How to get the witchy beauty look

Step 1. Magical matte base

• Apply a matte foundation all over your face using a foundation brush or damp blending sponge. Remember to blend the foundation below your jaw and into your hairline for a soft and seamless finish.
• Touch up any blemishes or darker spots with a concealer and blend it in using your finger or a small concealer brush for more precision.
• Next, define the face by applying powder or cream contour to your jawline and just below your cheekbones for a sculpted effect. An angled contour brush is the best choice for this step!

Step 2. Playful pops of colour

• To bring softer elements into this witch makeup look, start by applying a pink or red-toned blush shade to the apples of your cheeks using a blush brush.
• Use a highlighter brush to sweep a silvery highlighter across the tops of your cheekbones for an ethereal finish.

Step 3. Edgy eyes

• For your base colour, sweep a dark grey eyeshadow all over the eyelid using a fluffy eyeshadow brush. Use a flat smudging to take this shade under your eye, too.
• Take a sparkly silvery eyeshadow (or the highlighter you used in the previous step!) and apply this over your eyelid and into your inner corner.
• Use your base shade and fluffy brush and start blending this colour into your crease to soften the edges.
• Create a sharp wing using a black eyeliner pen or pencil for an extra dose of drama.
• Swipe on some jet-black mascara, followed by a pair of wispy falsies for a fluttery effect.

Step 4. Dark and defined brows

• Forget soft and fluffy brows; witchy beauty brows are all about definition.
• To create the perfect shape, outline the shape of your brows with an eyebrow pencil. In any sparse areas, draw thin, brow-like strokes to fill in the gaps.

To set the hairs in place, comb through your brows with a clear or tinted brow gel

Step 5. Vampy pout

• Line your lips using a red or brown-toned lip liner; this will help to accentuate your lip shape and make your lipstick last longer.
• Apply dark red lipstick all over your lips to dial up the drama.

Step 6. Finishing touches

• To ensure this gothic makeup look stays put all day (and night!), close your eyes and spritz a setting spray all over your face.
• If you’re using this as your witch Halloween makeup look, now’s the time to grab your broomstick and pop on your pointy hat!
