Try something a little different this year and go for a pastel space girl with a 60s twist. Draw on a bold block of colour, pair with a pop of pink blush and a defined dark lip to contrast all those gentle hues – who said you can’t fight alien crime and look good.
Glittery Gholu

Last but not least, the all time classic – the black cat. Everyone has done a last minute cat eyeliner and a few whiskers before heading to a party, and although some call it basic, it doesn’t have to be. Change it up by smoking out that eye, pop in some contacts and keep warm by wearing all the fur you have. Black house cat is cool but wild cat of the jungle is even better.
