HOW TO: Emoji Halloween makeup tutorial
You can’t go wrong with a good ol’ bit of face paint on Halloween, especially when kids are involved. So we asked makeup artist Roseanna Velin to show you how to create this awesome emoji look at home. It’s perfect for any little’ uns you might be planning to take trick-or-treating and – let’s be honest – who doesn’t love a good emoji?
1. Emoji basics

7. Let’s go bolder

Use an orange eyeshadow from the Makeup Revolution Palette Pro HD Total Shimmer 35 in Direction to outline the face. This will complete the look and make it appear more emoji-esque!
