Halloween Makeup ~ Quickly and Easily go From Normal to Glam!

Halloween comes around every year, making millions of kids happy of course, but what about you? Don’t you do want to fun things on Halloween as well? Most men really dig going looking as grossed out as possible and some of their partners are cool about it, but what if that just isn’t your thing?

 What if you want to be that sexy playboy bunny or Marilyn Monroe, a fairy or anything like that? You are really not going to be wearing ripped up clothes, and dirty things, you are going to be wearing a costume that is going to cost you about 60 +dollars correct? Do you want your makeup to reflect your normal everyday makeup or do you to really look like a playboy bunny, or farm maid, sexy cop?

It's time to step out your shell and be someone else, and truly play the part! Why not half the world is going to be out there with you right? The style of makeup you will need to do is going to be a bit harder to do.
It's finally 2022, and we can go out and be with people at parties!!
Halloween makeup used to be tons of it and the brighter & wilder the better! It was like you wanted to be able to be seen from across the room and give a great first impression. You never know who you might be meeting at all those Costume parties, Costume Contests, Masquerade balls, Themed Night Clubs that we as grownups love to be at on Halloween, right?

Some Halloween makeup ideas are going to take a lot of different colors to make the whole look come together. What’s different about going glam instead of ghoul is the style, of course of the makeup and what you do to create it.

After you have pick out the costume you want to wear this year, its time to decide how to do your makeup. If you are going to wear a mask at the party? Doing your eyes up would be a wonderful idea, don't you think?

Take a good look at your face and decide what is your best feature and work with it. For our example, we are going to use farm maid.

For a farm maid, or cowgirl, or even sexy cop you are going to want simple, but still be seen. So more makeup than usual will be needed, but tasteful done.

Start off with your best feature you are going to want to play up, and we are going to use eyes as our example.

A farm maid is going to have a simple innocent look such as doe eyes. That look is still something you will need to plan out because you want it to last you all night under all types of lighting.

Start off with your makeup primer, or foundation all over your eyelid. If you don't have a good makeup primer for your eye makeup? There is one I like to use by Milani brand called Eyeshadow Primer, that is affordable, and you can pick it up at your local drugstore. This is to keep your makeup in place. Next you will need an all over color and for this look pick something really light. I would recommend either Creamy Vanilla or Ceramic, both by Overall Beauty Minerals.

Smudge your base color on the lid, blending up and out towards the brow till it pretty much just fades away. A pale brown would work well for this. On your eyelid I would apply a color a bit darker than the base all over color, such as Sandcastles or Tabby, both by Overall Beauty Minerals.

Next you need to intensify that color with a darker color by adding it to the crease of the following the natural curve of the socket. A darker brown would work as well. Basic Brown or Oatmeal, both by Overall Beauty Minerals, would be good. Add a very nice Highlighter with a bit of shimmer up under brows to lighten under the brow line and use a round makeup brush to smudge it, the two colors together starting from the outside in.

Go easy on your eyeliner and do wear mascara. Looking for a great mascara that curls your lashes? Check out Maybelline called the Colossal Curl Bounce. Don't forget to do your eyebrows using the same color you use to do your makeup on any other day. If you look younger than you are, your eyes will be just right for this look.

Don’t forget your blush and wear a pretty pink if you’re a farm maid or cowboy. I recommend Bubblegum by Overall Beauty Minerals, its a nice soft semi-sheer pink. If you are using this look for a sexy cop, then go red with your lipstick. (If wearing a mask to the party, just really play up your eyes) If you are going for the sexy cop or nurse? Do wear a lot of red lipstick!! But don't go over-board with your eye makeup. Best not to do both.

This is the Halloween you need to set away from looking like you are going to be playing with dead people all night and walk out into the spotlight looking totally hot! Anyone can be a ghoul, but only those with the true know-how of how glamorous makeup is done can pull off the more beautiful looks. This year, let it be you! Have fun this Halloween, and watch out for all those ghouls!
