I have to confess, I’m absolutely a basic Halloween girlie and love all things Hocus Pocus. Even though I didn’t watch the movie until I was an adult, I still immediately fell in love with the film and I definitely think it’s the perfect Halloween movie.
This spooky season has been extra special because not only did we get a sequel — Hocus Pocus 2, which released on Disney+ on September 30, 2022 — but also ColourPop released yet another (and also honestly their best) Hocus Pocus makeup collection inspired by the sequel.
You may remember that last year I purchased ColourPop’s 2021 Witching Hour palette and used it to create 3 looks inspired by each of the Sanderson Sisters. I had so much fun playing with that palette and creating those looks that I wanted to do it again this year with the new All Hallow’s Eve palette from the Hocus Pocus 2 collection.
Even though it’s been 29 years since we last saw them, each Sanderson Sister still has her own unique color palette, personality, and iconic sense of style. I again wanted to lean into each of those elements when creating a makeup look for each witch.
Sarah Sanderson
I love Sarah’s dramatic eyeshadow and eyebrows, and I’m so glad they kept that look for her return in the sequel. I wanted to play with a cut crease and dramatic siren eye to replicate the look.
Products used:
Colourpop All Hallow’s Eve palette
Used the shade Observe in the crease, blended out with Witch Hunters and Havoc
Created a cut crease with concealer, set it, and used the shade 17th Century on top of that for some sparkle
Bésame Cosmetics Masterliner Universal Red Pencil
Bésame Cosmetics Red Velvet lipstick
Makeup by Mario Soft Pop Blush Stick in Dusty Rose
Mary Sanderson
Mary has a warm, earthy look with reds and oranges, and as the alchemist of the group her aesthetic is very down to earth and cozy. I created an autumnal and more natural look for her.
Products used:
Colourpop All Hallow’s Eve palette
Used the shade Doomed all over, blended out with Spell Book
Cometh To Us on lid with 29 Years on top of that for shimmer
Bésame Cosmetics Masterliner Universal Red Pencil
Bésame Cosmetics Red Velvet lipstick
KVD Everlasting Blush in Honeysuckle
Winifred Sanderson
The All Hallow’s Eve palette has some absolutely beautiful greens (which were sorely lacking from last year’s palette) so I took the opportunity to create a big and bold emerald green look inspired by our favorite boss witch Winnie.
Products used:
Colourpop All Hallow’s Eve palette
Used Cursed all over, blended with Spell Book in crease, Night of Sins in outer corner
Brew Another Batch was used on the lid with Candle is Alight over it for an extra pop of sparkle.
Wicked Ways was used on the lower lash line
Makeup Revolution X Soph lip kit in Toffee Drizzle
KVD Everlasting Blush in Foxglove
I also used ColourPop’s Find the Book shimmering body powder as highlighter on my cheeks and brow bone for all these looks. I’m so bummed it didn’t show up at all in the pictures because the sparkle is absolutely stunning. Hopefully this gif can at least give you some idea of how pretty it is.
I love playing with makeup and especially creating looks inspired by my favorite fictional characters and stories. It makes me so happy that fandom inspired palettes are becoming more common! I think this All Hallow’s Eve palette is one of my all-time favorites, every single look I’ve created with it has turned out amazing. I’m definitely going to be using this every day this Halloween season, and probably into the winter too honestly.

Let me know in the comments if there are other geeky makeup collections you want me to try or fandoms you want me to create looks for. Have a wonderfully spooky and safe Halloween!
