Feeling like going with the trendiest horror of the year? You got IT!
Halloween Style: Scary-Fun.
Key Products: Eye to Mesmerise Cream Eyeshadow by Charlotte Tilbury in Marie Antoinette and Jean; Burberry Liquid Lip Velvet in Oxblood; Retro Matte Liquid Lipstick in Dance with Me by Mac Cosmetics; Lipglass by Mac Cosmetics.
How: To achieve the perfect mix between Georgie (the poor young boy killed by Pennywise and symbol of the movie and book) and the evil Clown IT, we opted for heavy contouring, which reminds to the sculptured features of a boy, no mascara, ton of golden and brown cream eyeshadow up until the brow and very low on the lower lash line.
The protagonists are, no doubt about it, the lips. They are the elements that link the costume and the rest of the makeup to Pennywise: two tones, and super shiny. In the center we applied the brown shades by Burberry and, on the outer part of the lips, we applied a cherry shades, to create the perfect ombré lips.
On top, tons and tons of Lipglass to create the best shining effect.

Feeling like rocking the fear brought by a videotape and a phone call? We’ll definitely give you a ring…or better said The RING!
Halloween Style: Sensual and Dark
Key Products: Make Up for Ever Ultra HD Stick Foundation; Naked Heat Palette by Urban Decay; Mermaid Tail in 01 by Wycon; Rouge Allure Lipstick in Indépendante; Magnificent Metals Glitter & Glow Liquid Eye Shadow by Stila in Rose Gold Retro.
How: Let’s play with hot and warm colors. But first: a flawless and perfectly even base with a foundation that has to be high coverage but not too opaque, we don’t have to leave Samara without the shine effect. Exactly the shiny and “wet” effect has been obtained using an opalescent highlighter all over Samara’s face, with Wycon’s Mermaid Tail in 01.
The lips must be the same color of the skin, in a totally super-nude-Samara-style.
Let’s play with the eyes: an exaggerated and super red toned smoky eyes using the most reddish palette of all, the Naked Heat by Urban Decay. We used a mix of all the red shades and then on top we applied the copper shade “Dirty” with the fingers. To add a point of light in the inner corner, we used the Magnificent Metals Glitter by Stila.
The last touch? A very thin layer of red lipstick, only in the center of the lid.

Halloween Style: Sexy and Smug
Key Products: Aqua Cream Waterproof Cream Color in Gold by Make Up For Ever; Liperfidious Lipstick in 02 by Wycon; Malefigloss in 02 by Wycon.
How: To achieve the perfect sexy-but-unsettling makeup, we played with the contrast between gold and purple. On a natural, yet flawless, base the eyes had to stand out: we used a cream waterproof golden eyeshadow on the entire lid and it was applied roughly and plentifully, almost on all the lid and a bit on the brows, as if it was tapped in with a sponge. It creates a clumpy and cracked effect.
The base for the lips is a rich matte violet (02 of the Liperfidious Lipstick) mixed with the holographic lip gloss with violet, black and dark green reflections, to give a glossy touch.
Part of the product was smeared through the right part of the model’s cheek, for a “drooling” effect.

Halloween Style: Twiggy Style
Key Products: MAC Pro Long-wear Fluidline in Blacktrack; Aqua Black Waterproof Cream Eye Shadow in Black by Make Up Forever; Glitter in 3D Black by MAC;
How: The base is even, simple yet flawless, but with a generous amount of blush (in a warm, terra nuance) powdered on the cheeks.
The eyes are ‘60s inspired, graphic and flashy: to a generous amount of mascara were added lower lashes drawn with the eyeliner and false upper ones that recreate a deep gaze. The eyeliner is used in “Twiggy Style”: it draws a thick, black arch above the creed that is, otherwise, left nude.
As for the lips, the deep black and glittery effect are achieved with a creamy eyeshadow used as a lipstick, with 3D black glitter tapped on the sticky surface.
The eyebrows are bold and defined.

Halloween Style: Edgy and Bold
Key Products: Aqua Cream Eye Shadow in Intense Blue by Make Up For Ever; Secret Amulet in 02 by Wycon; Lipglass by Mac;
How: The key point of this look as its waterproofness.
The hair is wet, while the cheeks look flustered thanks to a soft red creamy blush. The eyes are dramatic, with a defined and even blue color applied to the entire lid and brow bone.
A rich pigmentation was achieved by using the blue Secret Amulet eyeliner all over the lid and then covered again, in order to give it a further boost of color, with the Aqua Cream eyeshadow.
The lips are drawn with a white waterproof pencil on the outer lines, living the center nude. MAC’s Lipglass applied all over the lips gives the final, holographic effect.
