The origins of Halloween can be found in the paganism of the Celts. The holiday was celebrated during the harvest and was called Samhain. It was believed that this was the name of the main demon, who must be appeased by dressing in scary costumes similar to his appearance. People believed that the end of the harvest had a sacred meaning, so they performed various rituals. Some traditions of the ancient celebration remain today. Until now, people give themselves a terrible appearance, similar to demonic forces. One of them is devil makeup for Halloween, which will be a great addition to the costume.

Step-by-step devil makeup
Halloween makeup for half face
Bright demon makeup for Halloween for girls is a great opportunity to create a blood-chilling image. Depending on the character's character, it will vary: seductive, intimidating, impudent.
To create a seductive devil makeup for Halloween, you should prepare everything you need: eye shadow, mascara, eyeliner, foundation and more.
Step-by-step Halloween demon makeup for girls consists of the following steps:
- First you need to prepare your skin: cleanse it, apply moisturizer and base. After this, foundation and corrector are applied to mask skin imperfections. A light corrector is applied to the area under the eyes, after which the face is powdered. For the last step, it is recommended to use loose powder.
The tone for the face should not just be pale, but deathly pale. If even the lightest shade of foundation does not allow you to do what you intended, you can use talc.
- The next step is to give shape and color to the eyebrows. Brunettes are recommended to use black, blondes – dark brown. If you wish, you can change the natural shape of your eyebrows. For example, give them a stronger bend or extend the length.
- Creating eye makeup. To do this, you need to draw arrows with black eyeliner or a pencil on the lower and upper eyelids. The lines should be neat, but wide enough. The inside of the eyelid is drawn especially carefully. Two lines are drawn on the upper eyelid, which should be at a short distance from each other. You can't do without eyeliner, regardless of your look. It is necessary in order to make the eyes more expressive, which should not be lost against the background of general makeup. The distance between the eyeliner lines is painted over with red shadows. The same shade is used to highlight the lower eyelid. This should be done with a brush with a beveled edge. Light shadows are applied to the skin under the eyebrow. The shade can be golden or pearl. Glitter won't hurt.
- The last thing to do when applying eye makeup is eyelashes. In addition to mascara, they use false eyelashes, which are glued in bunches to the upper and lower eyelids.
- Black or bright red lipstick is applied to the lips. You can use beetroot or plum shade. Lip makeup is created mainly in black tones. The surface can be dark burgundy, but a black outline is required. It doesn’t hurt to apply makeup using the gradient technique, using dark and gloomy shades of glitter and lipstick.
The demon's makeup is complemented by an appropriate costume.
Eyes and lips turn black
Scary demonic makeup is less common than seductive makeup. This kind of makeup is more difficult to do, so it’s worth practicing beforehand. To create it, you need to prepare not only the usual cosmetics, but also theatrical makeup. If this is not possible, face painting will come to the rescue, which can then be easily washed off with water.
It is easy to apply. It is diluted with water, blotted with a hard sponge and, squeezing out the water, all the necessary details are drawn with it. Small curls and lines are drawn with a brush, applying all the strokes with confident movements.
When using face painting, consider the following tips:
- the consistency of the paint should be thick and not run off the brush;
- to apply thick lines, apply light pressure to the brush;
- fine lines and details are drawn with the tip of the brush.
A devil's Halloween makeup wouldn't be complete without horns. They can be made or purchased in silicone stores.
Important! Face painting can be easily washed off with water. Theater makeup can be removed with milk or cosmetic oil.
Applying devil makeup consists of several stages:
- Applying moisturizer (when using face painting), baby cream (when using the theatrical version) on the face and neck. The makeup should be red.
- Eyebrows are drawn in with a black pencil. From the inside of the eyebrows, draw two lines down along the wings of the nose. Gray shadows are applied over the line and shaded thoroughly.
- Instead of blush, black shadows are applied to the cheekbones.
- Draw arrows on the eyes using black eyeliner. At this stage, the devil's Halloween makeup already looks pretty scary.
- Lips are painted with black or red lipstick.
To complete the makeup for the devil girl, you should attach the horns.
The devil's makeup is complemented by a costume and attributes: a spear, a trident
Vampiress
These ladies love to go out at night. But it's better not to meet with them. After all, their bloody kiss is deadly. By the way, if you decide to go to a party in the guise of a ghoul, stay away from aspen stakes. Yes, just in case.
Not a single Halloween is complete without vampires and werewolves. If you want to become a sexy vampire for the evening, arm yourself with a red cosmetic pencil and false fangs.
Here's a more hardcore version.
For this makeup you will need red paint that imitates blood and carnival lenses.
Demon Makeup Options for Halloween
Makeup for drooping corners of the eyes
Sinister little devil makeup for Halloween or demon makeup – there are many options. Each girl chooses the one that suits her taste:
- A demon from the underworld that looks like a skeleton. In this case, special attention is paid to makeup. Eyes and lips are highlighted in black (lipstick and shadows). For a better effect, use lenses to make your eyes black.
- Vampire temptress. A vampire is also a demon. The creature is the embodiment of evil forces. The topic has long excited the minds of young people. In addition to bright black and red eyes and lips, they use false fangs, without which the character would be incomplete.
- The devil is also a demon. The image can be made seductive, sweet or evil.
- Another guest from the other world is a ghost. The image should use white and light gray shades. They draw circles under the eyes, streaks of blood from the eyes, cuts on the neck, arm or face.
- The Bride of Frankenstein is a worthy image. White skin without the slightest sign of blush, smoothly styled hair, black eyes - all this will best bring the idea to life in the same way as the mad doctor once did in the novel.
Instead of doing devil makeup for Halloween, you can use masks that depict a demon. Short or branched horns, scary elements will create the best new image. A demon does not have to be scary, it can be tempting, seductive, beautiful. It all depends on what kind of makeup the girl does.
When creating makeup at home, do not be afraid that your eyes will turn out too bright. That's how they should be. The arrows can be made in a variety of ways: smooth, long, wide, with curls in different directions, cobwebs, in several rows, of different colors.
With Sugar Skull
Fashionista and beauty Catherine is the star of the Day of the Dead carnival. Just touch it and it will crumble like sugar. Because she herself has been dead for a long time.
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.

