DIY scary Halloween makeup

You can do original makeup for the scariest day of the year yourself, using cosmetics or aqua makeup. Below are options that will make a girl the star of any party.

Makeup “Corpse Bride”

The image of this bright character implies the presence of an old wedding dress (preferably torn, dirty), a blue wig, a flower wreath and a veil. In addition, you need to do the appropriate Halloween makeup at home.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. A pale face can be achieved using various means. The first is a mixture of blue shadows with white powder, and the second is a pale blue makeup. Also, do not forget about the whole body so that the image is complete.
2. Next, outline the eyes (the area around the eyebrows and under the lower eyelid) with purple and blue. Use the same shade to highlight the line of the nose, temples, and cheekbones. This is done in order to emphasize thinness. Fill in the eyelids with white pencil to create huge eyes.
3. Outline the white area with black. Draw eyelashes along the outer side, highlighting the nostrils. Particular attention to the eyebrows. They should be thin and quite original in shape. For their clarity, eyeliner is used. Plus, you need to draw the pupils in such a way that the bride’s gaze is directed upward.
4. Apply bright pink lipstick to your lips and attach a deep blue wig.
5. The final touch is a golden wreath. The bright image of the cartoon heroine is ready.

Harley Quinn from Suicide Squad

Following the success of the movie Suicide Squad, this character is one of the most sought after characters at Halloween parties. Harley is the crazy, merciless and charismatic girlfriend of the Joker.

Makeup can be done step by step as follows:

1. Apply a light foundation to your face. Using shadows or paints, accent the eyes with pink and blue, like the character’s. Blend thoroughly, as if the paint had spread across the cheeks.
2. Apply bright red lipstick to your lips. You can add glitter on top.
3. Highlight the line of the nose, cheekbones and temples in a darker tone. Use black paint to outline your face from the forehead to the neck under the chin. At the cheeks, the line should become oblique, passing through the lower part of the cheekbones.
4. Highlight your eyebrows. Outline the lips with black, making small strokes with a brush. The same careless stripes should run along the nose, on the black line of the cheekbones, next to the eyebrows. Add white to the lower lip and upper lip.
5. All that remains is to put on a spectacular, memorable wig and choose a suitable costume.

Cat image: execution sequence

Cat makeup for Halloween is easy and won't take much time. This image is popular due to its mysticism, as well as “collaboration” with sorcerers and witches. To work, you will need a minimum of cosmetics: mascara, black pencils of different thicknesses, bright coral lipstick, light green eye shadow, blush and foundation for the face.

The process is divided into stages:

1. Having transformed the skin of the face with a tonal foundation and highlighting the cheekbones, you need to move on to the eyes. You can outline your eyes with a sharp black pencil or liquid eyeliner. You definitely need to make arrows. Apply green shadows to the upper and lower eyelids, blend the black pencil on top for greater expressiveness.
2. Apply eyelashes top and bottom. It is best to choose a lengthening mascara.
3. Using a pencil, paint over the tip of the nose and draw a line to the upper lip. Outline its outer part also in black.
4. Add mustache dots and apply lipstick or bright gloss on your lips. The makeup is ready, all that remains is to choose a beautiful outfit and attach the ears and tail.

Drawing spectacular lips

If you need to do makeup for a doll or witch for Halloween, special attention should be paid to the lips. The correct choice of tone largely determines how well the makeup will look.

Below is one option:

1. Outline your lips with a black pencil, drawing a thicker line in the corners.
2. Carefully paint your lips with bright purple lipstick.
3. Paint the middle of the upper and lower lips with a white or light pink tone. You can add a drop of transparent glitter.

Eye-catching makeup with a skull element

Skull makeup for half the face requires care and black and white makeup. It goes great with a leather jacket or a black slim dress.

Instructions for implementation:

1. Using white makeup or powder, lighten one half of the face.
2. Paint half of the nose black, outline only one eye, draw a line from the ear to the corner of the lips.
3. Completely fill in the eye, making a thicker dark base near the ear, moving towards the chin.
4. Using a brush, draw vertical stripes on the lips from shortest to longest.
5. Blend the black over your lips until you get a gray tint. Add other touches: highlight the upper line of the forehead, make streaks around the eye.
6. Apply makeup to the other half of the face as usual, using burgundy lipstick, eyeliner and dark eye shadow. To consolidate the result, you can use a makeup fixing spray.

Makeup with cobwebs

The usual option of applying cobwebs to the face with a black pencil or paints can be complemented by using red makeup.

