Now for the makeup! TikTok makeup expert @britneykale dug deep into internet archives to unearth exactly how Elvira works her makeup magic, and her video did not disappoint. We half-expected Elvira to wear face paint usually left for theater productions or Halloween, which is sort of true: she told Refinery29 that she strictly used theatrical makeup for years. However, nowadays, the Hollywood host, actress, and model surprisingly wears quite traditional makeup brands — even the "Mistress of the Dark" is just like us (we can dream!).
When it comes to her foundation, Elvira has very specific favorites. As per @britneykale, the "Elvira's Haunted Hills" star loves Makeup Forever's Ultra HD Foundation ($43), and brushes on some white setting powder on top for her signature pale, vampire-esque look. When it comes to finding the right shade, the 70-year-old told Elle that she always goes for pink undertones. She described how a makeup artist from "The Wizard of Oz" once told her, "you must not go super white because it will make your teeth look yellow." Saying white makeup always makes "teeth look horrible," it's definitely an interesting trick to keep in mind!
For blush, @britneykale says Elvira is all about Cinema Secrets Ultimate Blush in Berry ($14), while the actress told Elle she contours her cheekbones with La Femme Powder Blush ($5.90) in a darker shade. She told the outlet, "they seem to do the trick." As simple as pie (made from a witch or ghost, of course).
