Special effects pro Rick Baker has teamed up with makeup giant MAC – to create series of scary (and sometimes oddly sexy) Halloween makeup looks. Baker has created three versatile looks: The Zombie, Bride, and Day of the Dead.
Of all these looks, ‘The Bride’ is probably the most wearable and easy to replicate. The look features bold eyebrows, a blood red lip, and a set of creepy facial stitches. The actual line of makeup includes heavy-duty makeup objects such as acrylic paints and chromographic pencils.
However, a lot of the makeup for all these looks have a great color palette to translate well into your every day look – for instance, the cyber deep plum lipstick can become a fall staple long after Halloween ends!
