Easy,quick Halloween costume 'broken doll' ~ Katey-Anne




Hey there!
I was invited to a movie night at my friends house to watch horror films last night and I thought I'd share with you my easy last minute costume! 





I started this look by applying my usual base of foundation and basic make-up, Next I used my MUA eye-shadow palette 'undress me too' to cover my lid in a base of the shade 'reveal' and blend the shade corrupt into my crease. This gave my eyes a stunning black smoky eye and as I don't get the chance to use that dark a black in every day life, I was pleasantly surprised at the pigment and glitter in the shade. 

Next I took the shown bat face paint that mum & I purchased from Tesco. Having watched a few you-tube videos and researched on Google images I attempted to create a creepy looking broken doll. I used the white to give the effect of larger eyes and then drew on eyelashes and cracks that came from my mouth elongating the smile. Finally I lined just under my water line with red to give a creepy eyed look and painted the pout lips on (I then went over with dark red lipstick as it showed up better) 

I ruffled my hair and sprayed it with a mountain of hairspray to give it more texture before putting on my outfit. Originally I had planned on wearing a black lacy dress but opted instead for a black leotard, long black skirt (short at the front) and patterned tights. I think this costume is so re-creatable and easy to do last minute as the outfit is just things you have lying around the house. 

I hope you enjoyed this post and maybe it gave you a little inspiration too!

comment what your outfit was this Halloween! 

Lots of love Katey-Anne xox

Septemeber 2014 look back~ Katey-anne




I won an award!

In July I received a very exciting phone call from the director of the play I was in called 'The miracle worker' I had been given a nomination for best young actress in the North Essex theatre Guild! 

On the 12th of September my family & I got all dressed up to attend the event and I was totally shocked to discover I had won! 
Getting on the stage I could hear the screams from my family and fellow cast members as my knees began to ever so slightly wobble. 
I'm still in awe whenever I see the award in my living room and I can't thank everyone enough!




Starting sixth form college

This September I took the next leap into my education into the wonders of A-levels. I moved to a college of 3000 16-18 year old's and knew only about ten people there. I choose to take; Drama and theatre studies, Performance studies, English literature & Geography! 
Despite the challenge of the new environment and the mountains of work load I am completely loving this new little adventure and I look forward to what college has in store for the next two years! (20,000 essay's I expect) 


 Visiting Harry potter World!

On the 28th of September few of my friends and I visited harry potter world for my friend Anna's 19th Birthday! (you're never to old for harry potter trust me) 

It was an unbelievable day of magical memories. 



Thank-you for reading this little update/look-back, Feel free to let me know below what you got up to this September!
Lots of love
