Look 1: Betty Boop – Doll-Faced and Dramatic

 

Big lashes, rosy cheeks and a classic red pout. This look is all about exaggerated, cartoon-doll glamour. Keep the skin fresh, go graphic on the eyes, and finish with wispy, tousled short hair (or a short black wig).

How to get the look

  1. Start with PÜR 4-in-1 Love Your Selfie Longwear Foundation & Concealer for an even base that lets the blush take centre stage.
  2. Tap Sweed Air Blush Cream onto the apples of your cheeks and blend outwards. Build it up more than you normally would, because the flush is the signature.
  3. Smudge Sweed Satin Kohl Eyeliner along the lower lash line, then use Stila Stay All Day® Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner in Intense Black to draw fine, doll-style lashes beneath the eye.
  4. Add Sweed All Black Lashes for extra drama.
  5. Finish with Stila Stay All Day® Liquid Lipstick in Beso, a bold, classic red that stays put through the party.

 

Look 2: Spooky Bride – Dark Romance, Wrapped in Lace

Part haunted bride, part gothic dream. The trick is contrast: a glowing, glass-like base against smoky, shadowy eyes, with torn lace or gauze draped across the face. It looks dramatic in photos, and the makeup is easier than it seems.

How to get the look

  1. Prep with Sweed Glass Skin Foundation for a luminous base that makes the eyes pop.
  2. Define your brows with Stila Stay All Day® Waterproof Brow Color. Strong brows frame the eyes under the lace.
  3. Smoke out the eyes with the Stila Sunrise Eyes™ Liqua-Play™ Eye Shadow Collection. Use your deepest shade, build it up at the outer corners, and blend quickly.
  4. Add depth along the lash line with the Stila Stroke of Genius Eye Duo.
  5. Finish with two coats of Stila HUGE™ Extreme Lash Mascara.
  6. Drape lace, gauze or a bridal veil across your face, leaving the eyes and a bold lip peeking through.

 

Look 3: Glam Vampire – Pale, Smoky and Dangerously Chic

Forget the fake blood, because this vampire is all about glam. Think porcelain skin, berry-red smoky eyes, a feverish flush and a muted lip. Fangs are optional but encouraged.

How to get the look

  1. Start with a light, even base, a shade or two paler than your usual.
  2. Sweep Stila Liqua-Play™ Eye Shadow in Mauvelous Matte across the lid, up to the brow bone and under the lower lashes for a sleepless, hungry look.
  3. Add a sharp wing with Stila Stay All Day® Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner so the red doesn’t look washed out.
  4. Layer on Stila HUGE™ Extreme Lash Mascara.
  5. Use the blush side of the Stila Blush & Bronze Hydro-Blur Cheek Duo for the flush, and a touch of bronze under the cheekbones for definition.
  6. Keep lips soft and muted with Sweed Le Lipstick so the eyes stay the star.
