Step-by-Step Halloween Costume Prep

She’s a regular in Hollywood headlines—why not make Ariana Grande your costume of choice this Halloween? Here, our friends at CurliQue Beauty Boutique in Vancouver offer a step-by-step guide to achieving this look! —Vita Daily

step 1. Prep skin with your daily moisturizer, apply your choice of primer all over the face and apply eye primer on lids using fingers.


step 2. Once skin is prepped, apply your choice of coverage (either apply concealer as a spot treatment to face or concealer followed by foundation using a beauty blender). Set foundation with powder if needed.

step 3. Apply an eye shadow base colour all over the lids using a flat eyeshadow brush. Lightly apply a warmer tone. Shadow in your crease using a eyeshadow blending brush in a windshield wiper motion to create a neutral classic eye base.

step 4. Apply cat-eyed wing liner (either a gel-base liner with an angled brush or a liquid liner).


step 5. Apply a light brow-bone eye shadow to define the brow bone. Then fill brows with a brunette colour.

step 6. Apply a soft neutral blush on the apples of the cheeks and blend up to hair line.

step 7. Apply contour colour under check bone and blend to hair line and on jaw bone to define the face like Ariana.

step 8. Highlight the cheekbones, down along the bridge of the nose and on the tip of the bone.

step 9. Apply your choice of volumous lashes.

step 10. Apply a nude lip liner, a tone deeper than the matte nude liquid lipstick of your choice.

step 11. Finally, seal your makeup to last all night with your favourite mist setter.
