Frightfully Glam Tips for Eye-Safe Halloween Makeup

This Halloween, let your eyes tell the story — with beauty that’s wickedly safe.

Whether your Halloween look is glamorous or ghoulish, the real horror story is what unsafe makeup practices can do to your eyes. Bloodshot, inflamed, or infected eyes are never a good costume. That’s why we’ve created a quick checklist to keep your (and your kids’) eyes healthy this Halloween.

🫧🧴 Prep like a Pro

• Start with a clean canvas using our Gentle Gel Cleanser, followed by hydrating Radiance Serum, then slay your eye makeup—because even ghoulish artists know a dirty canvas is a no-go! 👻

🧙🏻♀️ Fresh is Best

• Use theater- or professional-grade makeup, and always fresh. Last year’s zombie foundation? Time to bury it.

• Never share makeup, brushes, or sponges — that’s an open invitation to creepy-crawlies like bacteria and Demodex mites.🕷️

• Children should each have their own products or applicators.

👁️ Lash Logic

• Dramatic falsies may scream “Morticia,” but they’re a nightmare for sensitive eyes.

• Lash extensions funnel air across the ocular surface, worsening dryness.

• Adhesives often contain formaldehyde and nasty chemicals that irritate corneal nerves and damage meibomian glands.

When it comes to lashes, less scary is more safe.

🎨 Costume Contacts: Handle with Care

• Only use colored or costume lenses fitted by an eye care professional.

• Never buy lenses online, from Halloween stores, or beauty counters — these can cause infections and even permanent vision loss.

• Avoid reusing old lenses or sharing with friends.

• Glitter, makeup, and debris can get trapped under lenses, scratching your cornea — lubricating eye drops can rinse away particles.

✒️ Spooky Liner Habits to Avoid

• No tightlining or waterlining! Applying eyeliner to the lash margins seals off meibomian glands — essential for lubrication and protection.

• This “cool goth look” may feel edgy, but it drowns your oil glands in chemicals and accelerates dry eyes.

🛁 Remove Before You Rest

• Always remove costume makeup before collapsing into bed — adults and kids alike.

• Take out costume contact lenses before sleep.

• Avoid removers with harsh preservatives or fragrances.

• Teach children to be gentle — soap scrubbing around the eyes is a no-go.

🧛♀️ Avoid Vampire Eyes

Vampires may be allergic to daylight, but your eyes shouldn’t burn the day after Halloween. Remind your ghouls and goblins that just because products are easy to buy doesn’t mean they’re safe for use near the eyes.

If redness, irritation, or pain persists after the festivities, seek care from an eye care professional.

🎃 Final Treat (Not Trick)

Halloween is the perfect time to teach safe makeup habits. With a little caution, you can keep the scares in your costume — not in your eyes.

Stay spooky, stay safe, and let your eyes tell your story.