X Harley Quinn
What to expect from this crazy girl? Anything! Seriously, this psychic, excuse me, psychiatrist, is ready to do anything for the sake of the Joker. It’s hard to believe that such a sweet creature could be so..., excuse me, cruel and merciless.
Transforming into this crazy gymnast-psychiatrist is not difficult. Video instructions are attached. Following the success of Suicide Squad, Harley Quinn will undoubtedly be one of the most sought-after Halloween looks this year.
There are many tutorials on YouTube on how to create the look of Harley Quinn. Here, for example, is a version of the doll girl Anastasia Shpagina, who is not unknown on the Runet.
Heroes are original
The good thing about Halloween is that there are no restrictions when choosing a hero for the party. If you don’t want to choose a traditional image or copy a “movie” hero, then you can always come up with something of your own, exclusive.
For example, the theme of Space is not often used at this holiday. Therefore, the heroes – inhabitants of other planets – will look very original. It’s not at all necessary to try to replicate the makeup of the characters in the movie “Avatar”; you can come up with something of your own, because no one knows what aliens really look like.
Quite original heroes of the holiday are the signs of the zodiac. Why create a character that personifies a particular constellation?
Thus, Halloween heroes can be very different - evil and kind, attractive and scary. This variety of characters is the main charm of the carnival holiday.
M Dead Rapunzel
Sitting in a tower and combing your hair while waiting for the prince is boring. Mortal boredom. At least hang yourself on your own scythe. The prince will be surprised.
Images of beautiful but dead Disney princesses are very popular on YouTube. Most of these transformations were invented by a girl under the nickname Mykie. Her channel Glam&Gore has almost two million subscribers. Thanks to her beautiful and terrible transformations, Snow White began to decompose without waiting for a life-giving kiss, and the little mermaid Ariel ended up on a fishing hook. Poor things.
Witch
With one glance she has the power to execute or pardon. Under the cover of night, she soars up on a broom. She knows the secrets of all people. But if anyone finds out her secret, she will end up at the stake.

From the point of view of implementation, this is perhaps the simplest image. All you need is black clothes, black eye shadow and dark lipstick.
Another option:
Movie characters
Heroes from various films are always present at the festival. Since new blockbusters are released annually, the fashion for holiday characters changes quite often. However, there are heroes from films whose fashion has lasted for decades. In the list of characters that are always relevant, it is worth including Freddy Krueger. Almost four decades have passed since the film was released, but this hero remains recognizable and quite popular.
The category of Halloween classics includes images of heroes from “Star Wars”, “Lord of the Rings”, “Transformers”, as well as the unforgettable Adams family.
After the release of the film based on Lewis Carroll’s fairy tale in 2010, the fashion for heroes living in “Wonderland” and “Through the Looking Glass” was revived. Now at almost every party you can meet the Mad Hatter, Alice, the Queen of Hearts and other heroes of this film.
The characters from the series of films about the Pirates of the Caribbean do not lose popularity either. Of course, most often the image of Jack Sparrow is chosen for a party, but Dave Jones is also a very relevant hero, although creating this image requires quite complex makeup.
Various Superheroes often appear at carnivals, and Halloween is no exception. The images of Batman and Catwoman remain relevant. Not long ago, heroes from the X-Men film series - Wolverine, Magneto, Storm, etc. - came into fashion.
But, of course, most of the Halloween heroes appeared thanks to horror films. These include various zombies, evil killer clowns, and dead dolls. By the way, it is not at all necessary to completely copy the image created by the film’s makeup artists. Photos of characters in the film can be used to get ideas, and the character himself can be born from his own imagination.
You can get ideas not only from feature films, but also from animated films. For example, one of the most relevant heroines for girls is Emily, a character from the cartoon “Dead Bride.”
