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.
Video on how to create Halloween makeup at home
In the video master classes you will see some more interesting ideas on how to do very scary makeup: a stunned maiden, a vampire and some other characters. Again, ordinary cosmetics are used for them.
Indian
A beautiful and completely unique Indian with cosmic notes - try it, you will definitely like this image.
Fire maiden
Coming out of the burning forest, she will captivate you with her tragic beauty.
A vampire
I saved the classics of the genre for last. The vampire is very similar to the witch in the way it performs. Can be used for a child's or woman's look.
Mermaid
The adorable little mermaid may not be the most common character for Halloween, but it is very appropriate. You can make it very creepy if you want, but I suggest paying attention to a cute interpretation of such a Halloween idea.
Ideas for the worst men's makeup
So that guys don’t worry, here are a few rules for masculine makeup that will definitely look like makeup and not like girly evening makeup:
- Do not use mascara under any circumstances (only for streaks and patterns on the face)
- If the makeup involves painting lips, then draw fangs, evil grins, etc.
- Leave the glitter to the girls. Only matte colors for you.
And here are specific ideas that you can implement yourself.
Joker
Great and terrible! A famous comic book and film hero who is hard not to recognize. For boys, the idea is simply perfect. You will need makeup or gouache and a little hair gel to make the Joker look truly scary.
Evil clown
Although the master class is shown by a girl, this cool Halloween makeup is more suitable for guys due to its scary nature
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.
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.
Choosing a dress
Photos of various options for ready-made Queen of Spades costumes make it clear that the main requirement for a dress is matching the color scheme. The outfit should be in black and white or black and red.
The style of the dress, in principle, can be anything. For example, you can take a long black dress with a fitted cut as a basis. Then, using organza, tulle, tulle and any other materials, you can transform a modern outfit with your own hands into an attire that was in fashion in the century before last. To do this, you need to sew flounces and voluminous gathers onto the dress. If the base skirt of the suit is cut half-sun, then you can sew a multi-tiered tulle petticoat to make the dress fluffy.
A suit based on a short dress looks no less interesting. It can also be complemented with a variety of details that will completely transform its appearance.
If you don’t have a suitable dress in your wardrobe, then you should buy a black corset and sew a skirt to go with it yourself. It can be made short or long to suit your taste.
In any case, the dress will need to be decorated with card symbols, namely the image of the suit of spades. This part needs to be cut out of black fabric and sewn onto a piece of clothing in a contrasting color.
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.
The basis
For a makeup artist, the face is like a canvas for an artist. To ensure that the picture does not turn out blurry, you should choose the right makeup base. The shade of the foundation should match the color of the skin on your neck. Especially if the formal outfit includes a deep neckline.
Now it has become fashionable to use bronzer to sculpt the face. But if you create your New Year’s makeup yourself and have never used bronzer before, then it’s better to shift this mission to blush. With their help you can correct the shape of your face. For example, if you brush a blush brush along your chin and forehead, the visually elongated oval of your face will shrink.
Foundation for oily skin should be replaced with a light fluid or cream powder. Apply foundation after applying day cream. Moreover, it is better to moisturize the skin 15 minutes before applying decorative cosmetics and after the remaining cream is removed with a napkin.
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.
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.
Description
What kind of image is this - the Queen of Spades? Surely everyone knows that Queen of Spades evokes negative associations. Teenagers often try to evoke it by drawing a ladder with lipstick on the mirror. And Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin introduced his own image of the Queen of Spades into Russian culture.
If you want to reproduce the authentic image of the Queen of Spades, be prepared for the fact that there will be no sexuality in your outfit. The Queen of Spades is a scary old woman with a high hairstyle and a cap on her head.
However, modern Halloween costumes (the Queen of Spades is no exception) are daring and sexy, because who wants to be a decrepit old woman when you can choose something cuter? Let's look at both image options so that everyone can choose what they like best.
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.
Arrows and eyelashes
The arrows on the upper eyelid, drawn along the growth of the eyelashes, can emphasize the look and make it more saturated. You can visually expand your look using a black pencil or eyeliner, drawing a line that is thickened and raised to the outer corner of the eye.
