NYX Collaborated With DC Comics On Halloween Makeup Sets & You'll Want Them All
If you're anything like me, you choose your Halloween costume based on the makeup look. Last year, I was "La Muerte" — she's basically a female grim reaper from Mexican folklore — and I wore a skull face embellished with glitter and rhinestones. The year before, I was the Bride of Frankenstein and the cat eye was so dramatic, it extended almost to my hairline. If you've also been searching for costumes that focus on elaborate makeup, this brand new NYX Faces Of DC Collection is making it so much easier to transform into your favorite comic-book characters this Halloween.
The brand just released six new Halloween makeup sets — each one is inspired by a different DC character — packed with every item you'll need to recreate all of their iconic looks. The makeup kits range from $40 to $55 and include villains Harley Quinn, Joker, Poison Ivy, and superheros Wonder Woman, Catwoman, and Mera. And the best part is the NYX Faces Of DC sets are packed with full-size versions of the products you need to create the looks (none of which are specific to Halloween), which means you can use everything well past the 31st. Yes, please!
