Obviously the costume itself has a lot to do with how well you can pull off a look or character come this weekend when you'll be making an appearance at a few spooky soirees. But what really gives a costume the extra 'oomph' and makes it truly memorable is the make-up that goes with it.
Halloween make-up is all about going over-the-top and making your look eye-catching and unforgettable! Use dark powders to help contour your face and Halloween is an occasion where the more lustrous and glitzy the fake lashes, the better. Liquid or gel liners help eye make-up stay put all night, and a creamy red lipstick is a true Halloween classic.
Plus, the great thing about make-up and cosmetics, is that you can tone it down and reuse them again for a day-to-day look or a girls night out and many might already be in your make-up bag!
