These On-Trend Beauty Scores From Nordstrom Will Get You Halloween-Ready in Minutes
Usually, the costume comes before the makeup. But if you're a beauty lover, the makeup often leads the way to the costume. And this year, there are plenty of drool-worthy beauty trends that happen to play right into Halloween, including sunset lids, graphic eyes, holographic everything, and more. If you're excited to show off your beauty chops and let a kickass makeup look inform your upcoming costume, turn to the following trends and accompanying products.
1 Sunset Eyes
Pigmented lids in warm tones of burgundy, brick, and copper are everywhere in a trend that we've dubbed sunset eyes. Get the look with this palette ($38), which features both matte and shimmery finishes to help you create a combination of delightfully devilish looks.
For a more one-dimensional effect, this artist pencil ($25) delivers intense red color payoff — perfect for a vampire costume. You can use it as an eyeliner, eye shadow, or brow pencil.
2 Glitter
Add dimension to your lids with this dazzling liquid eye shadow ($24), which comes in a slew of eye-catching metallic shades. With its liquid texture, you can build maximum sheen with minimum fallout. This iridescent purple is such a pretty shade for a mermaid costume.
This lip topper ($16) comes in a variety of shimmery shades to add that finishing pop to your look. The silver shade is the ideal match for an angel costume.
Go ultraglam with this glitter eyeliner ($20), which comes with a thin applicator for precise layering. The gold color is perfect for a dramatic Cleopatra look.
3 Graphic Eyes
From colorful liner and mascara to negative space looks, graphic eyes were practically made for Halloween. This liquid eyeliner ($31) is available in a rainbow of pigmented hues and will help define your eyes with a bold color pop. The yellow in particular would help create a bumblebee look.
Colorful mascara is such a fun and unexpected way to add dimension to your beauty look. This mascara ($29) comes in unique shades and doesn't skimp on length, volume, or curl. You can use the emerald shade for a variety of costumes: a mermaid, Poison Ivy, the Wicked Witch of the West — the list goes on!
4 Holographic Finish
Bring all the magical vibes with holographic everything. This lipstick ($22) changes color with your body temperature and is the ideal finishing touch to enhance a mythical creature costume.
Opt for this pop-on manicure set ($16) if your look requires dramatic length. Even though it already comes with a cool holographic finish, the best thing about these is that you can remove, reapply, repaint, and even reshape them to fit your needs.
Want to enhance a futuristic or galactic costume? This highlighter palette ($38) will help bathe you in an celestial glow.
