Be Barbie for Halloween

A Cute and Sexy Halloween Makeup Idea

If you’ve been following our big Halloween costume debate over on Glamour.com, you know that most of us fall into one of two costume camps: We go either super-cute or hella-sexy. But I’ve got a costume idea that will work on both sides of the style divide: Barbie! There was a ton of Barbie beauty inspiration on the fall runways this season since Babs celebrated the 5-0 this year—and to think, thanks to the plastic skin, faux hair and saucer-size eyes of hers, she doesn’t look a day over 21! To DIY Barbie’s signature über-feminine beauty look—the kind Paris Hilton always seems to be sporting—celebrity makeup artist Brett Freedman suggests starting with your eyes. “Dust silver shadow over the whole lid from lashes to brows and add an extra dab to the inner corners, right by the tear duct. Add a sweep of a purple-gray shadow to the crease of the eyelid, then use a felt-tip eyeliner and lightly dot on the lid, staying as close as possible to the lash line. Go back over the lid once more, and this time, press the felt tip firmly onto the skin to ‘connect the dots,’ fanning the line up and out toward the temples on the ends.” Finish off your pastel eye makeup look with bright pink cheeks and lips. Slip on a tight bubblegum-pink minidress and your night of trick-or-treating will be extra sweet. - GLAMOUR MAGAZINE
