With halloween upon us and no where to go to celebrate, I thought it would be timely to offer up a couple of last minute ideas if you are doing something fun and some movie suggestions if this year you’re celebrating on the couch. Since you’ll most likely be gathering virtually, here are just two options that you can totally pull off.
Dia De Los Muertos themed Sugar Skull
This one has become pretty popular over the last few years because you can go minimal or you can get really into it with crystals and tons of color. It will take some time but most good things do. Here are some of my favorite examples.
Wednesday Addamms
First. Watch The Addamms Family and Addamms Family Values. Then, decide to be Wednesday Addamms - vacant stare and all - and get to braiding. This is an easy one to build on, you can do as much or as little makeup as you’d like. A touch of silver highlighter, or all over luminescent? Glossier’s Moonestone Haloscope is a great option, not to sticky and extra buildable. Lots of black eyeliner or just a little wing? There is a reason this Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner is always winning awards for best liquid eyeliner. Natural - a la the original Wednesday - lips? Or, goth-chic black lipstick? Here are two of my favorite black lipsticks, yes I have favorites because black lipstick should never be dry and cakey. MAC’s Liptensity in Stallion is the most moisturizing I have found and Urban Decay’s Vice Lipstick in VooDoo definitely has the most/best pigment. Choose your own adventure…but definitely watch Addamms Family Values.
At-Home Halloween Movie Suggestions
There are so many great movies to stream this season that this could be a very long list but I will just give you 3. Beetlejuice, if you are so sad that Moira Rose and Schitt’s Creek is over just wait until you see her parent a depressed Winona Ryder. Practical Magic, a forever favorite. One day I will dress up like one of the aunts because they are my absolute favorite. Death Becomes Her, Meryl Streep and Goldie Hawn - need I say more? Classic, ridiculous and so fun. Happy Halloween, stay safe and enjoy whatever it is you have planned!
