Scary masks, cheap wigs and fake blood repulse me. Too bad they’re here to stay at any Halloween party. My alternative? Moody make-up that won’t scare anyone off.
Most Halloween-inspired make-up makes me gag. Not because I don’t appreciate the SFX skills you need with all the latex, optical illusions and fake blood. That’s an art in itself. It’s the overall aesthetics I can’t stomach. What’s more, I’m not a fan of mandatory fancy dress at said parties. However, if you ditch the spook factor, you can go for dark and stylish. No need for a bloody axe or a sweaty wig. How? For example, with the right make-up technique to get the halo eyes effect.

By the way, the colour palette I used in the video is from Colourpop’s 2020 limited «Hocus Pocus» edition with Disney. That’s why I’ve linked a suitable alternative with similar shades of purple:

Natalie.Hemenguel@digitecgalaxus.chAs a massive Disney fan, I see the world through rose-tinted glasses. I worship series from the 90s and consider mermaids a religion. When I’m not dancing in glitter rain, I’m either hanging out at pyjama parties or sitting at my make-up table. P.S. I love you, bacon, garlic and onions.
