Top 5 Halloween Makeup Looks You Can Create at Home
Halloween is just around the corner, and there’s no need to stress about finding the perfect costume. With the right makeup products, you can create stunning looks right at home! Whether you’re aiming for something spooky, glamorous, or creative, here are five Halloween makeup looks you can easily recreate with products from our beauty shop.
1. Classic Vampire Glam
Transform into a timeless creature of the night with a sultry and glamorous vampire look. Start with a foundation that’s a shade lighter than your natural skin tone to give your face a pale, undead glow. Heavily contour your cheekbones and jawline to create a sharp, chiseled appearance, adding to the vampiric effect.
For the eyes, go bold with a smoky look using dark black and burgundy eyeshadow. Extend the eyeshadow underneath your eyes for that "I haven’t slept in 500 years" vibe. A fierce black eyeliner wing will add drama, while long, voluminous lashes or falsies will complete the eye look. Finish off with a deep red or black lipstick for the perfect vampire pout, and add a subtle trickle of “blood” at the corner of your mouth with your lipstick or lip liner.
What You’ll Need:
- Light foundation
- Dark eyeshadows (black, burgundy)
- Black eyeliner
- Deep red or black lipstick
- Contour powder
2. Glam Skeleton
Why go for a basic skeleton look when you can make it glamorous? To create a glam skeleton, start by contouring your face with a cool-toned contour powder or eyeshadow, focusing on hollowing out your cheekbones, temples, and jawline. This will create the illusion of a skeletal structure without needing face paint.
For the eyes, go dark with black eyeshadow, smudging it around your lids and under your eyes to create hollow, sunken eyes. Use black eyeliner to draw thin vertical lines over your lips to resemble skeleton teeth. Add shimmer or glitter to your eyes or cheekbones for a touch of glamour, and finish with bold, black lips. For an extra spooky touch, you can use a highlighter to add some shine to your skeleton “bones.”
What You’ll Need:
- Cool-toned contour powder
- Black eyeshadow
- Black eyeliner
- Glitter or shimmer eyeshadow
- Black lipstick
3. Mermaid Magic
Channel the enchanting beauty of the sea with a mermaid makeup look that requires no face paint, only creativity and shimmer. Start with your regular foundation, and then use shimmering highlighters in shades like pearl, teal, and lavender to give your face an ethereal glow.
To create the look of fish scales, take a fishnet stocking, place it on your forehead, temples, or cheekbones, and lightly dab metallic eyeshadow in greens, blues, and purples over the netting. Once you remove the fishnet, you’ll have perfectly formed scales. Blend the scales into your regular makeup for a seamless transition. For your eyes, opt for a bold, oceanic look by blending vibrant shades of turquoise, blue, and green eyeshadow, and finish with a glossy or metallic lip.
What You’ll Need:
- Shimmer highlighters (teal, lavender, silver)
- Metallic eyeshadows (greens, blues, purples)
- Fishnet stockings (for creating scales)
- Glossy or metallic lipstick
4. Gothic Queen
Unleash your inner dark queen with this easy yet elegant gothic look. Start with a matte foundation to create a pale, regal base. Focus on strong contouring, particularly around the cheekbones and jawline, to give your face a structured, angular appearance.
For the eyes, create a bold smoky eye using shades of black, plum, and dark purple eyeshadow. Wing out your black eyeliner for an added touch of drama. Dark, well-defined brows will give you a fierce expression. Complete the look with a deep burgundy or black lipstick for a gothic, vampy pout. Add some accessories, like a crown or choker, and you’ll rule Halloween night in gothic style.
What You’ll Need:
- Matte foundation
- Dark eyeshadows (black, plum, purple)
- Black eyeliner
- Deep burgundy or black lipstick
- Contour powder
5. Spider Queen
Create a look that’s equal parts spooky and chic with a Spider Queen makeup style. Start by applying your regular foundation and add contouring to define your features. Use a mix of black and silver eyeshadow to create a smoky, shadowy effect around your eyes.
The key to this look is the spiderweb design. Using black eyeliner, draw small, thin lines radiating from the corners of your eyes outward like a web. Connect the lines with curved strokes to complete the web. You can add some sparkle with silver glitter or eyeshadow over the webbing for a glam touch. Finish with a bold, deep red or black lip, and you’ll have the perfect balance of creepy and chic.
What You’ll Need:
- Black eyeliner (for spiderweb design)
- Black and silver eyeshadows
- Glitter (optional)
- Deep red or black lipstick
