Try it: 2017 best beauty looks for Halloween
MANILA, Philippines — To paraphrase the wise Cady Heron of Mean Girls (2004), Halloween is the one night a year when a girl can go full-on makeup geek and no other girls can say anything about it. The time is now for those skills that have yet to see light beyond your dresser ring light. A spot-on beauty look can make a last-minute costume or break even a tailor-made one despite weeks of prep. Something pigment-packed and in the right finish is non-negotiable, even for non-creepy looks like these. And since Halloween is just one day in a year, we’ve rounded up looks that will still serve you well as inspo for every day as a “ber” month refresh in your makeup repertoire for the holiday parties to come.

I would see an incandescent wash of red, too, if attendees couldn’t be bothered to pay homage to why they were all there in the first place: the annual Costume Institute exhibition showcasing Commes des Garcons.
Try: Apply the fuchsia shade of the Smashbox Cover Shot eyeshadow palette in Ablaze and a plum red lip like Always On matte liquid lipstick in Miss Conduct.

A superhero movie with actual cultural weight is quite an Amazonian feat. Spare me the lasso of truth; I’ll tell you that the most-Googled costume in the US this Halloween requires not only a made-to-order bodysuit and voluptuous hair but some mad matte contour all over in neutrals.
Try: Smashbox Cover Shot eyeshadow palette in Matte and budge-proof swipes of a rosy nude like Always On matte liquid lipstick in Babe Alert. Don’t forget to contour your decolletage, too.
