Autumn is famous not only for its dreary weather, yellow leaves, warm tea, fresh baked goods and pumpkin pies. She is also adored by everyone thanks to such a holiday as Halloween. In America, this holiday has become very popular, unlike the CIS countries. There it is considered a big event, with many families decorating their homes with pumpkins and spider webs. However, even among us it delights children and teenagers. Today we’ll tell you how to do Halloween makeup at home and look at the top most common looks.
After all, it’s great fun to dress up in costumes, put on makeup, carve pumpkins and ask neighbors for sweets. An atmosphere of mystery and slight darkness rises in the air. However, with the help of makeup you can add even more charm to the holiday and brighten your mood. Even during the process, you can recharge yourself with the appropriate energy and then conquer everyone with your magical image. Combining colors and choosing outfits is an art. Keep a selection of unique makeup looks that no one will remain indifferent to.
Light makeup for Halloween
Let's start with simple options. The most common trick in Halloween makeup is bleeding the face. This is usually done by using a light foundation or powder. All parts of the face become pale, even the lips. There is also a brighter option - evening makeup for a vampire or witch with more pronounced features. For example, you can highlight your lips, make a creative design on your eyelids, or fill in your eyebrows.
By the way, the two methods can be combined: we make the face completely white, but apply dark, provocative shadows to the eyelids. This combination can be done without special skills. In a look with simple makeup, the emphasis is on the costume.

Scary makeup
Your imagination and your creative skills are already at work here. As children, many were scared by clowns, screaming masks, and mythical creatures. And based on these fears, it is now possible to create magnificent, interesting images. You can bring to reality the image of a zombie, a corpse bride, Jack the Ripper, the Queen of Spades, Bloody Mary.
Sometimes the process is so fascinating that the results are very frightening and bright makeup. You can use face painting, cream textures, pigmented shadows, rhinestones. It is desirable to get voluminous make-up for a more realistic look.

In Mexico, November 1st and 2nd are celebrated as Day of the Dead. They celebrate with a noisy carnival. Among girls, the images of Catherine (a sort of glamorous girl), the Bride and the mistress of the holiday - Santa Muerte (goddess of death) are popular. To achieve this, they use makeup called “sugar skull”.
Since the image is very bright, and the carnival almost coincides in numbers with Halloween, Katrina can often be found at parties on the eve of All Saints' Day. This is the kind of makeup suggested for her by the famous beauty blogger Elena Krygina.
Popular Halloween looks
The good thing about this holiday is that you don’t have to limit your imagination and come up with different kinds of looks. On this day you can become your favorite hero, wear bright makeup, and scare half the neighborhood. The main components are hairstyle, makeup and costume.
Moreover, creating a costume is also a very interesting and exciting process. Complete your look with layers, don’t be afraid to stand out and experiment. Even the most typical character options can be embodied in different ways, and now about them. This is who girls can transform into.
Catwoman
Cats are the epitome of sexuality, confidence and independence, even though they can be cute. Makeup also has many options, and here is one of them. It’s very easy to even out the tone of your face, make long arrows, apply eyeliner or face painting to your nose and mustache. In any low-price store you can find a hoop and attach ears to it, or even buy a ready-made one.
You can dress in something black, or find clothes with leopard print. By the way, in the second case, you can use shadows or face painting to paint the same spots on your face to create a full-fledged leopard print makeup. This look looks bold and is also very easy to implement. It comes in millions of variations, so even a cat themed party can have a personal touch.
Witch, demoness, queen of spades
These looks are famous for their popularity due to the simple makeup and the ability to find a large number of black items. Make dark eyes and lips, draw crosses, peaks or something similar near the eyes, dress in dark clothes - and the image is ready.
Mermaid, fairy
These images are not scary, but they look interesting. Here you can come up with something delicate and bright. Wear a pink, blue or other light-colored dress, cut out wings, find a hoop with stars, apply glitter to your hair and eyes - and you are a fairy. Draw scales on your cheek, paint your eyes with an emerald or azure shade, apply glitter to your lips, wear something sparkling - and you are a mermaid.
Art makeup for Halloween
This is a separate type of makeup, which is distinguished by its brightness. You can create a greenish or white tone to your face, line your eyes, highlight your lips and draw a scary smile from the corners. There are no limits here; the scarier the better.
Wounds
Here, Halloween makeup does not involve specific characters. We just take and draw scars, stitched wounds, bones on the face, and you can also make a voluminous red wound using cream and napkins.
