#1 Tip for Halloween Makeup
While we always encourage our clients to think of their makeup as an extension of their skincare. Try to select natural products whenever possible when putting together your Halloween look and never, ever go to bed with your makeup still on! This holds especially true for the sensitive skin of children. Cleansing properly at the end of the evening will give your skin the rest and rejuvenation it needs–just like the rest of you after a fun night out!
