Halloween appropriate makeup with Makeup Revolution - Give Them Nightmares and Dia de los Muertos palettes Review and Swatches

Trick or Treat!  Here in Australia Halloween is not celebrated much but I thought I would get in the spirit by putting together a mini collection of Halloween appropriate makeup from Makeup Revolution. First of all can we just appreciate the cute packaging!

Both these eyeshadow palettes can be used for a wide range of Halloween makeup looks and are just under $13 AUD each. They both perform amazingly, as usual with Makeup Revolution Products, they are so vibrant and extremely pigmented.  As with all eyeshadow I always use some form of eyeshadow base or primer to ensure the best staying power possible.
First up we have the Dia de los Muertos palette.  This palette has 6 matte and 12 shimmer shades in a wide range of colours.  I think this palette is great for pretty Halloween looks such as sugar skulls, fairies or mermaids.  Also since there are neutral/flesh tones it is amazing for a cat, werewolf, zombie or vampire look.

I love how the names for this palette are so uplifting and positive.

Get Out There.

  

Row 2 L-R.  Live Life, Smile, Salvation Is Inside, Or Get Busy Dying, Celebrate Life and

The next palette is Give Them Nightmares which is perfect for an elf, fairy, mermaid or vampy look. This palette also has 6 matte and 12 shimmer shades so you can achieve multiple looks.

Great Halloween appropriate names.

Row 1 L-R.  who's There?, Danger Coming, Lethal, Pretty Zombie
Bump In The Night and Poisonous.

Row 2 L-R.  Lawless, The Hunger, I Am Watching You, Beyond The Night,
Wicked and Friday 13th.

Row 3 L-R.  White Noise, Elm St, Ash, Boo, Depravity and
Darkness.

Last but not least is the Salvation Velvet Lacquer in shade Velvet Vamp which is $6.45 AUD.  I love this shade but unfortunately after an hour or two of wearing this it starts flaking off really badly in the centre of my lips.  I have other matte liquid lipsticks in my collection that don't do this so prefer to use those but will definitely keep it around for ombre lips though.

I love these palettes and you can basically create endless looks with them whether for Halloween or everyday makeup.  Halloween doesn't have to mean going out and spending a lot of money on SFX makeup as you can create so many looks with normal makeup you already have.  What are you going as for Halloween?

Happy Halloween! 

Have a great day and keep smiling. xoxo
