My Leaf Garland

It’s undeniable that Snapchat’s various filters are one of the best things about social media today -- (not to mention, they’re often pretty flattering!) So, instead of simply adding a filter to your selfies this Halloween, why not recreate them in real life using makeup?! We looked to the incredible team of talented makeup artists at Blushington Beauty & Makeup Lounge to show us how to ‘get the look’ of some of our favorite filters right now -- they’re sharing the products you need to create clever, though ever so glamorous, costumes this season that are sure to thrill.

Recommended products: stila Stay All day foundation or Ben NyeColor Cake Foundation in White, Becca Mineral Powder Foundation

Prime the eyes and use a medium matte brown eyeshadow in the crease extending out past the eye to create an elongated look. Pack on a light, bright shadow such as a true white or shimmery champagne on the lid. Line top lids with a black gel liner creating a winged effect. Make sure the inner corner extends inward beyond the natural eye. Line bottom waterline and lash line with a white pencil, dropping it down beyond the natural lash line to give the illusion of a larger eye. Smudge soft brown shadow at the base of the white and add lashes to the top and bottom.
