Hi Friends,
The spooky season has begun, and I’m back with another Halloween makeup tutorial! Today’s look is inspired by Violet from ‘Charlie And the Chocolate Factory‘. I wanted to keep this one simple, so I created a look that can be done last minute. If you’re in need of a quick Halloween costume, this tutorial will help. I think it turned out pretty well, and I hope you do too!

Base
You can start by doing your everyday primer, foundation, concealer, and setting powder routine. For the cheeks, aim for a very glowy and rosy look. The Tarte face palette I used is unfortunately discontinued, but I recommend the e.l.f. Primer Infused Blush in Always Vibrant and the Revolution Beauty Reloaded Pressed Powder Highlighter in Make an Impact.

Eyes
I used a combination of shades from the Urban Decay Naked palette, which has also been discontinued, but you can use the Naked Reloaded palette as a substitute. Apply the shade Bucked in the crease and Angel Fire all over the lid. To add a pop of purple, I used the shade Filtered from the ColourPop Lilac You a Lot Shadow Palette in the crease. Make sure to blend everything together well. Finally, add black eyeliner to your top and bottom lash lines and finish with black mascara.

Special Effect
To get the “turning violet” effect, I used the ColourPop Lilac You a Lot Shadow Palette. I started at the nose and blended outward. You can go as far out as you’d like, but the goal is to look like you’re turning violet. I began with the shade Cloud, then layered a combination of Iffy and Filtered on top. I added a touch of Trainwreck to the nose and blended the edges with Imagine That.

Lips
For the lips, I used Revlon’s Super Lustrous Lipstick in Va Va Violet, which I thought suited the look best. However, a more natural or pink-toned lipstick would work just as well!

If you recreate the look, please leave a comment and let me know! And if you’re into Halloween or book-themed makeup looks, don’t forget to like, share, and follow!
