How to use your regular makeup for Halloween

October 29, 2018

Every year I say I’m gonna do something for Halloween but it never happens. Growing up in the Caribbean we never trick or treated or dressed up or anything, so it’s just not in me. Also I think it’s too close to my birthday, so I’m always more focused on what I’ll do for my bday!
