Choose your Halloween look

HYDERABAD: Today is Halloween and it’s time to step up your costume game. From spooky cat to awry owl, this is one day your style has got to stand out. If you have been procrastinating about your look until the last minute before Halloween, don’t fear! Sushma Khan, National Creative Director - Makeup, Lakmé Salon and TIGI Educator, Audrey D’Souza have got your back as they decode iconic Halloween looks.
Create a super smooth and clear base by applying foundation using a strobing technique. Go undercover with a concealer pen, covering dark circles and treating blemishes.

Throw some shades and don’t be color shy. Work with soft eyeliner pencils as a base, which help color stay put on your lids and prevent creasing. Using a pale blue pencil, apply it to the back of your hand. Transfer color from your hand, with a fluffy, dome-shaped brush, to the inner corner of your eye toward the middle of your lid. Next, apply a turquoise eye pencil (using the same technique) from the outer corner to the middle of the lid. Blend to diffuse the line where the colors meet. To set the lid, go over each color with the same shade in powder form with a fluffy brush. Dot an iridescent shadow along the inner corner using a flat eyeliner brush for that dreamy shine.

Use a pink eyeliner for the bottom line. Use the same brush technique with a cobalt blue pencil applied to the back of your hand and sweep from the inner corner until it meets the pink shade in the middle of your lid. Softly blend the two shades with a brush. Define the eyes with a swipe of black mascara on top lashes and a vivid blue mascara on bottom lashes.

Opt for a candy pink pout. Finish off the look by using a holographic highlighter mixed with glittery pink shade to highlight your best features such as the cheekbones, forehead and collar bones. Don’t forget to stick on some rhinestone bindis to give off that magical sparkle!

TIGI Educator, Audrey D’Souza
This one is for all the experimenters- you’ll first need to bleach your hair if you haven’t already.
Determine where you want certain colors to be. You’ll want to start at your roots, so the best way to create color variation is to split your hair into multiple sections and pin them out of the way with lobster clips so that you can work one by one.

Try a combination of the TIGI Colour Trip in Pink, Ash Grey, Purple, Blue and Aqua. Pick whichever shades you’d like—this look is totally customizable, so it’s all up to you!
Bring your unicorn look to life. Going section by section, apply your shades according to the directions. Continue this process until you have a few chunks of every color all over your head.
Show your unicorn hair some love. Once you have your new rainbow hue, wash with a color protecting shampoo and conditioner.

Style your strands. Apply a body mousse. Tie your hair into a high ponytail and secure flyways with bobby pins.Shimmer like a diva by applying a generous amount of silver glitter from the roots to the hair-tie length. Finish off with a unicorn hairband. Now go and ride off into the sunset.
