Halloween is upon us, which is why we have come up with three top ideas to stay spooky yet stylish this halloween…

With Halloween almost upon us, the party-goers amongst you will be planning your costumes. Whether you’re going to a party, a club night, or a more intimate gathering, you’ll want to be winning the prize for the best outfit. Our Halloween outfits all depend on our personalities- there will be some of you out there who want to properly scare your neighbours! Others prefer something novelty and funny (all those banana or bacon costumes trending right now)! Then there are those of you who want to keep it stylish. If you’re looking for some inspiration on makeup and looks, one of these might be right up your street. 

This one’s a perfect subtle Halloween look (ideal for those who don’t like too much face paint). All you’ll need is a bit of black lipstick, a black lace dress (and a few of those fake cobwebs to cover yourself with)! Black lace is one of those effortlessly timeless looks that never fails to deliver. To do Halloween as elegantly as possible- black lace should really be your go-to. If you want to turn the scare- factor up a little on this look, why not add some Halloween lenses from FunkyLenses.com? They’ve got lenses in all manner of colours and types; from ghoul to witch or demon eyes- you’ll complete your look in no time. 

Some nice ethereal green lenses for that scary Red Riding Hood look? The colour red is perfect for any eye-catching Halloween outfit. You’ll need to get yourself some black, white, and red face paint. Face or body paint will work just great and some eyeliner for the finer details of the fake wounds on the face. For those who don’t mind using a bit of liquid latex on their skin, check out this YouTube video on Halloween makeup. Team this makeup with a cute red dress, and you’re good to go! 

For a stylish and scary pumpkin look, you’ll want to go all out with the makeup. Use orange and black body/face paint, black eyeliner, black lipstick, and some orange glitter. When you’re purchasing body and face paint, always check the ingredients to ensure that they agree with your skin (especially if you have any allergies)! The last thing you want is to find out that something doesn’t agree with you after you put it on your face. If you’re not too confident to copy this look from the picture, check out this video for a similar style. You’ll need to ensure that you have some fine makeup brushes to hand. This one will work just perfectly with your favourite little black dress.

We all love an excuse to get dressed up in some fun costumes. If you’re on a budget, there are plenty of affordable makeup options out there these days. Second-hand stores are also worth a look for a quirky vintage dress to complete your Halloween style.
