Update: I created 3 more looks inspired by the Sanderson Sisters in Hocus Pocus 2 using the 2022 ColourPop collection inspired by the movie. You can see those looks and read the new blog here.

When I first saw Colourpop’s new 2021 Hocus Pocus makeup collection, I was obsessed. Oddly enough, cosmetic brands still don’t put out many Halloween inspired collections, so I was so excited about this. I definitely bought several of the items and made it a personal challenge to myself to come up with as many spooky looks as I could this Halloween season.

Naturally, I also HAD to come up with a series of looks inspired by each of the Sanderson sisters using the Witching Hour palette. It was literally designed for this kind of challenge!

Each sister has her own unique color palette, personality, and style so I really wanted to lean into each of those elements when creating a look for each witch.

Mary, Winifred, and Sarah Sanderson thriving on Halloween night, just like me.

I played with Sarah’s color palette of pinks and purples with a bit of orange, while also creating a smokey eye shape similar to the look she has herself. With the added red lip like hers and these super dramatic lashes, “boys will love me!”

Mary Sanderson

Mary has a pretty monochromatic color scheme of reds and oranges so I went with this blown out look with a hint of shimmer for added dimension. I also went with a red lip like hers. Smell that? “I smell children!”

Winifred Sanderson

Alyssa wearing a teal, orange, and purple eyeshadow look with pink lipstick

Finally for our boss witch Winnie, I wanted to create a dramatic look that reflected her regal robes and larger than life personality. What do you think, does this look put a spell on you?

I absolutely love creating makeup looks inspired by fictional characters and stories, so this challenge was so much fun and really put me in the Halloween spirit!
