Halloween Makeup- Edition 3


Halloween is right around the corner and we are all frantically narrowing down our costume ideas. After you decided what to be, your next obstacle is how to make it beautiful.
Make-up is the best way to take a generic costume to a wow-factor level.

A second popular and quick costume is a devil. For a “devil”, a bright red lip is key.

Like with the cat eye, applying foundation to your lips before lipstick will help the color last longer and keep the red from smearing outside the lip line.

When choosing a red lipstick, look for a “long wear” formula so it will be sure to last through pictures, food, and drinks. Keep eye make-up simple because the focus is your lips.




Line your eyes with a dark brown liner and apply a coffee color eye shadow from the lash line to the crease of your eye. Use a lengthening mascara to make lashes pop.

Red Lips




Q: With Valentine’s Day coming up, I want a sexy evening look. What is the best way to choose a red lipstick?

A: A romantic Valentine’s date is the perfect time to unleash your inner movie-star. When looking for the perfect red lipstick, choosing the right shade is the most important step.

Girls with fair skin or pink undertones should choose a red with a bluish color. The blue tint will keep from washing out the rest of your face and will make your teeth look whiter.

For girls with tan or olive coloring, look for a red lipstick with warm tones like orange. On olive skin, the orange undertones will warm up your complexion.

If you have a deep skin coloring, choose a plum-red lipstick. The purple undertones look classic and sophisticated on your skin.

No matter which color palette you choose, be sure to pick a texture you like. Beautiful red shades come in stains, mattes, glosses, or moisturizing lipstick.

The stains will last the longest, but the glosses will look the sexiest.
