Create an easy Halloween look with everyday makeup: Cleopatra

A model made to look like Cleopatra using everyday makeup from Artistry.

Are you someone who loves Halloween and can’t wait to try new costumes? Or do you only dress up under duress, doing the bare minimum to avoid ridicule?

No matter where you fall on the spectrum, we have some ideas to help using makeup you likely already own, a few props and maybe some shades borrowed from friends.

Amway Connections provided Phoenix-area makeup artist Maria Micsunecu with several different kinds of Artistry™ makeup and asked her to develop three different Halloween looks that other people could easily recreate.

Mermaids and vampires, oh my!

If a mythical mermaid is your style, click here to see how to create the look. Want to be a bit more frightening? See how she creates a glamorous but slightly gory vampire. But if you’ve always dreamed of being an Egyptian queen, watch the video below to see her transform someone into Cleopatra.

See the products and simple steps she used under the video so you can recreate it yourself. Simply make adjustments for your own skin tone and have some fun.

Or, use these techniques to create an entirely new look for your costume. Take a look, tell us what you think!
