Halloween Beauty Bits - Tried & Tested! What better way to start the Halloween week, than by reviewing a heap of Halloween-perfect beauty bits?
I recommend all of the products featured in the post, and hopefully you see something that'll catch your spooky eye.. Lush The Enchanter Bath Ballistic (€3.95): This gorgeous bath ballistic transforms your bath water into bright pink and orange swirls, and fills your bathroom up the oh-so famous Lush scents! The bath ballistic contains lime oil, neroli oil and frankincense - all beneficial to the skin, and are also known to brighten your mood.
The scent actually lingers on your skin for a while after your bath, whilst leaving the skin feeling really hydrated and moisturised. Head into your nearest Lush asap, and pick one of these guys up for a Halloween pamper sesh - it's gorgeous! Lush Twilight Shower Gel (€5.50): When I heard one of my favourite bath ballistics was going to be made into a shower gel for Halloween, I squealed with delight! Face to Face. The 1980s were an adventurous time for eye makeup.
Take two of our favorite pop-punk princesses of the era, Siouxsie Sioux (of Siouxsie and the Banshees) and Bow Wow Wow’s Annabella Lwin. They both got super creative with liners and shadows in wild colors and shapes, and it just made them look powerful and awesome. You can copy their looks pretty easily, too. Let’s go. 1. Products I used: I used separate brushes for: • blush • foundation • gel liner • blending (two of these would be nice) • shadow (a flat brush) • brows 2. I copied Annabella’s makeup from the video for “Do You Wanna Hold Me” when I did Paula’s makeup for the prom shoot we posted last week: • Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Loose Colour Concetrate in Platonic (For Paula, I used this instead, in IV-04—it suited her golden skin tone more because of the gold flecks.
Yes, I used three liners for this look! Step One Make your outline! Step Three Run your liquid liner over the edges so they look extra sharp. Mod Eye Makeup in Like Five Minutes. I’ve always been most inspired by the 1960s, especially when it comes to makeup.
Cosmetics in the ’60s were all about enhancing your favorite features and making a bold statement, and icons like Twiggy, Penelope Tree, Peggy Moffitt, and Edie Sedgwick came up with looks that were all about more, more, more. For this month’s Transformation theme, I wanted to give you guys some ideas for transforming your eyes. A mod eye-shadow situation is guaranteed to make your peepers stand out and get people asking how much time it took to get them that way (you can lie and say it took an hour, but it actually takes only a few minutes). What you’ll need: A matte white eye shadow, like Wet ’n’ Wild’s Color Icon Eyeshadow Single in Sugar ($2, drugstores).
