Surprisingly, one of the top searched Halloween makeup looks on Pinterest in Australia for 2017 is galaxy makeup. While it’s not a makeup look that has been on our radar previously, we can see why the mystical and feminine makeup has surged in popularity – it’s just so pretty!

The second top Halloween makeup look in Australia this year is that of a deer. And not just any deer, it’s got to be a cute one!
