'THE COUNTESS' HALLOWEEN MAKEUP

The Countess, portrayed by Lady Gaga in America Horror Story, captivates the hearts of unwary victims she lures to the peculiar depths of the Hotel Cortez - her home amongst the shadows, sustaining herself with a healthy diet of blood and fashion. The 112 year-old vampiric creature is as glamorous as she is deadly, using her very chic and very sharp chain mail glove to kill, leaving her victims drained. ”

HOW TO GET THE LOOK

Step 1

Prep the skin by massaging Studio Radiance Primer into the skin.

Step 2

Apply Studio Fix Fluid Foundation all over and highlight with concealer in required areas with a 170s Brush for full, smooth coverage.

Step 3

Set foundation and concealer with Studio Fix Powder plus foundation by pressing it into the skin with a 129s Powder Brush for an ultra-matte finish.

Step 4

Contour hollows of cheeks and contour forehead, nose and jaw to your desire with the Studio Shape & Sculpt Contour Palette.

Step 5

Using the same palette, create an elongated, smokey cat-eye shape on the eyes to replicate the classic countess death glare. Bring it under the lower lash line also.

Step 6

Press in ‘nylon’ for a shimmery cut-crease effect on the lid and add further dimension using ‘carbon’ eyeshadow, Eye Kohl eyeliner in Feline and finally Macstack Mascara.

Step 7

Mix MACSTACK Legit Lift Lash Primer with Gesso eyeshadow and brush through eyebrows with a mascara wand to create a bleached brow effect.

Step 8

Line lips with Brick, fill in with ‘Ruby Woo’ Lipstick and finish with Ruby Woo Lipglass.

Add stage blood for extra horror!
