If makeup isn't necessarily your area of expertise (guilty as charged) — or hey, even if it is! — Halloween offers an opportunity to whip out the heavy duty face paints and have a little fun with your look.
Bold lipsticks? Absolutely. Contouring? Definitely worth giving a try! And for a combination of all of these things, you need to try the video tutorial below.
Verified YouTube beauty vlogger Michelle Phan certainly knows her way around a makeup kit. With more than 8 million subscribers to her channel, it's no wonder her tutorial for a Barbie costume has been watched more than 62 million times.
But watching her completely transform her makeup in a matter of minutes is truly mesmerizing. She works with an entire palette of makeup running the gamut of just about every color on the spectrum, but you can recreate this look for Halloween on the cheap by purchasing only the colors she uses for the look.
Loved this look but not sold completely on duplicating it for your own Halloween ensemble? Try something a little less pink with a comic book character or pop art masterpiece.
Let us know what you think of Michelle's masterly makeup skills in the comments, and be sure to SHARE this video with your friends on Facebook so they can try it, too!
