I might be a Halloween expert, but a makeup expert I am not.
I have my fair share of fun playing with crazy eyeliners, bright lipsticks and way too much mascara…but when it comes to serious makeup needs, I turn to my favorite experts like my ghoul Penny Snark from The Sconnie Sling.
I love her style…and secretly envy her eyeliner skills. Today, she’s dropped by for a bit of Halloween fun to share some of her favorite Halloween-inspired makeup must-haves with you ghouls!
Halloween-Inspired Makeup Must-Haves for Glamour Ghouls
By Penny Snark, thesconniesling.com
Makeup of all kinds can be used to create Halloween looks from the creepy to the glamorous, but Halloween lovers can make everyday makeup spooky thanks to gothic beauty brands. Spooky and Halloween-themed cosmetics add a little extra pumpkin spice to your makeup game, and who can resist that? Let me be your beauty ghoul-ru with a few must-have Halloween beauty products that glamor ghouls will love.
Vampira Palette, Lunatick Cosmetics
Vampira is an eternal icon of gothic glamor, making her the perfect star of a themed eye shadow palette. This coffin-shaped palette from Lunatick Cosmetic Labs features images of Vampire on the front and interior (with an adorable coffin-shaped mirror!), and five shades of eye shadow perfect for creating a dark, glamorous look. (If you’re more on the campy side of horror, check out the Elvira palette!)
Liquid Lipsticks, Pretty Zombie Cosmetics
If you’re in the market for “strange and unusual” liquid lipsticks, you’ll find a treasure trove at Pretty Zombie Cosmetics. Their Black Cat black lipstick is a favorite of Instagoths, and a catalog of blues, greens, purples, and more offer a shade for every ghoul. Each tube is emblazoned with a spiderweb for that extra spooky touch.
Space Case Trio, Black Moon Cosmetics
We all know it’s what’s inside that counts…but a really cool outside certainly doesn’t hurt. This special edition trio of metallic eye dusts from Black Moon Cosmetics come packed in a moon-shaped tin. Now that’s something to howl about! Inside the moon, you’ll find three gorgeous eye dusts perfect for adding a foiled, metallic finish to your eye look.
Hocus Pocus Nail Polish, Ms. Sparkle Boutique
You’ll put a spell on everyone with this delightful glitter topper from Ms. Sparkle Boutique. I love how easily you could do a fun, funky Halloween manicure with this multi-glitter polish. The mix of colors definitely reminds me of the Sanderson sisters, and these handmade polishes are 5 free!
Mortician Porcelain Powder, The Parlor Co.
It’s hard to get much more macabre than the morgue. The Parlor Co. sells a full range of Victorian mourning-inspired scents and skincare, including Mortician Porcelain Powder. This translucent setting powder promises to preserve your makeup and provide a (dare I say “lifelike”?) glow.
Batty Wraps, Espionage Cosmetics
Espionage Cosmetics is famous for nerdy nail wraps, but spooky nerds definitely aren’t left out. These clear bat wraps are the perfect way to easily add Halloween glam to any manicure. Bonus: they glow in the dark! (Protip: extend the life of a set of nail wraps last longer by using them as accent nails instead of a full set.)
Dead Man’s Party Bath Bomb, Witch Baby Soap
There are treats for your bath and body year-round at Witch Baby Soap, but don’t miss out on her coffin-shaped bath bombs. These fizzy bombs will dye your bath and leave your skin feeling silky smooth. Soon you’ll be all clean and ready for more witchery!
I hope you add some spooky beauty to your vanity this Halloween season and beyond! What’s your favorite way to add some gothic vibes to your beauty routine?
