The 10 Makeup Essentials for Halloween (+ Beyond!)
Oct 25, 2014
Halloween is around the corner, and whether you are still undecided on what you are going to be this year (psst: just pull from your closet) or you have a more elaborate costume in mind, we all know that the makeup makes the look. So to help you get a seriously spooky makeover, here is a list of of the top 10 makeup products you can use to create literally hundreds of Halloween-worthy looks. From the stuff beauty pros like me can’t live without (even after the 31st) to bold palettes you’ll pull out every time you play dress up, these products have been *my* go-tos for all of our Halloween makeup tutorials here at Brit HQ. So trust us — these party-proof picks are worth every penny!
Pop Sugar Pallette
mermaid makeup tutorial that features my favorites from this palette: the dusty purples.
Urban Decay Naked Palette
modern vampire tutorial, and for special effects when laid over a bolder creme makeup, like those Ben Nye pods.
Urban Decay Electric Palette
creepy clown look. Pro tip: You can totally use the pink, orange and purple shades as blush, too!
Billion Dollar Brow Pencil
entire post featuring this magical product! I still don’t understand how it legitimately works on every girl. That being said, it is obviously a go-to for any and every Halloween look, whether you use it to define your brows over a colorful face paint like in this wicked witch tutorial or if you use it as a base and layer a bright shadow over it.
NYX Mechanical Eye Pencil White
kinda creepy/kinda pretty doll look) or even sketch out a shape as a stencil on your face that you need to fill in with a darker color after. This particular brand is inexpensive and totally rocks!
