ALL YOU NEED FOR A LIT HALLOWEEN LOOK: STEP-BY-STEP MAKEUP TUTORIAL
Hey ghoul-friends! Halloween is just around the corner (I know, right?!) It’s the one night we can swap our usual
oh-No-I-woke-late-again makeup for something a bit spookier. I’ve been playing with different looks here and there and I can’t
wait for you to try them out! Get ready because I’m going to spill my Halloween makeup secrets now! 🎃👻
THE PREP: SKIN CARE, BECAUSE SCARING DOESN’T MEAN SCARING YOUR SKIN!
Okay, you can’t just dive into the fun part. We gotta show some love for our skin first—like a care package before a scary movie.
So, pull out your trusty skincare products. If you don’t have any (though seriously, what are you waiting for?), check out my
faves for some inspiration.
- Cleanser: I’ve been raving about REN’s Evercalm™ Gentle Cleansing Milk. So good it’s spooky!
- Toner: For toner, Paula’s Choice Skin Balancing Pore-Reducing Toner is genuinely a game changer, guys.
- Moisturizer: As for moisturizer, I’m living for Glossier’s Priming Moisturizer. I mean come on, it’s a moisturizer and a
primer. Talk about multitasking!
Take your time with this. Apply and give them a moment to sink in. Next up, makeup time!
CHOOSING YOUR LOOK: EMBRACE HORRIFICALLY GLAM
Whether you’re going as a sultry vampire, a cackling witch, or a zombie cheerleader, you need a look that screams Halloween–and I
mean the good kind of screaming!
BASE MAKEUP: LIKE PAINTING A MASTERPIECE
- Primer: To start with, spread e.l.f’s Poreless Putty Primer.
- Foundation: Then, mix Fenty Beauty’s Pro Filt’R Soft Matte Longwear Foundation & Pro Filt’r Hydrating Foundation. (Because,
yes my dear, you CAN have it all—matte and hydrating.) - Concealer: Pat on some Tarte shape tape concealer where it’s needed.
- Setting Powder: Swipe on Huda Beauty’s Easy Bake Loose Powder to lock it all in!
Guys, it’s not just about slapping them on, but blending them in as well! Remember, we’re going for ghoul, not ghastly.
HALLOWEEN HIGHLIGHT: IT’S ALL IN THE EYES
I won’t lie; the eyes are going to be a bit tricky, but who’s up for a challenge, right? Choose your Halloween colors and go
crazy. Don’t forget your smokey under eyes—it makes all the difference!
LUSCIOUS LIPS TO DIE FOR
Depending on your look, your lips can be vampy red, deep purple, or numbingly nude — shade them and remember to moisturize those
pouty lips before and after!
THE FINISHING TOUCHES: IT’S TIME FOR A BIT OF MAGIC
Now for the pièce de résistance – Faux Freckles for that I-just-came-out-of-a-cobweb look, or glitter-wounds because nothing
screams Halloween like sparkling scars. Pack some extra glam with glittery hair and accessorize.
Voilà! You’re ready to spook and sparkle this Halloween!
Go ahead, try out this tutorial, and tag me on social media with your look! I want to see what ghoulish glamour you babes are
cooking up.
Remember to wash off all that makeup before you hit the bed! Treat your skin with the respect it deserves, even after the night of
the witches.
FINAL THOUGHT
Halloween makeup can be a lot to handle. But with the right products and a dash of creativity (not to mention, a pinch of
patience), you can put together a look that would make Morticia Addams jealous! Happy Halloween, you scary beauties!
