Maybe it's the fact that I am truly obsessed with Halloween, but when McKay didn't like Cassie's Alabama Worley from True Romance costume that she worked so hard on, my heart sank into my stomach — especially because the look is straight fire. While this makeup probably should have been reserved for a night out rather than a day at the office, I needed to try to replicate it. This one took a good 40 minutes but was totally worth it. I drew out the shape of the shadow in a blue eyeliner and filled it in with the Flower Beauty Pop Fanatic Eye Pigment in Splash (£7) using a flat eye shadow brush. I darkened up the edges of the look with Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil in Roxy (£16) and used the brand's Heavy Metal Glitter Gel in Soul Love (£17) to pack on the shine. I finished with a thin application of red gloss, some black liner, and false lashes.
This look was, by far, the most outside my comfort zone. For one thing, glitter can be a little itchy and isn't exactly something that can fly under the radar. While many of my coworkers did enjoy this look, my boyfriend literally said, "Bleh," when he saw me, so it was not a universal hit. As for myself, I thought this look was cool, but it made me a little uncomfortable (I had to keep reminding myself that my makeup was not going to be the weirdest thing anyone in New York City saw that day) and probably won't be a look I repeat.