The most beautiful vs terrible images
Many people love Halloween precisely because on this day you can experiment with your appearance as much as you like. Makeup, clothes, hairstyle - choose any look to suit your taste and color. Plus, there are numerous Halloween makeup ideas.

Scary doll makeup for Halloween
Many girls love to play with dolls, but in horror films these characters appear before us as something terrible. An empty look, pale skin, a bloody mouth... These creatures do not at all look like children's toys and mercilessly kill people. That is why there has been a cult of such makeups, which are characterized by:
- pale face like porcelain;
- thin eyebrows, or even none at all;
- stand out eyes that can be made with eyeliner and false black eyelashes;
- thin, slightly pink lips;
- lush styling or straight, slightly slicked hair;
- cracks on the face, drawn with a thin pencil.
How to do doll makeup for Halloween
To make it at home, you don't need many things. First, apply a base and light foundation, then create a matte effect with powder. Apply a subtle pinkish, black or white shade to your lips (depending on your mood) and apply black false eyelashes to your eyes. Use a pencil to create the effect of cracked skin, or use paint to apply blood near the corners of your mouth.
Draw short arrows on the eyelids, give them a pinkish or mint tint using pigment. At the end, add a light blush to your cheeks and blend well. Makeup can turn out discreet or sinister, it all depends on the shades. Finish off your look with a beautiful hairstyle, such as curls or a high ponytail with clips.
Voodoo doll makeup
We all know the insidiousness of the Voodoo doll and how it ruins lives. This character is quite scary and can tickle anyone's nerves. Try to make the embodiment of Voodoo on your face. Makeup should start with tone. The doll was made from dirty rags, so it is advisable to make the tone darker and try to create the effect of dust.
Her mouth is embroidered with thread, so we paint over her lips with tone and draw a thin black line on them and imitate seams. We line our eyes with dark eyeliner and apply black shadows. If possible, attach decorative buttons to your face, or use face painting, for example, on the forehead. Clothes should be in brown and beige shades with an aged effect. You can even put on a potato sack, it will fit the theme.
Makeup Anabel
The horror film about Anabelle is one of the most disturbing and intense. This is an equally scary character, and they often try to replicate it on Halloween. The makeup is very simple but has a lot of detail. Let's start, as usual, by evening out the tone, take a light shade, although for an effect closer to the film, you can take a darkish one. Then we will draw thin straight eyebrows without the effect of hairs. Apply long, lush eyelashes to the eyes, draw arrows, and highlight the eyelid with dark shadows.
Apply red blush to the cheeks and blend. Our lips should be purple or bright red with a clear contour. For a more cartoonish effect, you can add outlines with a black pencil, for example, making dimples or emphasizing the lips, but this is optional. There is also a makeup option using face painting - you need to follow the same color combinations, but draw clearer boundaries with a brush. We braid two braids on our head, put on a dress - and Anabelle’s look is ready. Don't forget to smile.
Looks for girls
In addition to the devil, girls can dress in other creepy images. After all, beauty is not in first place on this day. Every representative of the fair sex can make her dream come true and transform into the heroine of her favorite horror movie for a few hours.
To create an image, you need to prepare basic products, which include eye shadow, lipstick, foundation, eyeliner, and mascara. Additional products you should choose are cream pigments, professional makeup, and glitter.
Important! You may need bandages, threads (to imitate sewn-up mouths or wounds), lenses with scary pupils, false vampire fangs.
The range of terrifying heroes whose appearance you can try on is large, so there is plenty to choose from:
- A dead bride. The heroine would suit unnaturally pale skin, sunken cheekbones, and streaks of blood. To enhance the effect, you should choose the appropriate outfit, which can be an old wedding dress and veil.
The dead bride must have light skin
- Crap. Devil makeup is easy to create at home. Bright cosmetics and an additional detail in the form of horns on the rim are required. The costume is optional.
For make-up, you need bright cosmetics
- Devil makeup would be appropriate. It can be seductive or scary. There are bright eyes, red and black lipstick, fiery elements. You can do everything your imagination can do.
Devil makeup can be seductive
- Fallen Angel. A durable yet attractive look will appeal to many girls. Such makeup should be bright and aggressive. It is recommended to use a large amount of black, diluting it with gold, silver or other shades.
- Mummy. To create a costume you will need several packs of bandages. They wrap the entire figure. The suit must not be too tight so that you can move freely in it.
- Catwoman. Appropriate makeup and a black suit are required. Don't forget about the ears, which will complement the makeup.
