Halloween: Greek Goddess

Last night I went to a Halloween party and decided to dress up as a Greek Goddess - This is only because my sister already had the costume in the house and I was too lazy and skint to buy a new one, so I was very uncreative. My sister got the costume from eBay two years ago and made the hairband herself. My shoes are from Red Herring at Debenhams which I've had for about 3 years so I pulled them out the wardrobe and they went perfectly!

I wasn't too sure how to do my hair so I googled photos of Greek Goddesses and ended up going with this style. Firstly I backcombed my hair at the crown using my Denman backcombing brush and a little bit of Osis Dust It to add more volume and pinned it in place with a few kirbies. I then pinned all my hair to the side and added a few of my clip in extensions for more length and volume and curled it using tongs. Finally I pulled a few strands down at the front to frame my face and added the hairband - so simple and only took about 10/15 minutes!

For my makeup I wanted a really glowing gold look and my sister said she had an idea for it so I just let her get on with it and it turned out amazing! She ended up doing my boyfriend and my friends makeup too and we all looked so good. So here's what she used on me (which is A LOT)...
