Konnichiwa Minna ♥ I've been away for a while due to an illness, so I thought I would come back with a magical bang! This is my transformation into Hermione Granger, I wanted to try a really simple cosplay and so Halloween was the perfect opportunity.
Firstly I styled my own hair, since it's basically the same general colour/style of Hermione's I thought I would just keep it natural instead of using a wig.
Now onto the face make up, I used a moisturizer first to make my skin a lot more hydrated and then proceeded with my new Illamasqua Satin Face Primer. I then used my Lancome concealer for my under eyes, and any other red spots or imperfections on my face.

Next is my bb cream, since I have discovered Korean bb creams no Western foundation/bb cream can top them. So I used my Skin79 Diamond Prestige BB Cream all over my face, and then blended it in with a beauty blender. At this point I would say to add a powder if you have oily/combination skin, but since my skin is super dry I usually miss that part out.
To finish the look I added my Estee Lauder blush and used a really shimmer white/beige from my Naked Basics Palette as a highlight to all the high points on my face.
For the eyes I started with my Too Faced Shadow Insurance as the base and added a light beige shadow all over the lid, over this shadow I added a champagne shimmery colour to make my eyes seem brighter. For the crease I added a soft chocolate brown to give my eyes more dimension and I the added my brown liquid liner and lengthening mascara. I think it makes everything look more natural if you stick to brown tones for your liquid liner.
After adding mascara I picked up the same white/beige for my highlight and I added it to my inner corners. I then finished my eye look by adding my circle lenses from GEO Medical, I already have hazel eyes but I really wanted a doe-eyed look for Hermione, since her eyes are so bright and bold.
The costume was super simple and inexpensive, The robe and tie were bought from eBay, the shirt is from my Haruka Nanami cosplay, the skirt is from Yesstyle, the shoes and socks are from Primark. Without including all of the parts that I already had (make-up, shoes, socks, shirt etc), the costume as a whole was £17.
