ColourPop’s products are favorites of hers. That includes colorful eyeliners and lip liners, which (when shaded just right) can be used for realistic detailing, as in mock wounds. Several of the makeup artists we talked to shared a similar sentiment: “It’s important to remember you can also do a lot with things you already have,” says Alexandra. “You walk away from the night with your face intact and not left with 50,000 colors when you remove it,” Wells adds. That’s in no small part because of how easy the paints are to wash off.

And Wells points out that everyone from body painters to clowns and pro makeup artists relies on them. Supalo seconds this, saying these paints are “very vibrant” when applied. Depending on how much water you add, there are “endless possibilities” to what you can do, she says. She also likes the versatility in the paints’ consistency. Alexandra’s tip is to play around with different applicators - a fine brush will give you more precision, while a sponge (like a Beauty Blender) works well for creating bruises and splatters. If you don’t want to mess with liquid makeup, this palette features paints that are water activated dry within their respective pans, they come alive when wet with a tool of your choice. Mehron really does reign supreme: The company’s Paradise paints earned three shout-outs - from content-creator–slash–cosplayer Dakota Alexandra, Supalo, and Wells. “If these paints can hold up through a three-hour Shakespearean ghoul fest, they’ll be fine for Halloween,” she says. Perkins even used it for an all-nude production in which every actor was a cadaver. In our guide to the best Halloween body paint, Rebecca Perkins of Rouge NY (fun fact: She was tasked with making corpses look real on Law & Order: SVU) told us she considers it the next best thing to professional airbrushing.
This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about the brand’s Liquid Makeup.
Mehron’s colors are very workable, meaning you can add as many layers as needed.

This paint contrasts with cheaper alternatives that contain alcohol-based ingredients, which dry out your skin more than any other makeup, Wells adds. Supalo praises its performance - the paint is designed to be smudgeproof and long-lasting - while Wells compliments its water-based formula. This Liquid Makeup is a tried-and-true staple in the kits of makeup artist Elly Supalo and Morgan Wells, the founder of Jane Doe Makeup. Don’t let Mehron’s reputation for professional-quality products scare you - they’re still beginner friendly. To find the best skin-friendly options, we asked seven special-effects makeup artists for their top recommendations.Īlmost every expert we talked to name-checked Mehron, the nearly century-old makeup label founded in New York City’s Theater District.

The wrong products can be a nightmare to remove, plus they can cause irritation and dryness that, depending on your skin type, may take some time to clear up. And avoid the cheap stuff you sometimes see in your local pop-up Halloween shop. That means no literal paint - please, think of your skin. You shouldn’t put just anything on your face.

Doing a full face of Halloween makeup can feel daunting, however, which is why what you use is as important as how you use it. But if you’re planning on something slightly more involved - like a powdered pre-Revolution Marie Antoinette, a smoky-eyed Robert Pattinson-as-the-Batman, or Stranger Things’ Vecna sipping a venti-size cold brew - cosmetics can take your costume to the next level. Some Halloween looks don’t need much in the makeup department - if you’re going for A League of Their Own, a vermilion pout is enough to get Greta Gill’s grin just right.