The sequence of actions is as follows:

1. Prepare your face using foundation, powder and blush. Outline your eyes with black, highlight your eyebrows, apply a thick layer of red shadow to your eyes, after painting your eyelids with a black tint. To make the look more expressive, it is recommended to display red arrows.
2. Paint the upper part of the face with red paint, shading the edges. Outline the area around the eyes and eyebrows with a thick pencil in the shape of a pentagon.
3. Draw a straight line from the center of the forehead to the tip of the nose. Draw the remaining stripes at an angle. Do this so that the lines on top seem to be mirrored below.
4. Connect the strips with small arcs, as in the photo, to make a web. The image is ready!

Photos of witch, clown and vampire makeup

Effective makeup is the key to success at a themed party. Makeup for a witch, a werewolf, a vampire for Halloween - all this requires thoughtfulness and careful preparation. Below are photos that show successful options for eye and lip makeup. For example, thickly painted eyelashes and burgundy lips with droplets of blood, tattoos on different parts of the face, or bright lenses imitating the eyes of a reptile look impressive. You can experiment with cool colors, make your face blue and white, and decorate your lips with silver sparkles.

Skeletons

Makeup of a skeleton or the popular “Sugar Rocks” is a win-win option for the holiday. You can do it in a moderate style or go all out and make the face incredibly realistic. This option is for brave girls who prefer a frightening, spectacular look. Ideas with different execution styles can be seen in the photo.

Creepy clowns

Brightly colored clowns evoke fear and horror in many people. This Halloween makeup look will definitely be a hit. It is not necessary to make a classic circus performer with a red nose and golden curls. A clown can be glamorous, scary with bloody smudges, or mystical or gothic. You can see the different options in the images below.

Animal images

For lovers of glamor, the image of a witch's assistant - a black cat - is ideal. Here you can experiment with makeup options, come up with bright details, and add fun accessories. In addition, the version of a deer girl with thick long eyelashes and calm makeup looks interesting. Examples in photographs.

Dolls are an incredibly scary image for a party

A spectacular, but rather difficult to execute image of a doll from horror films. It is on this holiday that a dusty abandoned doll will be able to take revenge on everyone who left her alone. The main decorative element of the image is the cracks on the porcelain face, as in the photo below. The makeup of the famous doll from the sensational horror film called “Saw” looks original.

The witch is a popular image for the autumn holiday

Evil, insidious witches always cause horror, frighten with their mystical abilities and ability to control people. By choosing this look, you can give free rein to your imagination in clothing and makeup. On Halloween, it will be appropriate to look like an angry, daring witch or as a modest one, hiding her cunning under a cute girlish mask.

Other memorable images

When preparing for the scariest party of the year, you don't have to go with the standard images of cats, witches or vampires. Those around you will be delighted if a bright unicorn with a blue mane, an imp with flower horns and thickly painted eyelashes, or a garden scarecrow with a sewn-up mouth appears at the celebration. Variants of these images are presented below.

Video of beautiful Halloween makeup

Video makeup for Halloween is the easiest way to create a spectacular look with minimal time investment. You can see how to make a frightening original makeup for the holiday from the video “Lightning on the Face”:

Another option is to transform into a zombie. The nuances of performing simple makeup are given in the video “Zombies for Halloween”:

For the holiday, it is important to think through every detail of the chosen image. Properly selected clothes, shoes, hairstyle, manicure and makeup will help you stand out from the crowd and add an intimidating and incredibly impressive atmosphere to the celebration. The main thing is not to be afraid to experiment and show interest in the chosen character.

Anastasia Skorekova Halloween 10/1/2015

Welcome to everyone on the blog today! We will discuss a non-trivial topic, but relevant in these autumn days - makeup for Halloween. It can be done in a variety of ways, presenting a variety of images at the holiday.

Not everyone celebrates this holiday, but many people like to stand out from the crowd. And what else can contribute to this if not competent makeup?) Although in this case it’s more like makeup.

I have already briefly mentioned one of the options for a terrible make-up. It's time to continue the topic

DIY Halloween makeup photos for girls and girls

Although makeup is predominantly a female activity, masquerade erases all boundaries, so let’s not forget about men either. However, first we will still consider options for the weaker half of humanity.

Doll

The makeup here should not be so much bright as it should be emphasizing the doll’s elements: various kinds of seams, buttons, plump lips, etc.

The most important thing is to highlight the eyes. They must be big and naive. Eyebrows are also worth drawing.

As you understand, it will be difficult for guys to use this particular type. But if you don’t put pressure on your painted lips, then everything will be ok. Although I doubt that guys will want to appear as a scary Ken for Halloween.

