Fun fact about me, I didn’t grow up a huge horror fan. I was always fascinated by horror movie, but I had no desire to watch them as a kid or in my teens. The reason why is easy to explain. I was simply scared of being scared. It wasn’t until I hit my early 20’s that I really started to get the confidence to watch them. And now at 35, I can’t get enough of them. Though I still have my limits (looking at you, Art The Clown).
But what does this have to do with makeup, I hear you ask? Well, firstly, look at the date (Happy Halloween, y’all!). Secondly, I wanted to show of some of my favourite horror themed eyeshadow palettes. All of these come from the incredible Glamlite Cosmetics. And all five of these palettes are centered around iconic horror movie villians. Let’s get to swatching.
*Em’s Note* At the time of writing, all of the palettes are available from the Glamlite website with the exception of the Ghost Face Lives Eyeshadow Palette. All are sold out over on Glam Raider.
GLAMLITE X CHUCKY CRAZY IN LOVE EYESHADOW PALETTE
FROM GLAMLITE WEBSITE – LEGENDS NEVER DIE! In honor of celebrating the 35th year anniversary of Chucky…Chucky and Tiffany have teamed up with GLAMLITE to create the most KILLER makeup collection in history! Inspired by the infamous killer doll love story – the Chucky x GLAMLITE Palette is all you need to create endless to die for makeup looks. It’s time to blend for your life and play…to the end!
FAVOURITE MOVIE – While I’ll always have a soft spot in my heart for the OG Child’s Play. I do have to give it to Bride of Chucky. It’s campy, it’s gory, and the casting of Jennifer Tilly as Tiffany was inspired! I also want to shout out the TV Series. Whose three season run was cruelly cut short a few months back. It’s still available on 9Now for free. I can’t recommend it enough.
GLAMLITE X GHOST FACE GHOST FACE LIVES EYESHADOW PALETTE
FROM GLAMLITE WEBSITE – Get ready for a groundbreaking moment in beauty history! The first ever officially licensed Ghost Face cosmetic collection is officially entering the beauty community. The line between fear and glamour has never been so beautifully blurred.
FAVOURITE MOVIE – Wes Craven will always be my King of Horror, so I have to give it to the first one. But the two recent ones, Scream 2022 and Screan VI are also a ton of fun. Shame that the Scream franchise is ending at six, though.
GLAMLITE X A NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST DREAM MASTER EYESHADOW PALETTE
FROM GLAMLITE WEBSITE – Introducing A Nightmare on Elm Street “Dream Master” Palette. This palette features 10 highly pigmented shades, including rich maroons, sultry burgundies, haunting grays, and a deep black, perfect for creating both bold and subtle looks. Each shade is embossed with Freddy’s iconic claw marks, adding a unique slashing touch to your makeup routine. Packaged in a lenticular motion that makes you ‘Never sleep again’
FAVOURITE MOVIE – See below
GLAMLITE X A NIGHTMARE ON ELM ST FREDDY KRUGER EYESHADOW PALETTE
FROM GLAMLITE WEBSITE – Step into Freddy Krueger’s nightmare. Introducing our limited edition Nightmare on Elm Street x Glamlite ‘Freddy Krueger’ Palette! This 10-shade palette boasts velvety mattes and ultra duo chrome shimmers that will have you creating killer eye looks. Stamped with Freddy’s iconic claw marks and gashes, it’s a tribute to the Springwood slasher himself. The lenticular motion adds an extra layer of terror as the graphics shift to unveil his infamous bladed glove.
FAVOURITE MOVIE – Oooh, see, Elm St is tough because there are so many of them (nine if you count Freddy Vs. Jason and the remake). And on balance, more are good than they are bad. Dream Warriors will always have my favourite kill scene (the ‘puppet strings’ fucked me up for days). But I love the inventiveness of New Nightmare. I’m a sucker for anything meta.
GLAMLITE X FRIDAY THE 13th CAMP CRYSTAL LAKE EYESHADOW PALETTE
FROM GLAMLITE WEBSITE – Dare to dive into the shadows of Camp Crystal Lake? Introducing the Friday the 13th x Glamlite “Camp Crystal Lake” Palette 🪓 Includes 15 ULTRA pigmented mattes and duo chrome shades imprinted with Jason inspired stamps. Every palette arrives in a LIMITED EDITION collector’s VHS box!
FAVOURITE MOVIE – On the flipside, there are way more bad Jason movies than there are good ones. So, when I say that Jason X is my favourite, please know that I acknowledge that the movie is garbage. But it’s also extremely fun garbage.
And that is a wrap on my collection! I am aware that Glamlite has since released a few more horror collabs. But at the time of writing, only the Chucky Good Guy’s collection is available at Glam Raider. So, guess I’ll have to do this again next year! Have a fun and safe Halloween. And watch something scary!
Cheers and love
Emily xo
