Halloween Is Over

Did anyone else buy make-up especially for Halloween? I was an 80s pop star for Halloween, and, of course, I couldn't be an 80s anything without blue eyeshadow. I popped into MAC for some blue eyeshadow, where Kristen (my stunning MAC-anista) played with a dark blue and smoky black eye to go with my Halloween costume.

The color was impeccable, and I wish I could share with you the looks I received when I popped into White House Black Market next. I was definitely the brightest thing in there.

The blue eyeshadow was perfect for Halloween, but the next morning I still woke up with a full pot of blue eyeshadow, one I didn't want to waste now that Halloween was over. I mulled over how to wear it stylishly, finally deciding on a day when I felt bright eyeshadow would compliment my outfit.

I started with a soft, muted purple from The Body Shop over my whole lid. I took a darker purple in the crease of my eye, and I ended the look by applying the blue in the outer corners of my eye.

I liked the look. The blue added to the pallate without becoming overpowering. I hope to use it often and find other ways to wear it before next Halloween.

Does anyone else have Halloween make-up they aren't sure how to use? Let's help each other find ways to use these seemingly-useless looks.
