Planning your style for this year’s Halloween party? If you’re wondering how you can create a chic approach to Halloween, then look no further. We have all the tricks for a great Halloween look, as well as which products to treat yourself with to help you achieve them. From flawless make up, to luscious locks. We have Halloween sorted! Trick or treat?!
Seductive Smoky Eye
Trick – The trick for a smoky eye is to blend! Start at the innermost corner of your eye, and gradually work your dark eye shadow outwards and upwards. Make sure the outer corner of your eye is the darkest area, and blend a little of the shadow under your eye. This will give you a seductive, yet mysterious stare.
Treat – Stila Eye shadow matte $18.00 each. The ideal product to blend, blend, blend!
Blood Red Lips
Trick – For a more powerful pout, lip liner is a must. It gives more prominence to your lips’ natural shape and outline. Apply your lip liner carefully by using soft strokes. This helps to avoid a heavy line, which can makes mistakes more obvious. Use a shade that is slightly lighter than your lipstick, so you won’t see a distinct, dark line against your lipstick shade. Pucker up ladies!
Treat - Revlon Colorstay around $7.49. There are 14 sexy shades of lip liner in the range. Wine is our favourite!
Snow White Skin
Trick – Summer sunshine has drifted away, so back away from the fake tan. Halloween calls for precious pale skin. However, this doesn’t mean piling on the powder and making yourself look washed out! The trick here is simple; apply a lighter foundation than your usual shade. Always use a good foundation brush on application, as this will give you well blended and even coverage. Paler skin will give you a classy contrast your eye catching red lips.
Treat – Maybelline Dream Liquid Moose Foundation around $9.49. This long lasting foundation will keep you partying all night long!
Haunted Hair
Trick – Fuzzy, funky hair was all over this seasons cat walk, and it’s spot on for a trend setting Halloween look. This style is perfect for mid – length hair. For electrified locks, wash your hair and then towel dry. Take small sections of your hair and plat all over. Leave your hair to dry completely, or use a hair dryer to save time. Undo your plats and hey presto! Vamp up your big hair with hair spray to hold the style.
Treat – Pump up the volume with Garnier Fructis Style Extra Strong Volumizing Anti-Humidity Hairspray.
Sleek and Simple
Trick – Longer hair will work well with this look. For the best result, wash your hair with plenty of conditioner. Apply a smoothing serum to the palm of your hand and rub your hands together so the serum spreads evenly over both hands. Apply the serum by clapping your hair between your hands and smooth downwards. Be careful not to apply the serum too close to your roots, as this can make your hair appear greasy. Then, blow dry your hair straight in a centre parting. Finally, use hair straighteners for ultimate sleekness.
Treat – L’oreal Paris Vive Pro Glossy Style Smooth Gloss Serum. The result - shiny, sleek, simple!
