Halloween Glam Meets Claw Chic: Easy Step-by-Step Look
It’s that time of year again—cue the spooky spiders, pumpkin carving, and, most importantly, Halloween makeup looks! Whether you’re heading to a costume party or simply want to get into the spirit, we’ve got the perfect easy (and last-minute!) makeup look to create from the comfort of your own... haunted house. Plus, we’ll throw in a fork hack (yes, a fork) to get your glam game sharp enough to outshine even the most chilling Ghost-face encounters! So, grab your makeup bag and get ready to slay literally and figuratively.
Step-by-Step Halloween Makeup Tutorial
Let’s start with a flawless base that’ll have you looking good enough to rival Wednesday Addams at her best.
Prime Your Skin: Smooth Affair Primer
First things first, prep your face with Smooth Affair Brightening Face Primer to smooth the surface and create a perfect canvas. Like how witches prep their potions, the primer is your spellbinding base for flawless skin all night. Remember - a little goes a long way. You'll only need a pea-sized amount to massage into your skin.
Conceal: PureMatch Liquid Concealer (Shade: your choice)
Banish any under-eye dark circles or blemishes like you're casting out ghosts with PureMatch Liquid Concealer. Gently glide and dab the product using the doe applicator onto areas you want fuller coverage and blend with your fingers, concealer brush, or magic wand.
Set the Base: PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation (Shade: your choice)
Next, apply PurePressed Base Mineral Foundation for that buildable, natural finish that won't budge (even if you find yourself in a horror movie chase!). Sweep the foundation onto your face utilising the trustee Handi Brush (don't buff), starting in the centre and sweeping outward. Bonus: it’s SPF! The final step is to spritz your base! Add a mist of Pommisst Hydration Spray to set your complexion makeup.
No Halloween look is complete without ghostly-good bronzing.
Bronze Away: PureBronze Matte Bronzer in Light
Blend PureBronze Matte Bronzer along your cheekbones, forehead, and jawline to add depth to your face. We recommend using the Blending/Contouring Brush—it’s like adding shadows to a jack-o’-lantern—carve those cheekbones!
Pop of Colour: PurePressed Blush in Awake
For a subtle yet spooky awake flush, add a touch of PurePressed Blush to the apples of your cheeks, or apply a tad higher than your bronzer and blend seamlessly together.
Eyeshadow Magic: PurePressed Eye Shadow Palette in Naturally Glam
Using a mix of shades from the PurePressed Eye Shadow Palette, sweep a light, ghostly, shimmery cream neutral shade across your lids as a base, then blend a shimmery copper gold hue into the crease, as well as drag this along underneath the eye. You’ll want your eyes to hypnotise, just like any good horror movie villain's gaze!
Lash Out: Beyond Lash Volumizing Mascara
Finish off the eyes with Beyond Lash Volumizing Mascara for dramatic, voluminous lashes—perfect for giving you that wide-eyed, final girl look when things get spooky.
It's time for the finishing touch—your lips. We’re channelling all the vampy vibes here!
Key Product Highlight: ColorLuxe Hydrating Cream Lipstick in Scarlet
For lips that kill, swipe on ColorLuxe Hydrating Cream Lipstick in Scarlet—a cool, medium red perfect for a sultry vampire look. It’s rich and moisturising, so your lips will stay luscious all night, whether you’re casting spells or dodging ghosts.
Gloss-It Up: HydroPure Hyaluronic Lip Gloss in Red Berry
For that extra snap (optional), crackle and pop, top your lipstick with HydroPure Lip Gloss to add a shine that’s as captivating as a witch’s spell. Whether you're sipping on a potion or heading out for a treat, your lips will be the night's highlight.
Now, it’s time for the fork hack! Grab your fork and ColorLuxe Hydrating Cream Lipstick. Cover the fork with your lipstick product to copy & paste a pattern onto your cheek. The fork’s your secret weapon to add a fun, claw, scratch-like effect that screams Halloween chic. To add some depth or shadow, dark a dark colour from your PurePressed Eye Shadow Palette and trace the line left by the fork prongs.
