These options should help you create a very original look for the 31st of October.

Copy Ariana Grande’s look

Ariana Grande, the American Pop and R&B singer-songwriter-composer, released a video clip where she lays in a purplish and blueish liquid.

Save the world in your own way

L’Halloween is the perfect occasion to whip out your Superwoman costume, especially if you’re an everyday hero! Why not match your costume with red, white and gold makeup? This will complement your costume and the best part is that this look is extremely easy to create!

Relive the 90s

Become a living pop art artwork

If you are skilled with makeup, you can always try to transform yourself into a living pop art artwork, an artistic movement that started in the 50s. You are probably familiar with the works of Andy Warhol. You will certainly not go unnoticed!
