Makeup Inspo for Halloween

13th October 2021

It’s finally the time of year to play around with your makeup look. Lipstick as face paint? Why not? Gothic nails? Say no more. Whether you’ve been dying to try a deep lip or a full-on face transformation, now’s the time to get creative, and we’re going to get you inspired.

The Vampy Lip

Halloween is a great excuse to try this on-trend lip look. If you haven’t been brave enough to wear it in your day-to-day, use this opportunity to try out your darkest shades of burgundy.

For a spookier look, try dabbing the lipstick around your eyes and patting with your finger to create a corpse-like effect.

The Blood Red

Lips? Eyes? Face? Who knew lipstick could be so versatile? A blood red shade is all you need to create the goriest of looks with the least amount of effort. Last minute Halloween party? No problem – grab a red and get to work.

Use a fine brush to paint on blood droplets or for a more detailed look.

The Gothic Nail

Staying in, but want a subtle to nod to the occasion? Try a deep, gothic shade on your nails. Wearable enough to surpass the event, but eerie enough to feel like you’re taking part, at least a little.

To keep this look modern and versatile, try painting just the tip like Isabel May and keeping the rest of the nail fresh and natural.

The Opportunist

Throw out the rulebook – Halloween doesn’t mean your look has to be scary. It’s a great opportunity to go all out with bold colours; let your imagination run wild.

Makeup artist @g.looks_ has curated an all orange look, balanced perfectly with our peachy lip shade, Cairo.
