Just because Halloween is a scary mess doesn’t mean your beauty routine has to be. We took the liberty of keeping your face clean and radiant through the spookiest week of the year, and added a little ambiance (hello, cocktails!) into the mix.
1. Molton Brown candle in Firefly Embers. What’s this got to do with beauty? Well, let’s be real: your Halloween makeup routine will take at least 45 minutes if it’s done properly, and in that time, you’ll need to get yourself in the mood to be all festive and such. This candle smells like some exotic combination of a forest fire, a ghost, and your dad’s cologne (but in the best possible way). Trust us- you’ll be feeling Halloween in your nostrils if you light this.
2. Elizabeth Grant’s Dare to Bare. This exfoliant is formulated just for those wicked little bumps on the backs of our precious lady arms that never seem to go away. They’re not sexy even in our skankiest Halloween costumes, so we just have to attack them till they’re gone, I say.
3. Goody Colorful Head Wraps. They’re narrow, no-slip, and just easy to use. Try them to hold your tresses back while you paint your face or to secure some fake hair for a wilder look.
4. Get the Party Started (with Espolon Tequila). You’re putting your makeup on for a reason… you’re going out. Right? If that’s the case, you’re going to need some tequila (in either cocktail or hardcore form). As a friend I’m going to suggest that you hold off till you’re almost done with your beautification process, because there’s nothing cute about drunken makeup applications.
5. First Aid Beauty Cleanser. It’s a simple cleanser, but is free of all the dramatic gunk you don’t want hanging around your body’s biggest organ like synthetics, parabens, dyes, and disgusting chemicals. You’ll likely need a big bottle of this stuff to get off all that gross mummy makeup or trashy black eyeshadow.
6. Streekers, because you’re not foolish enough to actually dye your hair pink. These little bottles will transform your tresses to punky, wild, and downright crazy. And I mean crazy, because hot pink is not a shade that nature provides. #funforanight
