Another quick post in the Halloween series. This video is an interview with Wicked star Idina Menzel. During the interview they apply the basics of her green witch makeup. Some great hints and tips here…. and I had no idea that they used MAC cake makeup for the base! Guess you learn something new everyday.

Happy hauntings, my friends!

Found this video on YouTube. The lady creates a really pretty effect using eyeshadows and liners. She calls it a “Fairy-look”, but I think this would work for a princess, butterfly, or just something to go with your regular clothes for Halloween night. It also would look gorgeous in blues or purples! If you do not have the MAC shadows she used, you could use eye shadows from Milani or NYX (at your local drugstore) or L’Oreal HIP pigments (Walmart, Target, drugstores); basically any shadow as long as it has a high color saturation.

Products used include:
MAC shadestick~ sharkskin
MAC eye shadow~ Tilt
MAC eye shadow~ beautiful iris
MAC eye shadow~ Aquadisiac
MAC powerpoint eyeliner~ Engraved
Stila~ tinted moisturizer
GOSH lip liner~ Pink peony
MAC lipgloss~ Fine china
MAC glitter pigment~ Neon 60’s

In honor of the spooky holiday next week, I’m going to post up some relatively easy makeup videos. Hopefully the vids will spark your imagination in case you haven’t settled on a costume yet.

The first video is for traditional(-ish) Geisha or Maiko makeup. I am considering doing this for trick or treat night (I always dress up to hand out candy). Most of the products used could be swapped out with ones already in your house or makeup case.

Anyone else dressing up?

Bionic Beauty has a new makeup Poll up! In honor of October, Fall and Halloween (yah!), this poll asks whether or not you plan to create a new makeup look for your costume this year.
And once you’ve done that look, send them in to Bionic. I’ll post up the spooky looks!
Read on for the results of the last poll.

Our most recent Bionic Poll asked:
