When someone says “Halloween,” cute and spooky costumes are probably the first thing that pop into your head. Or, if you’re the DIY-type, your mind might wander to the killer deals you can get on Halloween costume accessories at a thrift store. But while both of those subjects are, dare we say, spooktacular, it’s the makeup you wear on Halloween night that will either make or break your overall look.

Is your goal this Halloween to be a fairy that seems to have flown straight out of an enchanted forest? Then you’ll need the right makeup to sell the look. Spirit Halloween, everyone’s favorite pop-up store for Halloween goodies, has plenty of face paints, glittering lashes, and temp tattoos you can buy to kick off your fairy makeover. But if you’re new to makeup or in need of inspiration, a makeup tutorial is a great way to get those creative juices flowing.

Before we get started, make sure you cleanse and prime your skin in preparation, just like you should do before you apply any kind of makeup. Once that’s done, it’s time to begin your fairy makeover.
