Why are there so many Halloween makeup collections?
We know during the holiday season, there are lots of new launches and goodies coming out for gifting and perhaps maybe treating ourselves. But why do we see so many makeup collections come out during Halloween?
For starters, Halloween is a great time of year to experiment with fun colors, bring out the glitter and try new looks. Whether for a costume or just to get into the spooky spirit, experimenting with Halloween makeup lets you express your creativity and artistic skills.
Further, spooky season creates an opportunity for spooky TV shows, such as Stranger Things, to collaborate with the beauty world. This brings about festive palettes and products that coordinate with the series. Halloween makeup collections are typically limited edition, so if you want these fun palettes and special releases, you have to act fast.