It seems to me that the simplest option is this step-by-step master class. You will need: a white base (you can use foundation), PVA glue, paper napkins, eye shadow in bright colors, lipstick, dark eye and eyebrow pencil.

1. Using PVA, carefully apply paper napkins as shown in the photo.
2. Apply foundation (you can also powder it)
3. Next we use shadows and pencil. The most important thing is to outline as large an area as possible, simulating the eye line (to enhance the effect, you can fill the area under the eyes with white shadows).
4. Fill your eyebrows, paint your lips.

If the idea of ​​a doll’s image haunts you, and this step-by-step explanation seems too simple to you, then I advise you to watch a tutorial on doll makeup in video format:

Cat

This look is classic, very pretty and not as scary as many traditional Halloween ideas. For it you will need face painting or simple gouache. You can also use regular cosmetics like black eyeliner, eye shadow and mascara - that will be enough.

The most important thing is to stock up on ears that suit you and a choker that will complement your Halloween look. By the way, in this form you will be able to play the famous catwoman. All that remains is to get the suit.

The second option is even simpler.

In order to make makeup the most interesting, I advise you to watch this master class:

Witch

Everything is very simple here, you don’t even need napkins with glue. Prepare: black and red pencils for eyes and lips, white or very light makeup base and red lipstick.

To create the effect of a transition of colors on the lips: apply red lipstick, and in the corners of the lips - a black pencil and blend.

By the way, with this makeup you can also create the image of the cat mentioned earlier.

Sugar Skull

I already wrote about the male version of the skeleton in a previous article about Halloween costumes. And now it’s time for the female version called “sugar skull.” This unusual makeup came to us from a holiday related to Halloween - the Day of the Dead, celebrated in Mexico (by the way, it takes place on November 1-2, that is, almost on the eve of All Saints' Day).

For this, it is better to use not only regular make-up products, but also masquerade face paints (can be purchased at office supply stores). By the way, in its simplest variation, this makeup can be done as a child’s makeup.

A dead bride

What is meant, of course, is not a living bride, but a corpse bride (as can be understood from the name). The highlight of the makeup is in the black lines near the eyes, imitating deep depressions, and in the black spot on the lips, applied with a pencil.

The application principle is similar to the previous options.

Do you remember Emily from the cartoon “Corpse Bride” from Tim Burton? Makeup with it is easy to recreate if you watch this master class from YouTube:

Demon (she-devil)

The shadows here extend beyond the eyebrows. After applying them, create sparkles of fire using black and red eyeliners.

Pay attention to the interesting way of coloring the Demon’s cheekbones: holding a scarf, paint the line of the cheekbones with red shadows or blush.

The lips are painted in a similar way to the witch. The result is a bright fiery devilish makeup, which is quite easy to repeat yourself.

Even cooler (and even somewhat simpler, except for the horns) was the festive makeup done here:

Zombie

The main focus of zombie makeup, in my opinion, is the characteristic spots and scars. You can make them like this: apply PVA glue, as in the photo. Gently apply toilet paper on top. Paint it properly with red paint and powder it. Then take red lip gloss and highlight the hollows.

Guys can also use this method.

And to find out how to paint your face to match this body makeup, I advise you to look at this tutorial:

Nurse

A popular image that is easy to reproduce at home. For him, the most important thing is the surroundings, which is achieved through proper makeup and various simple attributes. A medical mask and gown are enough to make you a real scary nurse.

Focus on the lips and eyes for a complete look. Unusual lenses will also help you achieve results.

You can see a step-by-step video of transformation into a nurse below:

Mickey Mouse (Minnie Mouse)

For Mickey's girlfriend, you will need to do bright evening makeup with the addition of a black nose and use the heroine's traditional round ears. Don't forget to stock up on some gorgeous false eyelashes to complete your beautiful Minnie look.

If you want your face to look more like a cartoon character, then try experimenting with arrows and pay special attention to lip makeup.

And a completely different vision of Minnie awaits you in the video below. This is perhaps the closest bow to the original.

Cobweb (Spider Queen)

You can create this look using black eyeliner and dark eye shadow. Mark with dots the places through which the lines of the web will pass. From the upper eyelid, draw several spider lines (one to each point) at the same distance from each other. Don't forget about the transverse lines to make the pattern complete.

You can complement the character with pale lip gloss.

The web can be made in a slightly different way, without using the eyelid itself.

