Halloween Dream: Your Guide to Frightfully Fantastic Makeup for the Season

LUCY Lovers, it’s our favourite time of the year again: time to dress up ghoulish, glam, and glittery, and take to the night in your Halloween best - but before you pop on your wig and pick out your theme, you need to know your makeup’s going to wow, and we’re here to help you pick products that will work for your idea. 


For fake blood

Inspiration from Pinterest

Our Kryolan range is full of wicked, whimsical products to play around with, and nothing says ‘spooky’ like layering on the blood. Opt for Kryolan’s artificial blood paste to daub onto your fake wounds and vampire teeth for a frightfully phenomenal look, or go for a smudge-proof version using F/X Blood. Best part: they can both be easily washed out of any fabrics, which means that even if you do get a little bit on your clothes, you can just toss them in the washing machine and they’ll be good as new for next year!

For wounds and scars

Inspiration from Pinterest

Going full gore-geous this year? Kryolan has a fantastic liquid latex that you can use to create the most realistic looking scars around - but not just that! Want a bigger chin or a longer nose? Want to go fully bald for this festival season? Kryolan’s liquid latex is perfect for this, and can really add a layer of authenticity to any addition you want to make to your appearance. 


If you’re only interested in wounds, wounds, wounds, Kryolan’s Fresh Scratch paste will suit you better: it dries down, but it retains its shine, which means any wound you make will look freshly created, and when you pair it with some fake blood, it will look just-like-real.

For some added sparkle

Inspiration from Pinterest

You might be the scariest belle of the ball, but just because it’s Halloween doesn’t mean that you should dull your sparkle - so throw on one of our LUCY-own face gems to spice up your spooky, and get ready to glitter all the way through your Halloween party. 


For electrifying eye (and face!) looks

Inspiration from Pinterest

Our favourite products are multiuse, and this one is a Halloween secret from us to you: the BH Cosmetics Avocado Toast palette can not only create a gloomy-glitzy eye look, but its shades of greens and yellows are perfect for painting some realistic bruises and scrapes onto your face. Want a couple more colours? BH Cosmetic’s Ultimate Mattes 42 Colour Eyeshadow palette will give you some contour and nude shades to soften out your edges, and we’re a particular fan of that beautiful bottom blue shade for some excellent deathly pallor. 


There you have it LUCY Lovers: your Halloween makeup look all sorted, and with products that won’t break the bank. Curious about any of them? Head on down to your closest LUCY for a practical demonstration!

And with fashion shows rolling out across the world - did you catch Pat McGrath at Maison Margiela? - there’s a lot of inspo to go around.

The weather’s getting warmer, the days are getting longer, and you know what that means: day trips, brunch dates, and all things outside - and there’s nothing worse than planning a day out and realising midway through that all your pictures from that time have faded lipstick (or worse, smudged lipstick!)