- One of the most popular images is the witch. The mystical personality has long been a symbol of evil otherworldly forces. The makeup should have a greenish or black tint; you can choose purple shadows. If desired, draw a large mole on the nose.
The witch is the most popular Halloween image
Children's Halloween costumes are beautiful and simple. You can buy them in stores or make them yourself. The most common costumes are those of favorite cartoon characters, comic book characters, and kings. Girls will prefer princess outfits, boys - devils.
Devil Woman
The devil in itself is already an unclean word. Immediately one imagines bright fire, blood, darkness and a basement. The devil woman must create the same image, that is, she must be confident, daring and sinister. To scare people, you also need to create such makeup. The face tone can be any, it is advisable to draw cheekbones.
We make the lips burgundy, black or scarlet. The main feature we make is the eyes - the darker the better. Apply mascara to your eyelashes, apply and blend out black shadows. Lenses can also be a great addition. Black lenses combined with a smile will cause panic in any passerby. Red eyes will create an equally frightening image, but the look will be a little more open, and the image will also be closer to a vampire.
You can make some kind of horn buns on your head, or simply attach a hoop with horns. The costume can be a black cloak, a red cape, a black jacket with trousers, or a lace dress.
Halloween Ghost Makeup
Of course, a ghost costume can be made into a white blanket with two black spots. However, it will be more interesting to become a ghost yourself. You need to take white face paint and thoroughly disguise your face and neck. Then use black shadows to completely paint over the eyelids and get the effect of sunken eyes. You can wear a white spacious dress, a white suit or the same blanket.
Face painting
These are special water-based paints that are harmless to skin. This version of paints can be used even for children. Face painting is sold either like ordinary art paints in jars, or in dry form. In the latter case, it must be diluted with water.
If you plan to use the paint once or twice a year, then it is better to choose the option with powdered paints, since such makeup lasts longer. Face painting is sold in children's stores, entertainment centers and stores selling theater products.
Apply the paint using a sponge to cleansed and moisturized skin. If you want to make your skin look deathly pale, you can add a little blue or green to the white paint. It is better to apply makeup in two or three layers, the next layer should be applied after the previous one has dried. But since the makeup dries quickly, the makeup won’t take much time.
The makeup is washed off with plain water; if paint accidentally gets on your clothes, don’t worry, it washes off easily.
Nurse makeup
Nurses are not always kind and noble girls who are ready to help. On Halloween, they turn into sinister ladies who are not helpful at all, but can cause a lot of pain and suffering. Beware of them if you are afraid of injections and knives. Or become one of them. For makeup, the first thing you need is a foundation, a light shade. We straighten out the face and start drawing on the features.
We contour the nose and cheekbones to create the shape of the skull. We paint our lips with bright red lipstick, you can make streaks of blood. The option to make the lips match the tone of the face, light, is also welcome. We highlight the eyes with mascara, the shadows can be darker, no glitter. It would be ideal if you wear gray or white lenses, so the look will be more empty and intimidating. You can add a couple of wounds or stitches to the face using paints. The final stage will be a white coat or shirt stained with blood.
If you're going for a Kill Bill look, wear an eye patch and highlight your lips.
Makeup of the Queen of Spades
As children, many tried to call this lady, broke mirrors and listened to every step. The Queen of Spades made hearts beat faster and appeared in dreams. Therefore, this character is one of the most popular and scary, whose makeup we will try to repeat. The Queen of Spades is the embodiment of horror and darkness, so prepare for a lot of black.
First, we lighten the complexion with a whitish foundation, covering the lips. They can be left pale or painted over with black lipstick. We do the eyes using the smokey technique, draw arrows, paint the eyelashes, you can apply a little dark glitter. Near the corner of the eye you can draw a black peak with eyeliner.
We complete the look with a hairstyle. You can curl your hair or pin it up with a crab, the look is ideal for brunettes. In other cases, we put on a wig, hide our hair, or use a tint spray. We can put a veil on our face and a black hat on our head. These strict elements will emphasize sexuality and audacity. We put a black robe and cloak over the body, and we can add lace to the look. And why not put a deck of cards in your pocket.

The She-Devil is a character that fits perfectly with the Halloween theme. This is an insidious creature that can look both seductive and frightening. That's why the devil's makeup for Halloween varies.
Photos of variant images of this character allow us to conclude that horns are a mandatory attribute of this character. This accessory can be worn separately (for example, horns can be attached to a hairband) or as an element of makeup.