Queen of Spades

For the first version of this Halloween makeup, it will be enough to apply white makeup and the attributes of a card ruler. Maybe you'd like to make the queen of hearts? Decide on the color and boldly apply the pattern, seasoning it with sparkles or rhinestones. Use the color of your lips to highlight your eye color.

An interesting vision of the bloody Queen of Spades is presented in this video with a detailed master class on how to create it.

Harley Quinn

The popularity of this character was due to the incredibly promoted film “Suicide squad” with accompanying comics. At one time, there were even memes on the Internet about Harley and Halloween: they say, all the girls will now transform into her for this holiday. Whether this is true or not is up to you to judge, but see the makeup of this young lady with a detailed description below.

Make-up paints will be used; in the absence of them, you can use simple gouache.

It's not surprising that Harley Quinn has had more than one make-up video done.

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: eyes on lips, a vampire and some other characters. Again, ordinary cosmetics are used for them.

Eye on lips

It’s more of an element of make-up – but what a make-up! With him, the rest of your appearance is not important.

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:

1. Do not use mascara under any circumstances (only for streaks and patterns on the face)
2. If the makeup involves painting lips, then draw fangs, evil grins, etc.
3. 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

Billy from the movie "Saw"

This cool look couldn't be more perfect for Halloween. Although very often they forget about him for some reason. Try it, your friends will just be horrified)

This concludes the article. There is still a lot of time before the holiday, but who knows when a masquerade will happen in your life?)

Ugly scars, bruises, black circles under the eyes, pale skin... - it seems that makeup for a Halloween party can only be done by professionals. However, if you wish, you can create it yourself at home. We share ideas and advice.

For memorable and bright makeup for All Saints' Day, it is not necessary to complete professional makeup artist courses or sign up for a beauty salon in advance. It is enough to have basic drawing skills and suitable cosmetics (for example, face painting). Armed with inspiration, free time and patience, you can create the desired image yourself. First, some practical tips:

1. When choosing a character, it is better to immediately abandon technically complex, cinematic makeup: creating them requires certain experience, professional cosmetics and a lot of time. In addition, under too thick a layer of cosmetics, it will be difficult for the skin to breathe throughout the holiday party. Therefore, technically simple, but effective and bright makeup should be preferred.
2. Before using special makeup cosmetics, you should check it for allergic reactions by applying a little to the inside of your wrist. If after an hour the allergy does not appear, then cosmetics can be safely used on the face. But before doing makeup, it is better to put on a costume, because then parts of the clothes can ruin the makeup, and you will have to start all over again.
3. In order for cosmetics to stay on your face longer, you can use a special makeup fixing spray. Instead, good old baby powder is also suitable, which is used to lightly treat the face after the end of the make-up.
4. If you plan to attach additional details to the skin that emphasize the image (warts, false nose, scars, chin, etc.), then this must be done before applying the foundation. It is advisable to dry each layer of makeup thoroughly, for example, with cold air from a hairdryer or fan.
5. It would be a good idea to first draw the intended image on plain paper in order to clearly understand the order of applying lines and colors, and at the same time train your hand and remember the main stages of makeup. Let's look at the most successful and simple ways to apply makeup for Halloween.

1. Stitched mouth

This is perhaps one of the simplest makeup tricks that can be used to create various Halloween looks. A sewn-up mouth can easily become part of the makeup of a skeleton, a monster doll, a zombie, a ghost, or an independent thematic feature. The trick can be performed in different ways. The simplest: on a white base, draw vertical seams across the lips with black eyeliner.

For authenticity, real threads will be useful. But first, use eyeliner to mark dots above the upper and lower lips. Eyelash glue is applied over these points, with the help of which pre-prepared small pieces (no more than 3 cm long) of thread are secured. To make them stick better, they are secured on top with liquid latex.

2. An animated doll

Everyone imagines the image of a scary doll in their own way. But the easiest way is to create makeup for him, focusing on the eyes and lips. Using a layer of white pencil increases the size of the eyes. Having generously outlined the resulting eye line with a black pencil, you need to glue large false eyelashes along it.

Natural eyebrows are hidden under a layer of makeup base and bleached with powder. Two thick black stripes are painted on top of them. If desired, black eyeliner can be used to add tears, a sewn-up mouth, or stripes extending from the eyes or lips. Rich pink blush on the cheeks and bright lipstick complete the look.

3. Sinister Clown

Due to the increased popularity of bloodthirsty clowns in movies, these characters are increasingly appearing at Halloween masquerades. If you want to try it on yourself, then first you should apply regular clown makeup on your face, and then adjust some of its details, giving the image the necessary accents. The asymmetry technique works especially well: for example, one eye can be made large and irregular with the help of black shadows and eyeliner by adding a colored lens. Or smear one of the corners of your mouth with red lipstick to represent a bruise.

