NYX Professional Makeup gets ready for Halloween with 'Wonderland After Dark'

NYX Professional Makeup has teamed up with the makeup artist Ve Neill to dream up some nightmarish beauty looks, just in time for Halloween.

The color cosmetics brand has joined forces with the creative to launch ‘Wonderland After Dark,' a twist on beauty looks inspired by the classic tale of "Alice In Wonderland." Beauty fans too scared to commit upfront will be able to test out the terrifying looks virtually from October 1, via the NYX Professional Makeup website.

Neill -- who is known for her work on movies such as "A Star is Born," "Hunger Games" and "Beetlejuice" -- has come up with six different looks, each one inspired by a different character from the story and accompanied by an exclusive digital tutorial and a specific, shoppable makeup bundle. Each character interpretation includes the new NYX Professional Makeup ‘Glow-On Lip Gloss,' a blacklight-activated hue that transforms into a high-shine, neon pigment. The looks include a joker called ‘Ace & Spade,' a zombie called ‘Alex' and a twisted rabbit called ‘Bunni.' A vampire titled ‘The Queen,' a skull called ‘ Topsy-Turvy' and a psychedelic feline called ‘Kitty Kat' complete the lineup.
