Your pumpkins are carved, your fake spider webs are spread around your house, but have you chosen a Halloween costume yet? We always wait until the very last minute to decide on our costume (we’re human, after all) and that means sometimes we have to create looks using the makeup we already have in our cosmetics bag. But, just because we are using the clean, cruelty-free jane iredale makeup we know and love, doesn’t mean we can’t have a fun, on-trend costume!

Here are four of Halloween makeup looks you can create using your favorite jane iredale products.

  3. Next, use the GreatShape Contour Kit to contour, highlight, and add a rosy glow to your face. Remember to blend really well because this is a soft-focused look.

The Butterfly Effect

  2. Next, using the White Fan Brush, apply the gold and light champagne color from the Moonglow Bronzer onto the high points of your face. Apply 3 – 4 feather-light layers to build the filter effect.
  3. Amplify the glowing effect by adding hints of Moonglow Bronzer down the bridge of your nose, your cupid’s bow, on your chin, and above your eyebrows.
