Halloween is almost here and French beauties are putting their make-up skills and creative flair to the test with spooky faces!
To get inspired we’ve put together an edit of our all time favourite celebrity halloween make-up looks. From Victoria’s Secret model Adriana Lima’s zombie bride to an intense glitter smokey eye used for Heidi’s cute cat face, Halloween is the one of the few times when more is more!…
For a Zombie Bride look below is a step by step tutorial from Marie Claire.com
Step 1. Apply white face makeup, like Ben Nye Cream Makeup, all over with a sponge. Avoid applying to the eye area. Pro tip: Be sure to use white makeup that is specifically designed for the face so you don’t break out after hours of wear.
Step 2. Lightly contour in your cheekbones and sides of your forehead using a charcoal grey eyeshadow or cream paint. Don’t worry if it’s not perfect, we’ll go back in later to really bring out those cheekbones. We used a Bobbi Brown’s Smoke eyeshadow to create the sunken eye, but you can also use a dark grey cream paint.
Step 3. With a raspberry/plum-color shadow, like Tarte Cosmetics Soft Sienna, and a tapered blending brush, apply to your eye from the inner corner down, where you are naturally darkest. Be sure to get undereye and lower lash line, too. This creates a sick, tired look.
Step 4. Apply the same shadow to the upper inner crease basically creating a full C shape at the inner corners of the eyes and then dust over the lid.
Step 5. Mix black and brown shadow (we used Urban Decay Blackout and Busted Eyshadow) and apply under lash line, the inner corner into the crease, and in the under eye crease using an eye smudge brush.
Step 6. Take the same black and brown colors and apply to the upper inner corner and into the front of the brow to add depth. Pro tip: Create a triangle shape with the front of your brow being the top corner of the triangle to easily apply the shadow.
Step 7. Now, go back in and fully contour your cheeks and forehead using the same eyeshadow you used in Step 2.
Step 8. Cover lips with more white cream paint using a sponge.
Step 9. Next dab your favorite red lipstick to the inside of your lips avoiding the edges, or if you want a more pretty look apply all the way to the edges.
Step 10. Finally, dab Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Little Black Dress Lip Tar stained gloss onto the center of the lips using a lip brush for added drama and gore.
