According to DermNet NZ, fragrances and preservatives such as parabens are common causes of irritation and allergic reactions. Instead, try mineral eyeliners and non-comedogenic foundations that let your skin breathe and stay balanced through the night.

Metallic makeup can look stunning, but it’s important to choose wisely. Some body paints and pigments contain nickel or chromium, both common allergens that may trigger irritation or rashes in sensitive skin.
The Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) reminds consumers to check cosmetic ingredients and avoid products with unsafe metal content.
To achieve a safe, radiant glow:
- Choose water-based or mineral formulas, gentle alternatives that deliver shimmer without clogging pores.
- Avoid metallic paints with nickel or chromium, known to cause contact allergies.
- Using soft brushes or sponges reduces friction and prevents micro-irritation.
- Hydrating and priming first ensures smooth, even application and protects your skin barrier.
Blys artists often use high-quality mineral pigments and skin-tested products, so you can enjoy a celestial look that’s as safe as it is stunning. They’ll bring the shimmer to your door perfect for Halloween parties or themed events.
After the fun, remove makeup gently with a mild cleanser, then apply a soothing moisturizer to restore hydration.
4. The Classic Witch Reimagined
The witch look doesn’t have to mean thick green paint or itchy layers that leave your skin red the next day. The Classic Witch Reimagined brings a softer, more elegant version—think sheer green tints, mauve shadows, and a subtle contour that adds depth without discomfort.
It’s spooky, sophisticated, and perfect for sensitive skin.
To keep this look safe and breathable:
- Use dermatologist-tested cream formulas: Gentler and easier to blend than oil-based paints.
- Avoid harsh costume makeup: The RACGP notes that heavy cosmetic chemicals and synthetic dyes can trigger irritation in sensitive skin.
- Opt for fragrance-free products: Reduces the risk of allergic reactions, as supported by AIHW research on common irritants.
- Do a patch test: Apply a small amount first to check for redness or stinging.
For effortless results, let a Blys makeup artist create your witchy glam using high-quality, hypoallergenic products. They’ll achieve the drama you want while keeping your skin calm and nourished.
