If just reading the word "pizza" [1] is making you hungry right now, you might want to consider being a deep dish with extra pepperoni this Halloween [2], sauce and all. As cheesy as it may sound, pizza can make a straight-up terrifying Halloween costume [3] if it's done right, and Vanessa Davis, aka @the_wigs_and_makeup_manager [4] on Instagram, already has me seeing nightmares of sentient pizza slices with her trippy food-inspired makeup tutorial — I consider that a job well baked done.
Davis begins by applying gel pads under her eyes [5] and gluing her eyebrows down. Then the real magic begins. With the help of some cardboard (to create the perfect crust), paintbrushes, glue, and a lot of modeling clay, she transforms herself into an ooey-gooey, undead pizza slice that has me questioning whether I should run or reach for some parmesan.
To create the look, Davis uses a range of beauty products, including Huda Beauty's Easy Bake Powder in Sugar Cookie [6] ($34), Make Up For Ever's Color Airbrush [7] ($36) (in yellow, white, dark red, and black), Urban Decay's All-Nighter Setting Spray [8] ($33), Sugarpill's Pressed Eyeshadows [9] ($13) (in Buttercupcake, Flamepoint, Text Me, Tako, and Bulletproof), Makeup Brushes from Morphe Brushes [10], and Hakuhodo's Fine Liner Makeup Brush [11] ($13). That's one beat slice of pizza.
Take a closer look at Davis's cheese-tastic makeup and a few other pizza-inspired Halloween looks ahead, including pizza lips and heart-shaped pizza eye shadow.
