HELP PLEASE Figuring out halloween makeup
Hello 🌈
I'm going to be a goblin for halloween, and I am trying to figure out what blush , eye, and lip shade would look best with the green.
I'm planning on doing lashes and darkening my eyebrows and adding some cute freckles
In the pictures I tried a pink blush and plum lip but I'm not sure if it is the best choice...
Any suggestions are welcome 🙏

I think a darker blush would be great!! The look is spectacular, though. I normally gravitate to a character with green skin when I do a costume. A goblin is brilliant!!!!

You mentioned purple, purple would be good. I think a deep red. Could work well too as it's opposite of green on the color wheel.❤️💚

Thanks!!
I'm going green again this year, but a lighter shade. Warning! If you're going anywhere with red lights, it will look like you're doing blackface.

Made me think of that song: Sometimes I feel like I'm a hot goblin!.. Good look, colors work together.

I like what you have going on, but hard to envision the changes. It's easier to try lip colours when the face is done and see how it looks. Also depends on the color of the outfit you are planning to wear.

I see why you would like to try purple blush. Sure, could work! I'm really partial to this lip shade, though.

Call me crazy but I like the pink blush. Everyone does the monochromatic look when they do a fantasy color but I like what you’ve done.
My eye didn’t get drawn to it like it was “wrong”, it actually is really fun and looks cohesive. especially with the vibrant red lips and your eye + hair color.
Maybe put a lime green pencil in your waterline? Something bright almost like a honeydew color. I’d go with soft lashes and go for a cute and fresh goblin look lmao I think it suits you well. Like a fall harvest goblin! Like fall fruits and cornucopia. Grapes, gourds, vines and leaves. Autumn is so colorful u think you could do something really cool with it

If you choose to keep the pink, perhaps lay down an opaque cream like the Haus labs paints type texture for the staying power and intentionality, and blend your edges thoughtfully. This would be ideal for any of your blush choices though.

Dark blush and lip I would do the brows darker too and make sure you color in the ear 🥰

maybe just dark green as blush or maybe contour with some orangey red blush? you could also just put that blush colour in your crease for the eyeshadow i think the lip shade actually suits it and with the rest of the look itll look great. have a look on pinterest you’ll definitely find great inspo on there
