You can add a large dramatic collar or statement cap, a dramatic smokey eye, and an intense dark berry lip for Halloween. Don't forget blood-red gemstone accessory, crushed velvet texture, or some kind of dramatic longer-length hair added to the crowning layer and the goth vampire/sensual effect will emerge.

Every Halloween personality that you try represents how easy it is to mix it up and wear the little black number and end up looking and feeling as fabulous as ever - no matter which way you receive your Halloween personality.
