Seeing all of the impressive Halloween makeup looks on social media and IRL can make you think that you need to wear more makeup, more glitter, more gory details, and just more of everything. That’s not always the case. Even when you show restraint, you can have a look that has just as much impact. Take, Halloween lip art. Simply decorating your pout in a spooktacular way can make as much of a statement as a full face of a makeup. And lip art is a good idea for those who have sensitive skin and are concerned face paint will make them break out. Just remember to watch out when you’re sipping your witches brew and munching on candy.
