Color Me Beautiful popularized color analysis with Color Me Beautiful: Discover Your Natural Beauty Through Color and continued to refine the science of color through six additional books, including the Color Me Beautiful Makeup Book. Color Me Beautiful’s Seasonal Boutiques allow you to shop within your specific palette to make looking your best easier than ever! Look #1: Doe-Eyed Deer Soft, sweet, and effortlessly charming, the deer look is the perfect mix of whimsical and wearable. This Halloween trend leans into warm neutrals, soft contouring, and big, bright eyes for a woodland-inspired glam that flatters almost every face shape. Think of it as the cottagecore cousin of classic Halloween makeup. Start with a radiant, even base that enhances your natural undertones. Sculpt the cheeks with a gentle bronzer to create that signature doe-like shape, then highlight the high points of your face (cheekbones, brow bone, and tip of the nose) for a natural, dewy glow. Add a few white “freckles” across the bridge of the nose for that storybook finish, and don’t forget the lashes (long and fluttery is the goal). Color Me Beautiful Tips by Season ·      Spring: Opt for golden bronzers, peachy blush, and creamy ivory highlights. A soft coral lip keeps the look fresh and glowing. ·      Summer: Go for rose-beige tones with a cool taupe contour. Try a soft pink blush and a muted rose lip for balance. ·      Autumn: Warm, earthy hues are your best friend: bronze, caramel, and copper shadows paired with a rich amber highlight to make your deer glow in candlelight. ·      Winter: Create contrast with a cool mocha contour and icy pearl highlight. Keep your lips nude or mauve for a sleek, modern edge. Style It Pair your makeup with loose waves, a cozy brown or cream sweater, and simple deer ears for an instantly recognizable yet elevated look. It’s natural beauty with a touch of forest fantasy, a Halloween classic that still feels right on trend. Recommended Products Color Artist 9pc. Luminary Palette in Toasted Color Pro Single Eyeshadow in Caramel Cream & Malted Milk Waterproof Automatic Eye Pencil in Dark Chocolate Color Renew Lipstick in Brown Sugar Look #2: Elphaba & Glinda Double the drama, double the fun. Whether you’re serving emerald envy as Elphaba or bubblegum radiance as Glinda, these “Wicked”-inspired makeup looks bring Broadway magic to your Halloween night. For Elphaba, start with a flawless, even green base. You can mix a bit of green pigment into your foundation to get a wearable witch hue. Add dramatic winged liner, voluminous lashes, and bold brows to balance the color. A touch of shimmer across the lids gives her signature spellbound glow. If an entirely green base feels too intimidating, a fun green eye look can be just as satisfying! For Glinda, think radiant skin, soft shimmer, and layers of pink and peach. Add sparkle to the inner corners of the eyes, use a highlighter on the cheekbones, and finish with a glossy, bubblegum lip for that “good witch” gleam. Color Me Beautiful Tips by Season ·      Spring: For Glinda, stick to warm pinks, peaches, and champagne tones. If you’re Elphaba, go for a warmer olive green rather than a deep forest to stay in harmony. ·      Summer: Cool lilacs, pink quartz, and soft greens will feel balanced on your cool undertones. ·      Autumn: Elphaba shines in deep moss and gold-green shades; Glinda glows in soft coral-pinks with warm highlights. ·      Winter: Amp up contrast: icy green, silver shimmer, and bold fuchsia lips for Glinda; rich emerald or teal with jet-black liner for Elphaba. Style It Elphaba’s structured hats and black silhouettes contrast perfectly with Glinda’s glittering gowns and curls. Choose your side or go half-and-half for a fun dual look!

Luminary Palette in Toasted Color Pro Single Eyeshadow in Sunlit Sage or Tuscany Palm Color Pro Single Eyeshadow in Rose Quartz or Cotton Candy Color Pro Blush in Soft Rose Color Renew Lipstick in Dusty Rose Look #3: Vampire (Inspired by Sinners) Modern, moody, and dripping with allure, this year’s vampire look draws inspiration from Sinners, blending gothic elegance with cinematic edge. The focus is on luminous skin contrasted by dark, dramatic features. Start with a flawless porcelain base, sculpt your face with cool-toned contour, and add a deep berry or blood-red lip. Smoky eyes with burgundy or plum shadows add dimension and danger. Finish with a subtle highlight on the cheekbones for that moonlit glow. Color Me Beautiful Tips by Season ·      Spring: Choose warm reds like cherry or coral-blood for lips; keep the eyes soft with rose-brown tones. ·      Summer: Opt for cool plums, mauves, and wine shades — sultry but not too heavy. ·      Autumn: Deep brick reds and copper shadows bring warmth and depth — perfect for that smoldering, vintage vampire vibe. ·      Winter: Go full drama — true red or blackened cherry lips, silver highlights, and sharp contours for a cinematic finish. Style It Sleek hair, lace details, or a dramatic collar make this look both timeless and trend-conscious: gothic glamour meets runway energy.

