More Halloween glam ideas
In my column in today’s Life section, I wrote about going glam on Halloween with ideas on how to look like Barbie, Marilyn Monroe or Joan of Arc. Here are more suggestions from celebrity makeup artist Brett Freedman, who has touched the faces of Reba McEntire and Jessica Biel.
TWIGGY and her pop-art eyes
Take a near-white silver shimmer eye shadow and apply boldly to lid and brow bone. Use a liquid liner on top and bottom, extending on the outer corners horizontally (toward the mid ear, not the temple). Apply false lashes to top and bottom lash lines. Steer clear of blush and go for a very pale, fleshy lipstick or gloss.
Costume: Pair with a short cropped coif, mini printed shift dress and white boots made for walkin’.
JOAN JETT and her smoky eyes
It’s all about the eyes. Too much is never enough. There will be little other make up so it’s best to get your pow from really working your black eyeliner. Apply base as usual. Use a very neutral lip – clear gloss is best. Blush should be a fleshy, barely there pink. Using a soft black eyeliner, fill in your lid and under eye in quick strokes.
Don’t worry about getting it smooth and perfect because (in true rocker style) you’re gonna smudge and blend with your finger. Curl your lashes and apply multiple layers of blue-black mascara (try L’Oreal Voluminous). Once mascara dries, take a small dab of clear lip gloss and rub into lid and lash line. This will give the liner a wet, naughty look. Rock on!
Costume: Pair with a cropped motorcycle jacket, white tank, skinny jeans and boots … and an air guitar if you’re feeling festive.
