Hi friends,

Halloween is this weekend! Woo hoo! Unfortunately, I’ll be at work. Womp, womp. But that doesn’t mean I still can’t dress up in a fun costume! Because the new Star Wars movie is going to be released in 52 days (but who’s counting?) I decided to go as one of my all time favorite characters. With the help from Maybelline, I created a Han Solo costume and makeup look that’s appropriate and professional for work!

First things first, I headed to my local Walmart to pick up the Maybelline products that I would use to create my character’s looks. When I dress up for Halloween, I like to go all out with my makeup, and typically it involves false lashes. But I’m going to be honest, I hate false lashes. They’re a pain to apply, I can rarely get them right on the first try, and they make my eyes feel weird while they’re on. It’s not the most pleasant experience, but I do it to get full, voluminous lash look I desire and because there’s no other option, right? Wrong! While I was at Walmart, I stumbled upon Maybelline’s The Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara, and it promised to give me the lash look I wanted without the time and hassle of applying false lashes!

This mascara is the world’s first ever patented push up brush with cup-shaped bristles that scoop, coat, and lift lashes into a dramatic 45 degrees. With it’s creamy plumping and volumizing formula, the mascara glides smoothly onto lashes for a dramatic, instant charge. After learning all of that, I knew I had to use it to create my Halloween look.

While I was at Walmart, I also stumbled upon their many brow products. In my everyday makeup routine, filled and defined brows are an absolute must, and my Halloween look would be no exception. I picked up the Maybelline EyeStudio Brow Define & Fill Duo as well as the rest of the products I would need to complete my look.

For the face, I first applied the Dream Wonder foundation all over with a damp makeup sponge. I then used the Instant Age Rewind concealer for any blemishes and redness and blended with a damp makeup sponge. To make my under eye circles brighter, I applied the Instant Age Rewind Illuminator in a triangle shape and blended with a damp makeup sponge. I contoured with FaceStudio Master HiLight to define my cheek bones.

For the eyes, I used the EyeStudio Color Tattoo in Barely Branded as a base / primer for my lids. For the shadow, I used The Nudes eyeshadow palette and applied the 3rd from the top left all over my lid. To add definition, I applied the 2nd shade from the left to my crease and blended with a fluffy brush. I then lined my eyes with EyeStudio Master Drama Gel eyeliner in black. Because this is still a Halloween costume, I want bold lashes. I used the Falsies Push Up Drama Mascara in black to create full, voluminous lashes. Finally, for my brows, I used the EyeStudio Brow Define & Fill Duo by defining them with the pencil side, and filling them in with the powder.

For my lips I decided to keep it neutral, but a tad darker than my normal lips. Before putting on lipstick though, I highly recommend applying lip liner in either the shade of your lipstick or close to the shade of your natural lips. I decided to go with a natural color, Toast, so that I could use it for various looks. After my lips were lined, I applied Color Sensational Lipcolor in the shade Totally Toffee.

For the outfit I wore a white button up shirt, brown vest, navy blue pants, and black boots. For my hair, I brushed it all to the left side and began twisting from the right to create a “crown”. I pulled out a couple pieces to frame my face and pinned it into place. And of course, no Han would be complete without a Leia.

Ok, so I may not be able to take Ninja with me to work to complete the outfit, but you get the idea!
