Recently, we got the opportunity to speak to beauty vlogger extraordinaire Michelle Phan about her rise to fame, her favorite beautifiers, and her tips for success. Since we're Halloween obsessed around here, we couldn't resist asking her about this built-for-beauty holiday. Read on for costume ideas, essential products, and more!
What costumes will be trendy this year?
"This year, I'm focusing on crazy, cool costumes you can wear where you don't have to dress provocatively to get attention, or cool ways a girl can go into a club wearing something that makes everyone want to take a picture with her. A lot of it is inspired by what's been trending online, like memes and Grumpy Cat. The younger girls are going to be all about Frozen, and the '90s will be very popular too — throwbacks like Ninja Turtles. Anything zombies will be popular, but I think people will want a funnier zombie rather than a scary one, more like parody zombies. I just finished an Audrey Hepburn zombie look."
What's a good last-minute Halloween costume?
"An easy one even kids can do is the sweater ninja trick. You take a black sweater, put your face in the neckhole, tie the sleeves, and then you just wear all black."
Are there any Halloween looks that you keep going back to?
"I like to go back to Día de los Muertos because you can create that in so many different ways. I redid that look based off a girl who makes these awesome sugar skulls — it's called The Beautiful Death. I'm also doing a skeleton look with my boyfriend."
What product is essential for an amazing Halloween costume?
"Clear liquid latex. You can use it as adhesive to glue on wounds. You can use it to create zombie-flesh torn skin. You can also use it to create wrinkles. If you brush clear liquid latex onto your skin and scrunch your face as it's drying, it will re-create it, but it doesn't actually keep your face in that position. It's not like anti-Botox!"
