Ah Halloween, that very American tradition that us Aussies have been opening our hearts to in recent times (mainly because it involves eating lollies).

If you’re not someone who wants to deck yourself in zombie makeup from head to toe, we’ve got the tutorial that allows you to get involved with minimal effort.

The clever team at Napoleon Perdis helped us to master a ‘day to nightmare’ look that can build on your existing face of makeup. So it’s perfect if you’re heading to a party straight after work.

The final look.

The beauty of it is that you only really needtwoproducts - black eyeliner (The Napoleon Perdis team used this highly pigmented liner in Onyx Factor, $30) and red lipstick (we used this Mattetastic option in Veronica, $38) - both staples in the beauty cupboards of most women.

Watch and learn.
