Here are 5 trendy and easy-to-do makeup looks for last-minute Halloween costumes:
1. Poison Ivy, DC COMICS
For the Poison Ivy look you can start off with your everyday base makeup routine. This includes your foundation, concealer, setting powder, bronzer, and blush. To prep the skin you can use the Milk Hydro Grip Primer, $34. This will allow all your base makeup to stay put all night long. To make this more glamorous you can add highlight and contour.
Begin, by contouring your cheekbones, forehead, nose, and jawline by using the Anastasia Beverly Hills Contour kit, $40. Apply the Benefit Cosmetics highlighter in ‘Cookie’, $30, for a beaming highlight.
Onto eye shadow, the Just My Luck 9- pan eyeshadow from Colourpop; $14, is perfect for this look. Start off by applying ‘Kiss My Hass’ all over the lid and into the crease. Next, apply ‘Act Natural’ to define the crease and ‘Mo Bamba’ to darken the outer corner. Lastly, add ‘Mary Jane’ to the inner corner and a bit onto the lid for a sparkle.
Applying mascara, false lashes, and eyeliner is optional. For the finishing touches apply the Fenty Beauty Stunna lip paint in shade ‘Uncensored’, $25, and set with the Morphe Continuous Setting Mist, $16 to lock in the look to last all throughout the night!
2. BellaTrix Lestrange, harry Potter
The Bellatrix makeup look is very easy to recreate. The look is mainly creating shadows on the face to create the allusion of sunken cheekbones and a thinner, smaller nose.
Start with a lighter foundation than your skin tone. Next, begin contouring using a cool tone contour or eyeshade to create hollowed cheekbones.
Apply the same cool tone shadow to your nose; create two straight lines close together on the bridge and blend to contour. Lastly, apply red shadow around the eyes and messily apply a nude lip.
3.Mia Wallace, Pulp Fiction
To achieve the Mia Wallace look, start off with a natural matte foundation that provides coverage but appears to look like skin. A foundation that would achieve this look is the Dior Forever Matte Foundation, $52.
For the eyes apply a wash of brown shadow in the crease. Apply a winged liner with the Glossier Pro Tip liquid liner, $16 and mascara.
Lastly, apply the Fenty Beauty Stunna lip paint in ‘Uncensored, $25 and fake blood to your nose. The last touch to completing this look is the wig. A short, black bob-styled wig with bangs can be found on Amazon, retailing for $26.99.
