6 Halloween Makeup Inspirations From The Pros

By Gisel Habibnejad Halloween is not just about the costumes anymore. The better the face makeup, the more realistic and, let’s face it—just plain awesome. You can turn the most basic costume into something unique with a twist, like a zombie ballerina or a vampire Elvis Presley. Of course, you’ll need the right products… None of those oily paints that come from costume stores. Something professional will ensure a long-lasting effect for all your hard work.  The talented makeup artists at MAC show us how we can turn boring costumes into beautiful art with these six creative looks. 1.

The Illamasqua Haunting

Whether we like it or not, the eve of Halloween is upon us. Ghost and ghouls will soon emerge from lawyer’s offices and photography studios where they lurk during the day, and terrorize the streets in their most capable yet outlandish disguises, leaving their day job behind for the night. In order to prep for such a wicked, confection-craze fright-fest, they flood into the Illamasqua counter at Bloomingdales in the Aventura Mall by the numbers. Illamasqua is a UK based make-up brand that has spread like an epidemic from the English Channel all the way to American shores, landing in homeland soil and bringing colorful individuality to cities like New York, New Jersey, Chicago and most recently, Miami. Every first Saturday of each month, the “movement” of a brand educates eager, make-up buffs on the ins and outs of proper application along with the use of each product (like their cruelty-free, synthetic brushes) by holding first-hand tutorials of tricks and tips to refine your once amateur beauty skills to expertise levels. In this week’s Beauty School Drop In class, the Illamasqua “creatives” schooled the “pupils” on how to make heads do a 360-degree turn while howling at the full moon light, or maybe just enjoying a signature Eyeball Martini at your best friend’s Monster Mania soiree, either way, Illamasqua has the “faces” that you need to be wearing on October’s most celebrated day of the dead. Little Lolita – Good for guises like geishas or flappers. Poison Ivy’s Evil Twin – Try this look for a playful peacock or a seductive serpent. The Queen of Darkness – Although this look could go with just about anything, we recommend pairing it with a racy cat suit or a Wicked Witch from the Southeast number.

READY TO ROCK YOUR HALLOWEEN COSTUME?

5 Tips to Get Your Body READY TO ROCK Your Halloween Costume       Boo! One of the most special holidays is right around the corner. I have to say it’s my favorite one, Halloween! And as we all know, Miami is the perfect place to spend this time, with incredible events and parties everywhere. I love this time of the year because for one day I get to be whatever I want – a superhero, a movie star, or maybe even a sexy nurse. So if you are like me and love this festivity, here are 5 tips that will help you to rock that hot Halloween costume! 1) Start incorporating fat burning foods into your meals every day. What are “fat burning foods” you ask? Avocados, grapefruits, chicken, fish, eggs, oatmeal, nuts, and berries. Eating these foods will put you on the fast track to getting lean and sexy in no time. 2) You need to supercharge your body with these super foods – Raw Maca Powder, Goji Berries, Spirulina, Chia Seeds, and Apple Cider Vinegar. These foods pack a powerful punch of nutritional value, helping you stay healthy, energized, lose weight.. and even keep you looking younger than ever! 3) Cut out the sugar! Nothing can ruin your attempts to lose weight faster than sugar, sugar sitting in our body turns into fat! This 1 ingredient is hiding everywhere in all the drinks and foods we eat – this includes sodas, juices, desserts, and white carbohydrates. Instead of these nutritional sins, replace them with whole grain foods, fruits, vegetables, water with squeezed lemon, and green tea (or Oolong tea to burn even more fat!). 4) Eat meals more often. By eating small meals often throughout the day, you will increase your metabolism, reduce your cravings, avoid over-eating, and you’ll be less likely to make bad decisions on what to eat. Make sure you include protein in every meal because it takes longer to be digested.Work out your legs! Our leg muscles are the largest muscles in our body, so when we do any kind of physical activity involving our legs, it requires a lot of energy. In this process, you not only build your sexy legs but also burn fat from your whole body. 5) Work out your legs!
