A vampire is a great traditional look for Halloween celebrations. It is universal and flexible, suitable for girls, girls and women.
Men and boys also often choose mystical images for themselves - the roles of vampires or Dracula.
The female image of a vampire does not necessarily have to be frightening; it can even be created as exciting, elegant, strict or funny masquerade. Makeup will play the most important role in creating the chosen image.
We have selected a collection of videos for you that will make it easy to learn how to apply vampire makeup for Halloween.
Video 1. Elegant vampire makeup: step-by-step creation
Below is a video from a professional makeup artist. And after it, we have placed a detailed translation of explanations that will help you create an elegant gothic vampire Halloween look for a girl.
For the vampire makeup, we will use purple colors to create this expressive look. But you can take other colors. The main thing is that there is a dark tone, light and intermediate shades.
Eyes
- To start take some duct tape (or even just a sticky sticky note). Then, when shading, you will get a completely clear and clean angle line. Press it obliquely from the corner of the eye to the temple.
- Do strokes with a fluffy brush in the first color you choose along the upper eyelid to a point on the inner edge of the eye.
- Then, taking second color, apply it towards the outer corner and lightly blend the colors in the crease of the eyelid.
- Black Using eye shadow, start working on the inner cornerto add mysterious depth to the look.
- The color that remained on the brush after that, lightly blend along the sides of the bridge of the nose and a little along the crease of the eye.
- Next, to darken it and give the eye a larger shape, pass black shading along the edge and fold.
- The tape can now be removed and you should have a perfectly clean and smooth edge.
If you don’t have any adhesive surface at hand at home, then (with some skill and accuracy) it can be replaced by a simple piece of paper pressed tightly to the skin, or a napkin.
- To give expressiveness to the look apply light to the inner corner of the eye (preferably shiny) color.
- Apply a medium-tone highlight under the eyebrow with light movements of the brush. and feel free to switch to eyeliner. If you draw a fairly clear and very dark line along the edge of the lower eyelid, right along the shadows, then the look will become even more dramatic.
- Then boldly apply dark eyeliner at the point of the inner corner, and then use a black pencil to draw lines on the upper and lower edges of the eyelid.
In order for the image to be not only terrible, but also beautiful (and what girl doesn’t want to be beautiful even in the form of a vampire?!), lengthen your eyelashes with artificial ones.
It’s good if these are not just long eyelashes, but ones where different lengths are combined - this way they will look not vulgar and doll-like, but very stylish.
A little black mascara on them and you can move on to the face itself.
Cheekbones - an elegant frame of the image
To create a vampire look for Halloween, it’s good if your skin is already quite pale. But we’ll disguise the dark or ruddy color with light powder.
This can even be done this way: mix a little of any white makeup cream with some very pale powder powder.
Add a light highlight to the cheekbones and a little to the forehead. In this case, use a napkin that limits the toning line. The method is described above. Be careful when applying the highlight to the other cheekbone. They must be symmetrical.
Final accent: vampire lips
Now let's move on to the lips.
We suggest doing this as follows: line the contour of your lips with a black liner, and then use lip balm and a brush to mix the colors right in the middle.
Top with purple (or other dark) lipstick. Blot any excess with a dry cloth to prevent the makeup on your lips from bleeding.
Look at yourself in the mirror and make sure that your teeth remain white without any paint - a vampire's smile should be snow-white.
But to make the appearance more sexy and even gothic, you can add “blood”...
What should it be made of? Any red paint with a dense consistency, very thick ketchup, or a special burgundy liquid from professional makeup will do. Decorative blood is also sold in art supply stores.

Step-by-step instructions for applying “vampire” makeup for Halloween
Step-by-step instructions for creating a vampire girl's makeup for Halloween:
- The work begins with preparing the facial skin. It needs to be cleaned with tonic, then applied with moisturizer. If you have skin defects, they need to be disguised (a vampire's skin must be perfect). Next, apply a thick layer of foundation not only to the face, but also to the neck and ears. If you have a highlighter with reflective particles, apply it under your eyes. Set the result with powder.
Important! If you want to make your skin even paler, add a small amount of white and light blue eyeshadow to the powder.
- Apply a bronze blush to your cheekbones to create a sunken cheek effect.
- Make your eyebrows more expressive with dark shadows or a pencil.
- Apply a light shade of eye shadow to the moving eyelid. Apply a dark shade of eyeshadow to the crease of the upper eyelid and the area under the eyes. Blend everything thoroughly - this will create the illusion of dark circles under the eyes.
- Use dark purple or black shadows to line your eyeliner. Or use liquid eyeliner of a similar color.
- Using a pencil, draw a line along the growth of the lower eyelashes. If you take a pencil in a black or red shade, you will create the effect of sore eyes.
- Apply mascara to your eyelashes. If you want to make your eye makeup more expressive, you can use false eyelashes.
- Apply burgundy or other dark shade of lipstick to your lips. You can lightly smear it in the corners of your lips. And using artificial blood, draw thin streams of blood.
All you have to do is put on false fangs and colored lenses to make the image look impressive.

Creating Bites on the Neck for Vampire Girl Makeup
An important detail of a vampire's Halloween look is the bites on the neck. It is quite difficult to draw them on your own, so you can ask someone to help you. Below are instructions for creating bites:
- Using a black pencil (cosmetic), draw two dots with a diameter of 5 mm;
- there is no need to make them perfectly round - it is more appropriate to make them uneven to create the illusion of skin damage;
- use red shadows to draw a rim around the points so that the skin appears inflamed and irritated;
- apply a little purple eyeshadow - this will make the bruises appear. Blend the transitions between shadows well;
- add a drop of artificial blood and let it drain a little.
Important! If you didn't have time to make fake blood, you can use dark red lip gloss. But it flows worse, so you will have to smear it further to make it look natural and beautiful.

Vampire themes in art arose at the beginning of the 18th century in poems, ballads and poems. The most famous literary work of the 19th century was Bram Stoker's Dracula (1897), which had a huge influence on the modern understanding of vampires and gave rise to various books and films on the subject.
Today, vampire motifs are the basis of many famous films, for example, the mesmerizing “Interview with the Vampire” (1994), the acclaimed “Twilight” saga, which launched in 2008, or the classic film of the genre, “Dracula” by Francis Ford Coppola (1992). .

Characteristics and Features

- The basis of the image is bloodless skin with the effect of deathly pallor. In this case, not only the face should be pale, but also the neck and all open areas of the body. And no blush!
- Eye shadow can be smoky black or red. Another option is to use brownish-gray shadows to create dark circles around the eyes and tint the eyelashes with mascara;
- Eye makeup can be done either using the classic black smoky eyes technique or using black eyeliner to draw graphic arrows;
- It is appropriate to focus on both the eyes and the lips at the same time, but you can also use classic tips: if you decide to make your eyes bright, then you can not highlight your lips with lipstick for vampire makeup, but, on the contrary, make them pale to match your skin tone. Rich shades of lipsticks - dark cherry, deep purple, black, scarlet - are suitable if you want to emphasize your lips;
- The contour of the lips can be clearly defined for an aggressive image or blurred, which will create the effect of half-erased blood;
- Vampire makeup for Halloween can be complemented with painted streaks of red color on the lips or near the eyes.
