“Darkness falls across the land, The midnight hour is close at hand, Creatures crawl in search of bloodTo terrorize y’all’s neighborhood…”
— Vincent Price / MJ's "thriller"

On Thursday October 19th, NYC Cosmetics held their annual Halloween Bash in Toronto and did it not disappoint. I was there to curate the music and set the tone for a scary night as the most fabulous ghosts, goblins, witches and demons gathered to party.

The iconic event space was transformed into a galaxy of roses and separated into different zones where the guests could explore and take the most iconic photos of their costumes and makeup looks.

  • Rihanna - Disturbia
