Essence Magazine:
Halloween isn’t just about the costume, but the makeup as well, and this month makeup artists are diving full-fledged into the spooky season with the most chilling faces. Instead of heading to the costume shop for something basic, grab your palettes to create a scary look that’s unique.
No matter your skill level, there’s an infinite amount of looks to recreate with cosmetics you already have. Grab your Morphe, Juvia’s Place, or NYX Ultimate to design extravagant butterfly wings or a mysterious skeleton bride. If you’re wanting to go a bit more extreme, the chromatic alien or punk vampire may be easy looks but will take loads of blending. This Halloween, get creative with your look that’s not a bunch of hocus pocus.
We’ve rounded up our favorite scary faces on Instagram so far, each paired with a tutorial and product list to create an exact replica to be a hot ghoul this year.
