Halloween-lovers, today is your day: you can go all out in flesh-rotting zombie makeup (or maybe try some of these pretty halloween makeup looks instead), you can eat candy and carve pumpkins. We at Fashionising.com won’t be doing much of the pumpkin carving, but as for the costume part – well, we at least have time to admire some Halloween-themed vintage pinups. After the break,…

Wicked costumes, free candy, wild parties and a whole lot of fun. With Halloween rapidly approaching, that’s pretty much what everyone is thinking these days.

We’re not entirely sure who Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, in lingerie and a Dello Russo sized serving of accessories, was dressed up as – but she couldn’t go unnoticed. Natasha Poly, meanwhile, makes for…

Witches, hornets, magpies and the living incarnation of a casino. With today’s date being October 31st, sharing these vintage costume illustrations from 1887 was somewhat irresistible.

With Halloween upon us, we’re caught up in the costumed side of horror. Fake blood trickling from the corners of mouths that sport plastic vampire teeth, ghostly apparitions made from white sheets (and plenty of imagination), invasions of makeup-covered zombies. But, to paraphrase Edgar Allan Poe, terror is not of any stories, but of the soul. Sometimes the greatest horrors are not supernatural, but the…

Whether you’re considering spending Halloween dressed up as Twiggy, or if you just want an excuse to delve into your vinyl collection and pump up some Stones – there’s nothing quite like a mod 1960s style makeup look to change your whole mood. And so that’s what we’re rounding up today. Big lashes, graphic lines, and plenty of mascara: watch the videos after the break…