A very simple option: generously highlight your eyes with black shadows and draw out your lips with bright red lipstick on a white background.

4. Vampire grin

One of the most popular and attractive characters at many masquerades is the vampire. It is chosen by both female and male representatives. It is important to remember that the surface of the face in this makeup should be almost flawless, smooth and pale.

In addition to false fangs and deathly pale skin, it is necessary to emphasize the eyes and, of course, the mouth with the remains of the blood of the vampire’s victim. Black eyeliner, lipstick and lip pencil in bright red shades, and the lightest possible powder will be used.

5. Bloodthirsty Zombie

It is quite difficult to create professional makeup for corpses that have risen from the graves. It is hardly possible to do without layers of artificial skin, blood, additional pads and special cosmetics. But for home make-up, the task can be simplified a little. To emphasize flaky, sagging skin, you need to apply light powder on top of the liquid makeup base, or, conversely, apply makeup paint on top of the powder or powder base. The effect of skin decomposition will help to show blurry transitions of shades of red, white, gray, black and green.

The easiest way to demonstrate the bloodthirsty nature of the makeup is to use artificial blood. If you don’t have it on hand, there is a simple homemade recipe: add grated fresh beets with water, cook, adding a spoonful of sugar and vinegar for rich color and thickness. You can safely decorate your costume and makeup with this mixture. For example, draw a bloody wound on the forehead, smear the mouth and neck area with artificial blood. Complete the look with black circles under the eyes and cloudy insert lenses.

6. Protruding veins

They can complement the makeup of different looks, but such veins look impressive on their own. You need to stock up on black and white eyeliner, black eyeliner, black and silver eye shadow. To begin, create a wide layer of eyeliner and dark shadows around the eye line. Silvery liquid shadows in the inner corner of the eyes and under the lower lash line will add special expressiveness to the look. Then up and down from the eyes, using a black and white pencil, you need to carefully draw fine lines of veins. Complete the look with black lipstick and eyebrows.

Veins can be drawn not only on the face, but also on the neck and other open areas of the body.

7. Pale Skeleton

Skeletal makeup suggests emphasized geometry and strict lines. From the entire palette, two colors will be used: black and white. It is enough to highlight the black eye sockets, the tip of the nose and the corners of the mouth on a bright white base. Instead of carefully drawing the jaw, you can use the “sewn up mouth” technique. It is logical to continue the makeup in the neck area, emphasizing the line of the spine.

In a suit, it is original to use two T-shirts - white on top of black, or vice versa. But first, on the T-shirt that will be on top, you need to cut lines imitating a human skeleton.

8. Mysterious Ghost

A terrifying girl from a well, a lonely guardian of an abandoned house or the ghost of an old witch... - these images will also be appropriate for the All Saints Day holiday. Unlike zombies, the makeup here is much simpler. On a white or pale gray base, accents are made on the eyes, black eyebrows and lips. You can create the effect of dark circles under the eyes by shading black eyeliner or eyeliner. The look will be complemented by colored lenses in blue, black or dull gray shades.

9. Unzipping Face

This is a real trend among fans of scary makeup. Thanks to the neatly glued zipper to the face, the effect of unfastened skin is created, from under which bare muscles peek out. To begin with, you should choose a zipper that fits the size of your face and determine which part of the face will be bloody and which part will be normal. Then, using special glue made from mastic or liquid latex, you need to attach the zipper to the face and seal its fabric edges with napkins.

Red face painting is generously applied to the part of the face that will be bloodied. To add texture, this is done with a sponge or napkin. Faux blood and a little dark paint are added on top of the paint to make it more convincing. Using a zipper, you can reveal only a small part of the face: for example, one eye or just the mouth.

10. Swamp Witch

Getting the look of a witch is quite easy - you just need to enhance the dark shades in your eye and mouth makeup. But often at traditional Halloween masquerades there is an image of a swamp witch, differing from the usual one by the presence of green skin. To create such makeup, you will need to use green aqua paint as a base on the entire face and neck (and ideally on all open areas of the body). On top of it, eyes, eyebrows and lips are outlined in black or purple. If desired, you can draw a wart on your nose.

“Two-faced” makeup will look original when the face is divided into exactly two halves: regular and painted green. Dark purple lips and eye shadow can bring both sides of the face together. It is better to use green shadows on a flesh-colored background, and purple shadows on a green background.
