The NYX SFX Matte Face & Body Paints have launched with Halloween in mind, and did you know that NYX is the official makeup partner of Cirque du Soleil? I didn’t, but it’s advertised on their website, and these paints are supposedly being used within the production.
If you watch a lot of beauty TikTok videos, there are a lot of transformation videos, so I reckon the NYX SFX Matte Face & Body Paints will be popular on TikTok, for creating lots of cool makeup looks in the run-up to Halloween.
