Halloween Makeup Ideas That Will Make You the Star of the Night
This Halloween, say goodbye to cheap masks from the local fair or simple adhesive scars. Instead, you can create a terrifying look using a few accessories, some blood-red eyeshadow, and pristine white powders. Here are some easy and foolproof makeup tutorials that will help you achieve a devilishly successful makeover.
Cobwebs with the Bare Minimum
This year, Halloween falls on a Friday, which means you might be working and won't have much time to create a stunning look. Besides, the longest and most tedious makeup looks aren't always the best. Ultimately, it all comes down to technique and precision.
One content creator, @lenkalul, has shared a method that's perfect for this spooky night. She draws a spiderweb in the corner of her eye using a slanted sponge and an eyelash curler. She applies a base of white eyeshadow, then goes over it with a black felt-tip liner to avoid any mistakes. She adds more dimension by blending everything with black eyeshadow and a brush. This makeup, which elicits more gasps of admiration than terror, perfectly captures the Halloween theme without sacrificing elegance.
Another variation for larger canvases: use the skewers from this summer to make straight lines across your cheek and weave bloody threads that give the illusion of a scarred face.
Ultra-Glamorous Red Devil Horns
You can wear devil horns on your head or paint them on your face like Lena. The method is simple. Thanks to an eyelash curler, you're guaranteed to have perfectly precise horns, without a single smudge. While some Halloween makeup looks are intentionally barbaric, this one is impeccable, worthy of a psychopath. To recreate it, all you need is vermilion lipstick, an eyelash curler, and a fine brush. Now that's a killer makeup look!
A Fake Scratch with a Fork
Professional makeup artists create incredibly realistic scars that are enough to make you gag. They make gruesome cuts using latex, glue, and other ingredients that only professionals know how to handle. However, to create the illusion of a sliced cheek or eyebrow, you don't need all those products. The weapon of choice for this aesthetic crime is right there in your kitchen drawer. And no, it's not the traditional knife, but the fork.
Simply apply a little lipstick to the teeth of this piece of crockery and hold it up to your face. Add some dimension to this fake wound by dabbing a darker eyeshadow inside, and finish it off with a blood-red lip gloss (or strawberry jam if you don't have any). You've got Halloween makeup as polished as the special effects in horror movies.
A Skeleton Mouth Made with a Toothpick
If you have shaky hands when doing your makeup or you've forgotten everything you learned in art class, this technique is for you. Even the most mediocre artists can try it. Color a toothpick with eyeliner (cream eyeliner is best) and draw vertical lines on your lips, making sure to stretch your mouth for a truly menacing smile. Add more depth and darkness to this Halloween makeup by smudging the lines with black eyeshadow. Repeat the process on a round lipstick or concealer cap and imprint the shape onto your nose.
Crushed Aluminum to Mimic an Injury
Here's a quick Halloween makeup look that requires no artistic skills. Grab a piece of aluminum foil and crumple it into a ball. Unfold it, apply lipstick to it, and you have a custom-made stamp, capable of transforming any clean-cut girl into an evil zombie.
Forget the white sheet and predictable makeup inspired by the Addams Family or Harley Quinn. With these sinister coquettish touches, accessible to everyone (even the most clumsy), you'll bewitch your loved ones.
