Fall is all about darker color palettes of burgundies, plum purples, dark blues, and blacks. The grunge look incorporates these darker colors into a versatile look. Yes, that’s right. The grunge look is perfect for Halloween, but also great for holiday parties and even everyday wear.

Use a matte foundation or concealer to even out your complexion.

STEP 2: Apply setting powder.
Apply setting powder all over the face to fix impurities.

Apply black eyeliner to the top and bottom water lines. Use a pencil for a more undone look.