Whether you go classic comic book or the moody modern version, this makeup celebrates creative contrast. Create a pale base, then paint bold geometric shapes: red smile, blue eyes, exaggerated brows. To make it chic and flattering, soften the edges and choose hues that echo your seasonal palette. Color Me Beautiful Tips by Season ·      Spring: Go for warmer versions like coral red lips and turquoise blue accents to keep the look vibrant but not harsh. ·      Summer: Muted tones like rose-red and dusty blue work best; smudge the shapes for a painterly finish. ·      Autumn: Choose deep, rustic versions — brick red, teal, and mustard-yellow tones to add sophistication. ·      Winter: High contrast all the way — crisp white base, true red mouth, and cobalt-blue eyes. Style It Pair your makeup with slicked-back hair or a colorful wig, a statement blazer, and confidence. The Joker is all about creative rebellion — your face is the canvas. Recommended Products Color Pro Single Eyeshadow in Royal Velvet or Silver Lilac Color Renew Lipstick in Red Carpet Waterproof Automatic Eye Pencil in Black Magic Crown Jewels Shimmer Liquid Eye Shadow in Jade Look #5: Graphic Eyeliner The trend that’s taking over social feeds: graphic eyeliner gets a spooky twist with web and spider designs. This look is perfect for makeup minimalists who want something eye-catching without full-face costume makeup. Use a jet-black liquid liner to draw delicate web patterns from the outer corner of the eyes or along the crease. Add a touch of shimmer in the center lid for contrast. For bolder looks, tiny gems “dew drops” or a minimalist spider detail can make the look feel high-fashion rather than costume-y. Color Me Beautiful Tips by Season ·      Spring: Use warm black or chocolate-brown liner; add golden shimmer for softness. ·      Summer: Cool black with silver highlight or a touch of lavender shimmer. ·      Autumn: Deep espresso liner with copper or bronze accents for earthy drama. ·      Winter: Crisp black with icy silver or holographic touches for a futuristic feel. Style It Pair this look with slick hair, monochrome outfits, or metallic accents. It’s moody, modern, and ideal for anyone who wants to be festive and fashion-forward. Recommended Products Waterproof Automatic Eye Pencil in Black Magic Look #6: Violet Beauregarde (Willy Wonka) Bold, playful, and a little over the top just like Violet herself. This Willy Wonka-inspired makeup look is all about embracing juicy purples, glossy textures, and a touch of whimsy. Think candy-colored glamour with a polished twist, less “turned into a blueberry,” more “editorial violet fantasy.” Start with a flawless satin base, keeping the skin hydrated and luminous. Play up the eyes with lilac, amethyst, or indigo shadows, blending softly toward the brow bone. A pop of shimmer in the inner corners keeps the look youthful. Add a cool-toned blush across the cheeks for that “sweet treat” glow and finish with a berry lip — glossy for playfulness, matte for high drama. If you want to nod to Violet’s iconic transformation moment, a sheer wash of blue or violet highlighter on the nose and lips adds a fun, otherworldly touch while staying totally chic. Color Me Beautiful Tips by Season ·      Spring: Choose warmer purples like orchid and pink-violet; keep the lips light with a raspberry gloss. ·      Summer: Soft lavenders and mauves flatter cool undertones beautifully — pair with a rose-pink blush and cool berry lip. ·      Autumn: Go for rich plum and eggplant tones; add golden shimmer or a bronzed highlight to balance the look’s depth. ·      Winter: Amp up the contrast with electric violet lids, icy highlight, and a bold blackberry lip for that show-stopping edge. Style It Pair your makeup with glossy hair, a retro headband, or a cobalt jacket to channel Violet’s signature style. The result? A candy-coated look that’s sweet, sassy, and totally camera-ready — Halloween with a pop-star twist.  Recommended Products Color Pro Single Eyeshadow in Royal Velvet or Navy Nightfall Color Artist 9pc.
