Very, very scary. Photo, wnwbeauty.com
I am not a "Halloween Person." I know people who are, though. They seem like perfectly reasonable adults in most situations, but you never really know about someone until you are around them in late October.
It starts with little remarks like " Oh, I just looooove Halloween", which seems fine; lots of folks do, no big deal. But then, soon your mild-mannered officemate starts talking more and more about what his costume is going to be, and you come to understand that he is more excited about pretending to be one of the monsters from Hellraiser than he is about his date for the party.
Even if I weren't temporarily laid up, I would still be one of those people who scrambles around at the last minute trying to throw something together, and only if I absolutely have to dress up to avoid being a party pooper. Ergo, I refuse to put much effort into the whole thing, and scour the bins of icky Halloween cosmetics at the drustore at four p.m.on October 31st.
There is no reason to spend much money at all. Plus, if you've waited until today to address the issue, you are forced to be creative as you root around in the abused and mangled bins in the seasonal-goods section at Walgreen's.
Wet'nWild, while not necessarily a brand I would recommend for daily wear, makes a great black lipstick, and the reds have great pigment as well. Their "Fantasy Collection" offers relatively heavy-duty formulas for face and body, as well as kick-ass false eyelashes that look like peacock feathers. Add long, fake black fingernails, loads of black eyeliner and no other makeup, and boom, I look scary as all get out.
As you go forth into the dark unknown tonight, Reader, beware the Halloween People. They are everywhere.
