Vamp Up Your Glam

27th October 2020

Halloween is one of the makeup highlights of the year. A chance to show off your skills, use those shades you’ve been dying to put to good use, and flaunt something a little bit different while sipping on a pumpkin spiced latte.

We’ve put together some glamorous makeup inspiration that feature intense lips and nails, perfect for a glam Halloween look. So, take a seat, prep your skin, and prepare to bedazzle and charm this Halloween.

Morticia Adams is everything we dream of being – the glamorous and powerful matriarch of the Addams family has long been a Halloween-glam favourite. She does things her own way and owns it, flaunting a flawless pout and long blood-red nails.

Sweep on some Cape Coast metamorphosis velvet lipstick to get her famous red lips – this berry red will provide an intense, full coverage and long-lasting lip look to compliment Morticia’s long dark hair and let you achieve her goth-meets-glam look.

We’ve been waiting all year for Halloween to come around again so we can give into our vampy side and transform into Maleficent. Heavy contouring, flawless skin and a blood-red lip is the key to becoming this Disney diva.

Wake up your sleeping cheekbones by contouring from the middle of your ear down to your mouth and sculpt along your jawline to get Maleficent’s chiselled bone structure.

Pick a red lip colour you love – we’re loving the classic red lip shade, Cape Town, a weightless lipstick that will remain in place the entire night. Sweep the lip shade in the centre of your pout and work your way out to the edges. To get the complete look like Angelina Jolie, we recommend widening the top lip by extending the lipstick just slightly beyond your natural lip line, or using our lip definer in the same shade to achieve this.

What better way to own a sultry lip look than becoming one of the most famous cartoon seductresses? With curves that enter the room before she does and her eye-catching red hair and pout, Jessica Rabbit is a Halloween look that is here to stay.

Red is the main feature of this look and we’ve got so many red lip shades to pick from to help you own it. To go all out for the occasion, we recommend matching your lip shade to your dress – so whether you’ve opted for a timeless classic red, or want to try an intense bright orange red, you’ll be able to find lips and nails to match.

You can opt to wear the gloves or show off your matching nails – remember this is your look, so it’s your rules.

Happy Halloween!
