Hello Galaxy Princess

Nothing screams space goddess than this galaxy-inspired easy Halloween makeup look. To achieve this out-of-this-world cool vibe, dip into those galactic-hued shadows. Prep your eyelids with a long lasting primer and blend in the shadows to create a gradient effect. Start with the lightest colour in the inner corner moving to a dark colour towards the end. For bonus points add some rhinestones or white liner to mimic stars – and voila you are ready to rule Planet Earth.

Cruella De Vil is a Halloween classic look and is almost perfect when you have no time to kill.  To achieve Cruella’s flawless porcelain clean look, first, indulge your face in a brightening face mask. Now that you have a blank canvas, create a smokey eye complemented with a sharp cat eye and a bold red lip to tie in the full look. For accessories, you can use your makeup brush as a cigar and black mole on your upper lip – and Cruella is ready for Halloween.

A True Work of Pop Art

A Halloween staple, this look is sure to please all the comic lovers. After prepping and priming the skin, apply a generous dose of long lasting foundation (preferably a shade lighter to your skin) to set the base. Add in pops of colour to your face with the brightest eyeshadows and blend well. To finish the look, take a sharp liquid liner and begin to create fine thin strokes along the natural contours of your face and neck for that 3D cartoonish look.

Don the Clown Cloak

If Halloween is all about screams and scares, this not-so-funny clown fits the bill. An easy to do Halloween look, this one will bring out the Picasso in you. To achieve this scary clown look, firstly clean and moisturize your skin. Use a dark kohl pencil to create the triangles over and under your eyes, create exaggerated lips and fill them in neatly. Highlight the dark patches with bright coloured shadows, matte lip and set all the art in place with a good setting spray.

With masks still around the corner, why not make them part of your Halloween look this year. The lovely butterfly trend is here to stay and makes for the perfect Halloween look. For this sweet style, start with a peachy pink eye look and flush your cheek with the same colour family. Now trace a pair of wings along with the outer corner of your eyes and make sure to match on both eyes. Wear a floral mask and there you have it - a pretty butterfly sitting in her garden.
