Get the Hollywood glam look this Hallowe’en
“The Vintage Vamp” created for modern Lauren Bacalls, is one of celebrity makeup artist Charlotte Tilbury’s signature looks. She creates a flawless base with her blemish-blurring Wonderglow Instant Soft-Focus Beauty Flash, €48, and Light Wonder Youth-Boosting Foundation, €36. After curling the lashes, she washes the Prime shade from The Vintage Vamp Luxury Palette, €48, all over the lid, smudging it into corners and beneath the eyes. She uses the palette’s Enhance shadow to contour and line the eyes before adding a line of kohl with a feline flick. For sultry lips, she dabs K.I.S.S.I.N.G lipstick in Night Crimson, €30, on with a brush, lines the lips and applies a second coat.

Ms Shields re-establishes herself as a beauty icon this month with the launch of her first MAC makeup collection.

Lips slicked with Cremesheen Lipstick in Excite add a pop of colour.
Spots can really wreck your pre-party buzz. Tria Skin Perfecting Blue Light, €295, penetrates deep within the skin to eliminate acne-causing bacteria. Six minutes of exposure a day delivers enough light to clear breakouts fast. Clinical trials found 70 per cent reduction in acne after a fortnight, but the tool can also be used long-term to prevent future flare-ups. The gadget should be glided over the face for three minutes after cleansing in the morning and evening. Tria does not emit a UV light, so skin is not damaged or dried out. Unlike moisture-stripping cleansers, spot gels and potentially-irritating benzoyl peroxide creams, the device can be uses daily on any skin-type.

Scott Barnes, the celebrity artist who taught the Kardashians to contour, has created Body Bling, €36.39 www.feelunique.com , a fabulous corporal shimmer that is kind to skin.

Scott’s formula imparts a natural bronze and non-glittery illumination that minimises flaws. Strategic applications enhance cleavage and slim limbs. The platinum shade is best for fair-skinned ladies seeking a sun-kissed glow but darker skin-tones can go for gold.
