Halloween Makeup Tutorial: The Red Devil
In everyday life, we’re told to keep our fire in check. Someone got your back up? Take a deep breath, count to ten and use every ounce of strength to clearly and calmly explain why you are currently fighting the fury of a thousand honey badgers (gritted teeth permitted).
Is it any wonder we’re close to boiling point?
Luckily, Halloween is almost here – the one day of the year when we’re actively encouraged to free our less-than-saintly side. After all, what’s the point of dressing up if we don’t slip into character too (wink, wink)?
Of course, no red-hot character is complete without makeup to match. With its wicked range of eyeshadows, lipsticks, nail varnishes and more, Makeup Obsession is fully equipped to help us unleash the devil within. You’ll find it at Boots, and be sure to expect high-street prices as cheeky as the theme.
Scroll down as we guide you through all the techniques and tricks you’ll need to heat up your makeup look as you channel The Red Devil this Halloween.
You can shop the entire look at Boots – here are all the Makeup Obsession products (plus a few others) you’ll need:
Eyes
Starting with the Creep It Real Palette, £6.00, apply the shade The Creeps all over the eye and underneath the eyelid into a cat-eye shape.
Then, using the If You’ve Got It, Haunt It Palette, £6.00, take the dark shade to line the top lashline starting from halfway across and wing it out. Use the same shade underneath the eye and drag it out to create a dramatic eye.
For even more drama, add Eylure Dramatic Lashes 201, £7.75 to the top lashes.
Lips
Start by filling in the lips with the red shade from the If You’ve Got It, Haunt It Palette, £6.00 (which we used for the eyes) and blend the colour slightly over your natural lipline for a smudged effect.
Then add Kiss of Death Liquid Lipstick in Vampire, £4.00 to the centre of your lips and blend it out with your finger.
Take another Kiss of Death Liquid Lipstick, £4.00 – this time in Zombie – and apply this to the middle inner part of your lips for added depth.
To complete the look use Love Bite Fake Blood, £6.00 on top of the lips and use a brush to create drops coming out the side of your mouth.
