Halloween Make-Up Heaven

With Halloween just around the corner, we’re all thinking dark thoughts for the weekend. It can be hard to get the balance between scary and glam so here’s a few tips to make sure you’re A-class all the way!

-If you’re in Dublin come along and let us fright you up for our Halloween Open Day Halloween Open Day on Saturday! Places are going fast so give us a call!
-For DIY jobs, make sure you start with super-clean skin! Use a mask early on Saturday or Friday evening to cleanse everything. Remember it’s all about the base.
-Slather on tons of moisturiser and creams before you start; especially if you’re going for a Zombie or other makeup-heavy look.
-Have your cleaners ready for action when you get home. The dreaded wipes might do the job on a regular Saturday (just about!) but they won’t work on a Halloween look.
-Build a clear picture in your head of how you want to look – clean lines and imagination are key!
-Key products would be a white face cream like this Beetlejuice cream and lots of black liner; no need to worry about smudging this time round!

Accessories!

Don’t forget the details! No self-respecting Goth would head out for the night with coral nail polish so try this Baby Goth Girl from MAC with swirls of purple to soften the Emo look. Or for some full-on festival nails get some inspiration from this falsies specialist Galway Nails

Fake Blood adds a Halloween touch to even the tamest of costumes. You just have time to order some from The Costume Shop in Laois.

And of course you need a costume! Think about the kind of party you’re heading too – you might not want to be the Sexy Vampire at your work-do but when out with your girls the sky’s the limit! If you’re on a budget pop down to Tesco or Penny’s for a witchy look. Or rent from your local costume store which saves on time but isn’t half as much fun!

So think Catwalk and Glam and you’re sure to be a hit! And please remember to cleanse afterwards or you’ll definitely look scarier in the morning …

If all this sounds like too much work, then just follow the link and pop into see us!
