A radiant halloween makeup look – The Angel in Disguise. Embellish your sparkly look with angular jewelled stick ons around the forehead and under the eyes – the white lined eyes coated with lengthy false lashes add so much more. Add a glittery lip to it, and there you are, the halloween poser!
2. Wing it, Vampire!

Halloween without a vampire look, does it even count? Work with intricate falsies, precise winged eyeliner, and red lenses to make yourself shine like you are a creature of the night, just with added glamour. An ombre black red lip and your vampire fangs and you’re ready to go out and play. And maybe eat some garlic as well.
3. Hail Bloody Mary

For the Bloody Mary look, start with a neutral eyeshadow and make your way down to the lower lash-line, creating a graphic bloody teary eye. An outlined red lip will do wonders for the entire look. To finish this halloween makeup look, hold a candle that was used by our friend, Bloody Mary.
4. The Devil’s Tale

The devils cut crease, indeed. Making a devil’s tale in cut crease style, this is a modern approach to the graphic eyeliner. Emphasise the eyes with gemstones placed in the inner corners, and don’t forget your false eyelashes. Top with an elegant red-highlighted rosy cheek and a bright red lip. A perfect devil you will be!
5. Boo Wee! Casper Eyes
