One nice thing about Halloween is that the little tiny drag queen that lives in all of us can come out to play! I’ve long been fascinated with exotic makeup, runway makeup, i.e., drag queen makeup.
What better time of year than Halloween to indulge in the wonderful world of black nail polish, huge fake eyelashes, bold color choices, glossy lipsticks and any other normal fashion no-no?
I find myself teetering over by the costume aisle and sighing at all the wonderful vampire hues of red that I could paint my nails. Don’t get me started on the shelf of different colored glitter. What normally is saved for classroom art projects is quickly bottled at Halloween time and is then marketed as fluff for your face!
And I couldn’t be happier. 
This year I am being a cat, my mom is being a “grandma kitty” and our 5-year-old is also being a cat. Our 4 babies, age 13 months, are being dressed up as mice. I plan on fully indulging in the cattness of my costume. I will wear black nailpolish and since my cat ears are bright neon yellow and dark brown, I purchased bright neon yellow eyeshadow to match.
Sadly, I realize that I will probably just use the eyeshadow once or recycle it somehow into next year’s costume, but having a night to wear bold colors and play with all the exaggerated levels of makeup is just about as much fun as going door to door for free candy. Meow!