Dead Bride Makeup
The corpse bride is a fairly popular Halloween image. It comes from the legend of a buried bride who rebels and pursues her groom. You can turn any fantasies into reality and become that same rebel bride. Let's start with the tone and unnatural pallor, because corpses obviously cannot have pink cheeks. We contour the cheekbones and nose to emphasize the skull, using dark shadows to create the effect of sunken eyes. We make scars and cuts using creams, pencil or tattoos. We dress in a white dress, you can make a veil, preferably get it dirty. We take the bouquet in our hands and look for the victim.

Harley Quinn Makeup
“Suicide Squad” at one time captivated cinema lovers. Harley has become the object of adoration and cosplay, including on Halloween. Her image does not require precision, but let's try to make it classic. We make a light, always even tone of the face, draw cheekbones. We highlight our lips with bright red lipstick, you can create a smeared effect.
We paint the eyelashes with mascara, the eyelids with dark or pink-blue (you can have a gradient or a separate color for each eye) shadows, we simply set the eyebrows with a brush, and draw arrows. The eyes should look big and bright, so don’t skimp on the pigment and apply the base and fixative. Draw a heart with eyeliner near the corner of your eye. We make two ponytails on the head, put on a white T-shirt with a print, shorts, fishnet tights - and you're done. If possible, grab a bat.
Makeup Wednesday Addams
This is one of the most popular serial characters. It is distinguished by its harmfulness, independence and minimalism. Her look is very easy to replicate. We make the face pale, leaving the lips barely pink. We braid two pigtails and put on something like a dark school uniform. We make an angry look and we're done.

To create Batman's enemy, you will need to make the entire face white using paint. This will be our canvas for creativity. We darken the cheekbones and draw in the eyebrows. We make short black arrows, not pointed, apply gray and black shadows to the eyelids, blend them heavily. We paint our lips with red lipstick, being careless, we draw a long smile from the corners of the mouth. We put on a suit, let our hair down and enjoy. You will find detailed lessons from makeup artist Yulia Sizykh.
Pop art for Halloween
This style is reminiscent of comic books. It is not always frightening, but on the contrary, it often lifts the mood. To implement such makeup, you will need paints or makeup. First we even out the tone of the face. Then we start sculpting with a brush. We need to highlight all the features to get a comic book effect. We draw lines on the cheekbones, chin, nose, forehead, etc.
We paint our eyes with any bright shadows and apply black eyelashes. It is customary to apply bright red matte lipstick on the lips. It is also advisable to outline the outline in black. If you want to draw a smile, draw thick white lines on the upper and lower lips, imitating teeth. Then apply lipstick to the remaining lip contour. Draw the teeth and outline the lips with a black pencil. You can add highlights to your face using a white pencil. If desired, draw dots on the cheeks, like in comics.
Look on the Internet how to do this to avoid getting freckles. We put on a shirt and tie its ponytails in the middle, shorts or a miniskirt, curl our hair or make a high ponytail - and we get the look of a coquette from a comic book. You can experiment with clothes and colors.
Bat
This image is somewhat reminiscent of vampires. We need to make the complexion white. Next we highlight the eyes using dark shadows. Lips may be red, pale, blue. If desired, you can add blood stains. It would be great if you could get removable fangs. We put a headband with ears on our head, a cloak or something loose on our body. You can also complement the look with red lenses.
Witch
This is one of the most popular Halloween looks. It has many variations and always looks creepy. Let's start by evening out the tone of the face, if possible, make it greenish. If we want to become a nasty witch, we draw wrinkles, make the lips brownish, add warts from the makeup kit, or draw them too. If we want to become a sexy witch, we draw arrows on our eyes and apply bright shadows, highlight our lips with black or burgundy lipstick, and apply glitter to our hair. You can wear a black robe and hat. You can complement the look with a black cat, pumpkin or broom.
Halloween - what makeup to choose this year
Let's summarize how to choose makeup. As you can see, there are many options. But they are all quite simple and do not require professional tools. All you need is a light foundation, an eyeshadow palette, mascara, glitter and a set of lipsticks. Do makeup to suit your mood, don’t be afraid to try. Don't forget about the typical Halloween tricks: scars, wounds, stitches, blood, buttons on the face, colored lenses.
Draw spiders, cobwebs, pumpkins whenever the image allows. You will definitely be able to surprise your friends and have a lot of fun. You can even experiment with makeup together and transform each other.
