Halloween might be an American holiday, but it seems South African makeup lovers have also jumped on the trend where they showcase their creative makeup looks.
History.com defines this holiday as a day when the dead return to their homes, adding that, people then commemorate this day by dressing up in scary costumes as a way to scare off these spirits.
Celebrity makeup artist Lanii Doa says, “This look can be done on the fly for anyone who is in a rush and needs a last-minute Halloween makeup idea.”
Glamour says that most Halloween makeup looks are inspired by horror movies where makeup enthusiasts channel those spooky characters. These makeup looks are known to have bold colours and sometimes 3D effects on them.
