How To: Halloween Galaxy Makeup

Want a look that’s out of this world for Halloween? Swap your usual warts-and-all witch for star-sprinkled galaxy makeup. Destined to make you shine bright among your peers of vampires, werewolves and superheroes, it’s sure to dress up any costume in a matter of minutes.

What Do I Need to Create the Galaxy Makeup Look?

Foundation
Blending sponge
2 x blue face paint (one dark blue, one light blue)
Shimmer glitter/highlighter
Blusher brush
White face paint
Thin lip brush
Clear brow gel
Mascara
Purple lipstick
Glitter hairspray

Step 1 – Apply foundation

Take your trusty blending sponge and foundation and apply to your whole face. Use a dabbing technique to create an even base.

Step 2 – Dab on blue face paint

Coat your blending sponge (one you won’t mind washing thoroughly after creating the look!) in blue face paint and dab the bold colour along the outer edges of your face.

Once you’re happy with the positioning of the dark blue colour, take a lighter blue and dab this along the inner edge, graduating inwards.

Step 3 – Apply glitter all over face

Instead of setting your look with a barely-there powder, take a shimmery glitter and apply all over. This will add an eye-catching glow at every angle.

Top Tip: If loose glitter powder is too messy for your liking (or too dramatic) use a highlighter instead.

Step 4 – Draw on stars

Once the blue face paint and powder has completely set, take a thin brush (a lip brush will work well for this) and dip into white face paint. Draw on stars in varying sizes all over the blue backdrop, scattering them across the cheeks, forehead and towards the chin.
