All Hallow’s Eve is near and our #illamafia are in the spooky spirit. We are loving seeing all the tagged images and how you use Illamasqua to create the looks. Are you still stuck for inspiration? Halloween is a great opportunity to step out of the box into a look that will transform you. We have picked a few of our amazing tagged images to give you some inspiration.
Get creative and mix things up by stepping away from the norm. Nothing is right or wrong and that’s why we love Halloween. The opportunities are endless, and we have the tools for you to create the looks.
First up, is the amazing @beatsoup who used our brand new Electro Tartan Collection to get into the Halloween spirit. ‘Inspired by the bold pops of colour in the palette to do something fun and playful, but with a Halloween twist’. Go bold and cause a fright with our Electrify Palette and Glowstick Antimatter Lipstick to create a creative Skeleton effect. This look can vary in style and it is one you can definitely experiment with. Go for the full traditional black and white bones, or throw some jewel’s and colour into the mix. Anything goes and the same with the clothing choice to back up the makeup.

Show your dark side like @katesbeautystation who has created an original Joker look. The King of the entertainment of the Halloween world. Our Pristine Lipstick is the perfect spook-tacular shade for many Halloween looks this year. Black is the ‘go to’ shade to create many gory looks. This Lipstick is one we would add to your Halloween makeup kit without a second thought. Halloween provides a very thin line between the spirit and the living worlds; The colour black can be very symbolic of this, no matter if you are going spooky or glam.

If dark and spookish isn’t for you we have this bright ‘hauntingly beautiful’ Sea Siren created by @Illumin_arty. Using a mixture of Illamasqua products including our new Electrify Artistry Palette and Techno Antimatter Lipstick, it is one for the bold and creative. The mesmerising colours with a touch of Halloween finishing off with the contact lenses creates the eerie feel. This is one where the makeup technique does all the talking. The time taken to create this will pay off when you are announced Hallo-queen of the party.
Top tip: To create the scaled look, apply fish net tights to your face and dab makeup over the tights. Gently peel off the tights to reveal the pattern.
