How to Do Your Makeup for Halloween

1.     Using the Max Factor Kohl Kajal Liner, colour in your eyebrows from the middle out to the outer tip and darken your inner eye line and the upper and lower lids. Smudge the line slightly so that there are no sharp edges.

2.     Use the black from the NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Utopia palette to add colour to your upper and lower lids.

3.     Starting from the lower lashes, use your black eye pencil to draw two lines down your cheeks, then smudge them gently with an eyeshadow brush. Draw a line upwards from each eyebrow. In the inner corner, draw a sharp point.

4.     Take the XX by Revolution LUXX palette and use the bitter peach luxx shade to add colour to the dark makeup you’ve just applied.

5.     Intensify your look with a darker shade of orange, then use a brush to draw on the “curves” of the pumpkin that run up and down – from the hollows of the cheeks and above and below the lips.

8.     Achieve a dramatic look with the extravagant NYX Professional Makeup Halloween Jumbo Lash!, spiky fringe false eyelashes. Apply them using the Ardell Duo Quickset adhesive.
