With Halloween right around the corner many of us are already thinking about our costumes, hair, and ultimately makeup. To make your life a little easier I decided to share this step-by-step makeup tutorial with you. Sometimes Halloween makeup [or any heavy makeup, really] can be hard to remove, but I took #NeutrogenaFaceOff challenge and will attempt to remove it all using only one Neutrogena Cleansing Towelette. Let’s see if that does anything!
Today we are creating a look inspired by my muse Snow White, a fictional princess from a world-famous German fairy tale. Snow White is known for her porcelain skin and red lips, and it’s such a classic look that with the right colors it would look flattering on everyone.
1. I started by mixing my foundation in the lightest shade with some green concealer to neutralize any redness in my skin, then applied that concoction to the face. Don’t worry about looking too ghostly pale, that’s the whole point of it.
2. Draw big black brows. When I say big, I mean it! These brows are almost twice the size of my natural ones in terms of length and thickness.
3. Apply medium brown eye shadow to your top lids, and a little bit along the bottom lash line. I also added a smidge of deep brown in the crease and blended it out to give my lids some definition.
4. Now it’s time to draw a winged eyeliner. It should be thick and bold, but don’t wing it too far from the outer corner of the eye. This is the only part of the tutorial that took me more than a few minutes to do, because,you know, winged eyeliner – nuff said!
5. Now curl your lashes and apply several generous coats of mascara. Make those winks really thick and bushy!
6. I lightly applied some baby pink blush on the apples of my cheeks. Don’t overblush it, though, just add enough color so the face doesn’t look flat.
7. If you want, you can also apply false lashes. This step can be time consuming though, and can be skipped if you’re short on time – the final result will look great even without falsies.
8. And finally, the wow factor – red lipstick. You can use whatever shade of red suits you best, I used this medium red liquid lipstick that also added lots of gloss.
And now the #NeutrogenaFaceOff challenge! Neutrogena claims that their Make Up Cleansing Towelettes can remove heavy makeup with just one wipe, so I took them up on that challenge and stopped by my local Walmart to pick up a box.
I was skeptical, but tried it anyway, and it was actually true. Of course, makeup wipes will never replace a thorough multi-step cleansing routine for me, but when you come home super tired and just want to crash, they are definitely life savers.
Share your Halloween look and how you use Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes to remove your makeup for the #NeutrogenaFaceOff challenge.
Such a pretty look for Halloween! Thank you! #client
Thank you! I’m so happy you like it 🙂
Love it! I adore the Snow White look – pale skin, red lips, dark hair
Thank you, I’m glad you like it! I wish I had a black wig to wear for this tutorial, it would have been perfect 🙂
This is such a beautiful look! I love the red gloss.
That red gloss was perfect! And it was actually my first time using it, too.
Those lips!
I don’t dress up on Halloween.
I don’t think I dressed up for Halloween since college!
I love this look and would wear it any day.
You are so brave to wear it daily! I’m usually a no makeup makeup kind of girl, haha, so for me this is a super bold move. Glad you like it!
Gorgeous look that’s almost too nice for Halloween. I hated to see you wipe it off 😉
Aw thank you! This look is very versatile, it can work for a pin-up outfit or oldschool Hollywood diva, too.
Beautiful look!
Thank you!
I love your step-by-step tutorial. 🙂
Thank you Kim, I’m glad you like it. It’s pretty easy, isn’t it?
Absolutely stunning!

Thank you Brooke!
NAILED IT! And you reminded me that I need to catch up on Once Upon A Time!
I haven’t seen that show yet, but I always wanted to 🙂 And thank you! I wish I had a black wig, that would have been more appropriate than my amber locks, haha.
Gorgeous!
Thanks, Mom! Although Mike said I looked scary and was happy to see me wipe it all off. Men! 🙂
So pretty! I was snow white when I was like 6 for halloween 🙂
I bet you were the cutest Snow White, Miranda!
Love the look you created!
Thank you, Laura, I’m happy that you like it!
This look was made for you–great job!!
You know me too well 🙂 I *adore* her porcelain skin, and it’s my lifelong dream and a work in progress to have a pearly complexion.
What a great look! I love the super-pale skin and red lip. Even though it’s a costume, it’s still pretty!
Thank you Nidia! I love this look too and always admire women who rock this every day. I’m just not bold enough for that 🙂
I love this look on you!
Thank you Justina!
You look so gorgeous Snow White!
Thank you kath, you are too sweet 🙂 <3
This is gorgeous. You have the perfect snow white skin girl.
Thank you Honey! <3 I’ll let you in on a secret – that skin is harrrrddd work, it’s not the genes! You know you’re just a tad bit obsessed when you stand near a window and the only thing you can think of is whether you re-applied SPF in time LOL. Yeah, I need intervention I think.
Beautiful makeup look and great tutorial!
Thank you Natalie, I’m so happy that you like it!
You complexion goes great with this tutorial 🙂
Thank you Betzy! 🙂 Snow White has always been one of my fave characters, so I’m glad I can recreate her look at least for a day 🙂
I wish I could do Snow White. I think I’m too olive/beige. Looks great!
My complexion also is on the yellow’ish side, so you can totally do it!
so cool
Thank you!
You look gorgeous- & I love that lip color!
Thank you Stephanie! It’s Shiseido Lacquer Rouge in Drama.
