Happy Halloween, nerds!!!

So today is Halloween. And up here in New York it is supposed to rain tonight. And last year was Hurricane Sandy and the year before that there was a freak snow storm. Basically God is putting the kibosh on slutty costumes. This does not upset me in the least. It is upsetting to me…

Option #3: Mermaid I don’t actually have a character I’m basing this one off of. It’s merely my own interpretation of mermaid makeup. I used NYC makeup to get this look. A light green loose powder and a darker green pencil.