Beautiful makeup for the New Year involves long and voluminous eyelashes. Makeup artists give advice on how to achieve this: before reapplying mascara, it is necessary to powder the eyelashes painted after the first time. However, there is a warning in this technique, or rather, in its consequences: repeated application of even the highest quality mascara is doomed to it falling off.
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.
Proud old woman
Not everyone wants to be a decrepit young lady, but you can still create the image of an old woman like this:
1. For a dress and shawl, take a plush tablecloth or organza of any color, not necessarily black. It is desirable for the fabric to look old and worn.
2. Sew a cap from an ordinary panama hat: trim it with lace, decorate it with bows and ribbons.
3. Curl your hair with curling irons and sprinkle with flour to create a gray effect. Apply whitewash to your face, draw wrinkles and circles with purple shadows around the eyes.
4. Add a shuffling gait and a grumpy voice, and your look is complete!
Joker Makeup
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.
Details
As you know, any costume is “made” by the details, so it’s worth taking time to create them. Here are some ideas that you can use when creating a costume:
- High standing collar.
This part of the costume can be made of velvet, satin, lace and non-woven fabric (lining material, sold in the “Fabrics” departments). To create a pattern, you need to take measurements by measuring the length of the dress along the neckline at the back. We draw a pattern in the form of a trapezoid, and the shorter of the parallel sides should be equal to the measurement taken. We cut out three identical parts (two from fabric and one from non-woven fabric). Then, on the part that will be at the back, we place the non-woven part with the adhesive side and iron it with an iron. The spacer will stick and give rigidity to our collar. All that remains is to sew our details, turn them right side out and sew them to the neck of the dress.
- Plume.
Both short and long dresses can be decorated with a train. Making this part is very simple. You need to take a wide elastic band and cut off a piece equal to your waist size. Cut out a semicircular piece from the fabric (like a pattern for a sun skirt) and sew it to the elastic band. This train is worn over a skirt or dress, and if you get tired of it, you can easily remove it. You should not make the train very long, as it will be uncomfortable to wear, and others will often step on the protruding part of the dress.
- Headdress.
The Queen of Spades can wear a variety of hats. This could be a wide-brimmed hat decorated with a feather, a small pillbox hat with a fascinator, or a lady's top hat that is attached to the side with pins. You can do without a headdress by decorating your hair with a tiara in the shape of a symbol of the suit of spades.
- Shoes.
If the dress is long, then you can wear any comfortable shoes that match the color of the suit. But a short skirt requires a more careful selection of shoes. You can use shoes and high boots, but the shoes must be elegant and stiletto heels. If the shoes chosen are red or white, then they need to be decorated with images of the suit of spades.
- Half mask.
You can complement the costume with a velvet half mask, decorated with sequins and feathers painted black. This mask is quite easy to cut out yourself from black velvet paper. You can use a simple shape, or you can make the half mask curly and elaborate. In order for the half mask to be worn, an elastic band should be attached to its edges.
- Gloves.
Lace short gloves or long mittens up to the elbow or longer will go perfectly with the suit.
- Decorations.
You can make a neck pendant or bracelet in the shape of a symbol of the suit of spades. You can make a similar decoration from black beads, polymer clay or other materials.
So, on your own, you can quickly and easily make an original Queen of Spades costume, which is ideal for celebrating Halloween.
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. Walk down the street dressed in wonderful costumes and catch the funny faces of passers-by, ask for candy and dance with your friends. On Halloween, you can do whatever your imagination wants, the main thing is that it is legal and no one gets a heart attack.

Beauty treatments
“You need to prepare for everything in advance” is a truth that most women neglect. And not because of his reluctance to do something on time, but simply because he is very busy. Before the New Year, a list of things that need to be done appears, and the item “visiting a cosmetologist” is not always present on it. But this is not a problem, since professional skin care products are available on the modern cosmetology market. Therefore, preparatory procedures can be carried out independently, at home.
Acid peels promote deeper skin cleansing than daily care. Moreover, the frequency of their application depends on the skin type. Oily skin needs to be peeled 2 times a week, normal skin - 1 time, and very dry skin - 1 time, but every 14 days. After such procedures, makeup for the New Year will lie smoothly and last all night.
