new for halloween

There’s no excuse for ghouls and ghosts not to look their best this Halloween, following the launch of Technic’s new Hocus Pocus cosmetic gift sets.

Designed to make glamming it up for the bewitching hour easy peasy, the funky sets from Technic are available in four different colour combinations, with each set containing three bewitching make up products.  And, with products ranging from black lipstick and glitter nail varnish to purple mascara and lime green eye shimmers, there really is something for everyone!

Here are a few tips and effects that can be achieved with each bag!

In Bag 1

- gold mascara, red nail varnish and black eyeshimmer

Seduction is key with this bag of goodies. Heading to a Halloween party and want to knock ‘em dead with not only your costume but your make-up too?

This combination of gold glitter mascara, red nail varnish and black eye shimmer provides you with the staples for a truly glam look. Use the black eye shimmer to add depth and accentuate your eyes, also you can achieve a great liquid eyeliner finish by dipping a wet eyeliner brush into a small amount of eye shimmer, use this to then draw a line to frame your eyes. The gold glitter mascara looks great used on its own, but if its drama you’re looking for, apply the gold glitter on top of your usual mascara. Perfect red polished nails adds the finishing touches to this truly glamorous look.

Bag 2

- Blue mascara, silver glitter eyeliner and red lipstick 

Heading out in 80’s style this Halloween? Then this combination of blue glitter mascara and sliver glitter eyeliner will help you achieve that look and why not finish the look off with bright red lips! A true 80’s colour clash of warm and cold colours, shocking, eye-catching and most definitely 80’s glam! If you really want to go for it... Why not take the orange eye shimmer from bag combo 4 to add a clashing splash of colour to the cheeks!
(Tip: try applying the blue glitter mascara on top of a classic blue mascara, for 3-D lashes!)

Bag 3

- silver glitter eyeliner, black lipstick and green eyeshimmer

Give the classic ‘witches’ costume a twist this Halloween with this bag of complimenting cosmetics. Add a splash of glitter to the eyes with the silver glitter eyeliner. Heavy black lips will give you that mean looking edge and the green eye shimmer will help to compliment a witches sallow complexion. To add even more drama to the eyes take the black eye shimmer from bag combo 1 to add heavy dark circles around the eyes and gently blend with the green. (Tip: why not even try dabbing some of the green shimmer over your black lips??)

Bag 4

- Black nail varnish, Purple mascara and orange eyeshimmer.

The perfect bag of goodies for any wanna be pumpkin this Halloween.
Go crazy around the eyes with this orange eye shimmer, and why stop there? You can add this shimmer anywhere you want, great used to enhance the cheek bones of any aspiring pumpkin! Add the purple glitter mascara for that added Halloween mystic touch.
Finish off with black polished nails... And this pumpkin is ready to party!
(Tip: for the complete pumpkin make-over use the green eye shimmer from bag combo 3 to help emphasise your green steam and leaves and add depth to your make-up. Adding again to the eye and cheek bone areas, and why not even dab some green onto the lips on top of a clear lip gloss or balm.)
