Halloween is coming soon – do you have your look lined up yet? We’ve got a purr-fectly good idea that will delight everyone around you and get them asking all about it. You can be everyone’s favorite feline femme fatale with this tutorial from Anastasia Beverly Hills. Step 1: The Brows After washing and hydrating your face, use Brow Definer to outline dramatic brows – our model is using shade Medium Brown. Build dimension and fullness with Brow Pen (Dark Brown shown here). Highlight with Pro Pencil for a lifted effect. Sculpt and set for the evening with Brow Freeze® Gel. Step 2: The Face Cover with Luminous Foundation to create a fresh, natural finish; our model is wearing shade 345C. Apply Magic Touch Concealer as necessary to correct (Shade 11 used here). Add the perfect glow with Blurring Serum Blush; here we’ve mixed Hibiscus and Guava shades. Set with Loose Setting Powder in shade Translucent. Step 3: The Eyes Start with a neutral matte eyeshadow – our model is wearing shades: Burnt Orange, Sienna, Rustic & Noir from Soft Glam Eyeshadow Palette. Add contrasting intensity with Darkside Waterproof Gel Liner – then dial up the drama with either Lash Sculpt Lengthening or Lash Brag® Volumizing Mascara for extension-effect natural lashes, or NORVINA® False Lashes. Step 4: The Mask Sketch your mask using NORVINA® Chroma Stix in White, then fill it in with Waterproof Crème Color. Add “stitching” using Black and White shades of Liquid Liner. Outline the lips with Lip Liner – our model is using Malt and Cherry shades – then apply Liquid Lipstick in American Doll shade. For a finishing touch, you can add a beauty mark with Liquid Liner. Ears and gloves will complete your look. Meow!

Get The Look: Cloud & Matte

Are you looking to achieve a dreamy-looking “cloud skin” complexion? The forecast says you’re in luck! It’s easy to create this soft, slightly matte, slightly radiant (and so on-trend) look at home. It’s great for all skin types – especially those with oily skin – and it goes with all makeup styles, from subtle to ultra-glam. All you need is to follow these steps and use these makeup products from Anastasia Beverly Hills. Here’s how to do it. STEP 1: PERFECT Magic Touch Concealer To start, use creamy Magic Touch Concealer to correct and brighten your skin to an even, luminous finish. Select the shade closest to your skin tone, then use the wand to apply dots to the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Also apply directly over blemishes, discoloration, or anywhere you need extra coverage. Blend using the A30 Pro Brush. STEP 2: RADIANCE Blurring Serum Blush Next, we’ll add a natural-looking flash of color using Blurring Serum Blush. This hydrating, soft-matte liquid blush is great for creating the flushed-from-within effect that goes with this look. To apply, squeeze a dot directly onto the cheeks and blend with your fingertips, using gentle pressing motions. Add another dot or two if you want more intensity, or layer two shades to create a custom effect. STEP 3: SET Loose Setting Powder To finish, we’ll use Loose Setting Powder to brighten and blur. This lightweight, silky powder sets makeup with the desired smooth, flawless matte finish you want. Apply using a makeup sponge or powder brush, lightly pressing in the areas you want to set. Be sure to focus on the T-zone from forehead down to nose and chin, and under the eyes. You’re looking for a bright, diffused effect to achieve this look. COMPLETE THE LOOK Lip Velvet Adding some velvet-smooth color and finish to your lips is a delicious way to complement your new “cloud skin” look. Lip Velvet is a weightless, true-matte color lip mousse that wears comfortably and looks smooth, natural and moisturizing on the skin.

Get The Look: Soft & Sculpted

This soft & sculpted brows is all about definition – accentuating and enhancing your cheekbones, jawline and brow to give your face a more toned and youthful-looking appearance. By adding subtle, seamless dimension and avoiding harsh lines, you can achieve this breath-taking-yet-natural-appearing complexion at home. To do it, just follow these steps and use these makeup products from Anastasia Beverly Hills. Let’s start sculpting! STEP 1: PERFECT Luminous Foundation This makeup will leave your skin with a radiant, perfect-looking complexion. Start by selecting the Luminous Foundation shade that most closely matches your skin tone. Apply directly in areas where you need the most coverage, such as the center of the face, forehead, nose, jawline and chin. Apply and blend out with A30 Pro Brush, a makeup sponge or your fingertips. STEP 2: RADIANCE Blurring Serum Blush Next, let’s add a natural-looking flash of color using Blurring Serum Blush. This hydrating, soft-matte liquid blush is great for adding seamless, subtle color to your cheeks. To apply, squeeze a dot directly onto the cheeks and blend with your fingertips, using gentle pressing motions. Add another dot or two if you want more intensity, or layer two shades to create a custom effect. STEP 3: BRIGHTEN Magic Touch Concealer Finally, use creamy Magic Touch Concealer to highlight and brighten your features with a second-skin finish. To use as a highlighter, select the shade that is two shades lighter than your natural skin tone, then apply to the high points of your face: upper cheekbones, central forehead, the bridge and the tip of your nose, and your Cupid’s Bow – that area just above your lips. Start with a light application and build as desired, as a little goes a long way with this product. COMPLETE THE LOOK Lip Velvet Adding velvet-smooth color and finish to your lips is a striking way to complement your new sculpted look. Lip Velvet is a weightless, true-matte color lip mousse that wears comfortably and looks smooth, natural and moisturizing on the skin. And of course, we have to give a shout to one of our favorite eyebrow products: Brow Wiz® is our award-winning pencil that’s perfect for giving your brows added detail and definition.
