1. Vampire Makeup

Sink your teeth into this classic Halloween look. Achieve vampire allure with pale skin, dramatic gold, red or dark eyes, and blood-red lips. Don't forget those signature fangs for an authentic touch.

📌 Vampires' eyes change color based on their diet: human blood turns them red, and animal blood makes them gold. To get natural vampire eyes, consider TTDeye's Twilight Vampire Red or Iris Gold-Brown lenses. For a more menacing look, go for Blind Black contacts, ideal for a thirsty vampire.

2. Wolf Makeup

Transform into a mystical creature of the night with wolf makeup. Blend earthy tones to create a furry effect and accentuate your eyes for that wild, captivating gaze.
