifestations of the Day of the Dead in November, such as altars and calavera costumes. The etching was part of his series of calaveras, which were humorous images of contemporary figures depicted as skeletons, which often were accompanied by a poem. - Wiki) I'm so glad that your daughter choose this Mexican theme for Halloween!
ReplyDeleteMy wife has a Dia de los Muertos collection in her home office. Most are full figures of very small people. She has one skull that is probably a little larger than actual size. Your daughter's face painting has some similarities to the painted skull that Julie has. Maybe she plans to post it for Halloween tomorrow. I don't know what she has planned.
ReplyDeleteYour daughter's face painting is scarier than the real Dia de los Muertos skull.
she looks great even when she tries to be scary!
ReplyDeleteWOW, brilliant makeup.
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful person!
ReplyDeletewhere DOES she get it? LOL

You have a beautiful "child!"She's not only beautiful but she is creative and imaginative as well. Love the Day of the Dead make-up. Happy Halloween to both of you!!

ReplyDeleteEnjoy Halloween !

That is a fantastic make-up job! It sounds like she is a very creative person!
ReplyDeleteCertainly a change from the endless supply of witches and cats. And thanks to Carraol for further enlightening us all.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous make-up!She even succeed to be pretty that way! Happy Halloween to you and her!
ReplyDeleteWowowowowwow! Fantastic.
ReplyDeleteNo all Hallow's Eve here. Nothing, rien, nada.
Great, scary but still fascinating! Don't worry 'kids' well beyond fifty are usual here and their moms still call them 'bimbi'. This is the plural of 'bimbo', a Tuscan affectionate word for a male kid, which has nothing to do with its counterpart in English.
ReplyDeleteI doubt you have a daughter that age, you look far too young.
ReplyDeleteWow! Great colourful shot, although I'm glad you added the more human face of your beautiful daughter below it! Have a nice week Perth!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and terrible!:))
ReplyDeleteBless her heart, I hope you both have a lovely evening.
ReplyDeleteThanks Mamma! I was quite chuffed with this look, even if it did take ages to do...
ReplyDeleteShe's a beauty either way, Grace!
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween wishes from EAGAN
Fantastic make-up... and making off!! Beautiful "child" and a beautiful shot too.
ReplyDeleteGreetings, Grace , and happy day .
en France Halloween reste confidentiel
ReplyDeleteFantastic makeup! I'm always impressed with such creativity. Hope she had fun.
ReplyDeleteUgh, that I was scared. They see that good fun Helouvin. The mask and the photo is great. Greetings! / Peter
ReplyDeleteMy first thought when I saw the photo was that there's a very beautiful woman under all of that makeup!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
She is definitely an artist. Her face paint is amazing! I like her both ways, but her first look probably wouldn't be accepted the rest of the year. :)
ReplyDeleteMe again! Re your question on The Villages: It seems just about every one of the 80,000 people who live in The Villages drives a golf car (they don't call them "carts"!)
ReplyDeleteThis is just a typical scene on any evening in either of the two downtown areas. This shot is in Lake Sumter Landing (the other downtown area is Spanish Springs) and behind the golf cars and regular cars are a variety of stores including a Starbucks Coffee shop.
Have a great week!
oh gracie, the apple didnt fall far from the tree ..
ReplyDeleteI love it! And what an artist indeed! And a lovely young woman without the paint as well! I'd be willing to bet that she has fun year round, with or without the costumes! Hope you both have a great Halloween!
ReplyDeleteSylvia
Certains maquillages sont beaucoup plus beaux que d'autres. Je te souhaite une belle fête, Gracie!
ReplyDeleteGoodness gracious me!
ReplyDeleteGolly, what a transformation!
ReplyDeleteWow, great make-up job!!
ReplyDeleteMaybe, but I'd still like to meet her
ReplyDeleteStunning make-up work and naturally gorgeous :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! That is a real work of art. Luckily you got a good photo before it was washed off. Too cool!
ReplyDeleteThat's fabulous. How long did that makeup take. She still looks beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that's really elaborate face painting. Very effective. Wonder what the rest of her costume looked like.
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween! That's a total make over! A very interesting festivity!
ReplyDeleteFantastic make-up! I just wonder how many hours she spent doing it...
ReplyDeleteGreat model and great creative work!
ReplyDeleteLove both your images.
