By Kimberly Nissen, The Beauty BanditEvery other day of the year we work on beautifying ourselves, but come October 31 we all prepare our frightful faces. With less than a week to go, we have collated the essential beauty items you will need in your hands this Monday.
Lashes
Faux lashes are a must for amplifying your eyes. No matter the look you are doing, there are lots of lashes out there to make it even scarier. Go for something over-the-top or ones you would normally never think to pick up.
Rescu. Recommends: M.A.C Cosmetics Lashes in #34 and #44
RRP $18 per set from M.A.C Cosmetics. Phone 1800 613 828 for stockists.
Nails
Don’t forget that your talons can be an extension to your scary costume. This year there are so many new ways thanks to the nail art craze. Even if you aren’t dressing up for Halloween this year but want to get into the festive spirit, pick up a pack of nail decals with a Halloween theme.

RRP $14.95 by Sally Hansen. Phone 1800 812 663 for stockists.
Hair Colour
Nothing spells fun like a change of hair colour. If you are going for a fun or funky look this Halloween you can’t avoid a dash of colour to your crown. An instant fix of colour that washes out is the perfect choice.

RRP $24.95 by Kevin.Murphy from Adore Beauty online
3 STEPS TO A SEDUCTIVELY VAMPY LIP
With Twilight and The Vampire Diaries ruling screens all over the globe, there will surely be a few vampires on the streets come Monday night. Make your fangs stand out above the rest with a devilishly delightful lip. Mikele Simone, Illamasqua Make Up Artist, tells us how to pull it off.
Step 1: Outline your lip using a black pencil making the cupids bow really sharp and defined.
Step 2: Fill the lip with a dark red lipstick using a lip brush, drenching the lip with pigment.
Step 3: Apply lip gloss on the centre of the lip using the lip brush to make them look glossed and full.
