Once you get the costume and the style out of the way, you may look down and realize you are still wearing the gunmetal polish of four days ago.
So, what’s hot for Halloween nails?
The easiest thing, obviously, is to, well, fake it. Dashing Diva’s Design Nails on the Go, available at Sephora, are TOTALLY cute – as in black with skulls! – but are natural-looking press-ons, meaning you don’t have to commit to them, at all. (And can have them even i you have short stubby nails.)
Of course, something to remember…if you are going for a non-skull-sympathetic costume (like, say, …read more

OK, I promise: This shall be my final pre-Halloween beauty post.
(Mostly because Halloween starts in about a half hour.)
First of all, I’m loving the new Sephora Halloween Kit -it’s only $19, and gives all sorts of fabulously Halloween-appropriate looks, all in one box.

A little guidance is always a good thing! Here are some fab tips from celeb makeup artist Brett Freedman:

MakeUpMania is a great source for both glamour and SFX/”fun” makeup. Aside from the LaFemme Glow On Rouge and eyeshadow pans (so huge and just a few bucks each), there are all kinds of wigs, fake blood, and everything you could possibly want to be sexy or scary for Halloween. The prices are already quite reasonable but saving 13% on top is not too shabby! I will be plotting my order tonight as the code ends after Friday!
