How to Create a macabre and beautiful dark fairy Halloween makeup look

Woman with dramatic makeup, blue eyes, and intricate facial designs.

Fairy costumes are as common as witch costumes or vampire costumes (especially now with the "Twilight" fever) for Halloween. But dark fairies are a whole other category altogether. Rather than the cute pink frills, golden hair, and pixie dust you imagine your typical Disney fairy to have, the dark fairy in this makeup tutorial is scary, though still beautiful.

Upturned eyebrows that end in curvalinear floral patterns, embroidered cheekbones, and the mother of all cat eyes make this Halloween getup the perfect combination of scary and pretty. To learn how to do it, check out this video.
