Fairy Halloween Makeup Tips

One of my all-time favorite things to be for Halloween is a fairy. This cute costume is simple and fun and always gives you a chance to sparkle. But in order to make the most of your fairy inspired Halloween costume, you are going to need just the right makeup. Here are some tips that will help you get that perfect fairy look.

Start with the makeup you already have. You don't have to buy all new makeup for your fairy look. Most of the makeup you need will come from your regular makeup collection. By mostly using things you already have, you will save a lot of money on your Halloween look.

Find a few special makeup extras in the Halloween supplies. Halloween is a great holiday to find fun and unique makeup items. And it is often much cheaper than regular makeup. So don't think you'll have to spend a lot of money to add a few special touches. Try your local dollar store or Walmart for great Halloween makeup items.

Foundation. Start your fairy look with a great foundation. No need to buy anything special, just use your everyday foundation and apply as usual.

Eyeliner. The next step is eyeliner. Even if you don't wear this everyday, you will want to use it for fairy makeup. It will add a great pop to your eyes. It's fun to experiment with color. Using a bright blue, green, or purple eyeliner can add just the right touch of magic to your makeup. You can also keep it neutral with a brown or black eyeliner, if you'd rather use your eye shadow to play with color.

Eye shadow. If you choose a neutral eyeliner, then you'll definitely want to use color in your eye shadow. Shimmery shades will give you the best fairy inspired look. Think of the color of your costume, and choose an eye shadow shade that will complement it. If you decide to use a brightly colored eyeliner, you won't want to play too much with the color of your eye shadow. Try a shimmery bronze or pink.

Mascara. Finish your eyes with plenty of mascara to make your eyes the focal point of your face. Use any color or brand that you like for your every day look.

Blush. Blush will add just the right glow to your beautiful fairy face. Go for a soft pink that complements your eye makeup.

Lipstick. When choosing a lipstick color, you'll also want to choose something soft. Since your eyes are going to be your emphasis, you don't want to draw too much attention elsewhere. Choose a soft shade that matches your blush.

Sparkles. Your fairy inspired makeup is never complete until you add on the sparkles! You can find sparkles in almost any color. I like to use pearl or silver because they usually match any color makeup or costume. You can play with sparkles on any part of your face. I like to use them as an eye highlight over eye shadow. You can also use them on cheeks and lips, and even add them to your hair.

Finish with the perfect fairy costume. Now that your makeup looks great, finish with a great fairy costume. The nice thing about a fairy costume is that it can be as simple as a cute dress and wings. However you choose to costume, you can be sure that your beautiful fairy makeup will be the best part of your Halloween look.
