Make-up for Halloween does not tolerate compromises: it is dense, multi-layered and bright. We will not tell you how easy it is to draw a furry cobweb or an open zipper on your face, because we know that it is not so. Halloween makeup is neither light nor minimalistic, and for it you will definitely need:
- A black liner and / or pencil is a foundation that will help create cat's eyes with a nose, cobwebs on the eyelid, and darning scars. Variations in the form of dark purple shades are possible.
- Powder ─ almost transparent or dense white - the lighter the better - that will literally turn the face into a blank sheet, which is necessary for drawing the image.
- Contouring products ─ compact or in a stick - they will sculpt the desired contours on the face.
- Red or wine lipstick ─ it is very convenient for her to imitate bloody streaks, trickles and drops of blood.
- Neon shades. What it will be - a liner, shadows or varnish - you decide, the main thing is that the neon mysteriously glowed in the twilight of All Saints Day.
- A palette of bright shadows. All those colors - lemon, raspberry, blue, orange, light green and others - which are too provocative for "ordinary" life, will be useful to reincarnate as a witch or a zombie.
- Glitter ─ is needed if you decide to be on the bright side and decide to turn into a resurrected fairy or a unicorn traveling to paradise.

Zombies, Joker and Jack the Ripper victim: makeup by MAC makeup artists (@maccosmetics)
The credo of one of the key professional brands of decorative cosmetics is challenge and shocking. MAC is renowned for its fantastic palette of shades (and variety of textures, we'll add). The make-up artists have played enough with them. The bet was made on bloody - it will help to achieve, for example, long-lasting liquid lipstick or lip varnish.

Sewing Lessons & Spider Decor: Makeup From Smashbox Makeup Artists (@smashboxcosmeticsuk)
Products created by the great-grandson of Max Factor (the very same founder of the Max Factor brand) are ideal for long-lasting holiday makeup. We remember that the brand was founded by the owners of the photo studio? Must have, which we recommend to pay attention to - a rich blue lipstick Be Legendary. Do not forget about the "primer" of the skin and primers - the real treasure of Smashbox.
