Simple make-up for Halloween

Halloween makeup done on All Hallows' Eve is a Western tradition. But in other countries, this carnival has already acquired its place among youth holidays. Parties dedicated to this holiday are a great chance to reincarnate and show yourself from a new, frightening and creepy side.

Halloween Makeup 2018

Halloween makeup for girls 2018 can be called extremely bright and bold. This is evidenced by the accents placed last year:

1. The most popular images are girls from pop art posters and printing publications, images of Mexican carnivals and various mythological creatures.
2. Kind and bright heroes will also have a place at the party, so an angel costume with shimmering makeup will be a real find.

1. deliberately pale, making the face bloodless;
2. bright evening make-up, with exaggerated drawing of the contours of the face;
3. Easy makeup for Halloween without using theatrical makeup products is possible without special artistic skills. In such images, the emphasis is on the costume.

1. makeup for Halloween zombies, devils, old porcelain dolls, queens of spades and dead brides;
2. terrible makeup cannot be created only with the help of decorative cosmetics, even the most pigmented ones. To enhance the effect, you should use creamy makeup.

1. The most original and unusual image is considered to be in the pop art style, as if straight from a poster. This is a bright make-up with elements of makeup and the use of such unusual colors as blue, bright purple, red, green and black outline.
2. For several seasons in a row, Harley Quinn's Halloween makeup has continued to remain relevant.
3. Another unusual and original image includes masks from the Mexican carnival. This Halloween makeup is created using cosmetics and theatrical makeup.

1. the image of a dead bride, a dark woman or the queen of spades, a devil, a broken doll, a witch, an angel and a mermaid;
2. Animalistic makeup of a cat and bat is popular;
3. one of the most striking is the bow, based on Mexican folklore;
4. Details such as contouring in the form of skull bones, painted scars, dark lining of the eyes and makeup that imitates all kinds of defects are welcome.

1. These could be dark nuns and women with devil horns, or just an image of death. In any case, great emphasis is placed on makeup for Halloween.
2. The use of colored contact lenses is permitted. The devil may have red eyes, then her complexion is evened out, cheekbones and a clear line of eyebrows are drawn, and her lips are painted brightly. This is what characterizes vampire makeup for Halloween.
3. When using dark and black lenses without pupils and irises, a pale complexion and lips would be appropriate, but the eyelids are shaded with dark shadows; it is possible to draw the inside of the lips with a bright red print, which will give a bloodthirsty look to the image of the she-devil.

1. It can emphasize those aspects of nature that in ordinary life were not brought to the fore: sexuality, hidden aggression, the nature of a predator and huntress, hidden by a sly look.
2. A careful drawing of the cat's gaze is relevant; the outer corners of the eyes are drawn out with the help of shadows or arrows; you can complement the playfulness of the look with long false eyelashes.
3. You can make your cat's Halloween makeup recognizable by using makeup paints to paint the cat's thin whiskers and pink nose.
4. The image of a catwoman is complemented by a properly selected costume and ears. Such a bow is unlikely to turn out scary or even creepy, but it will demonstrate one of the facets of the character of the woman who chose it.

1. Should repeat the main accents of a porcelain face: fair skin, small bow lips, thin eyebrows and long eyelashes.
2. You should pay great attention to the development of eyelashes; you can use false eyelashes.
3. The lips are deliberately drawn smaller, their contours are clearly highlighted.
4. There is a characteristic blush on the cheeks, which undergoes minimal shading.
5. The face can be emphasized with small curls, neatly twisted around the forehead line.
6. The doll's Halloween makeup can be emphasized using makeup and mini-cracks can be drawn on the forehead or cheeks, repeating the cracks on the surface of the porcelain.

Bride's Halloween Makeup

The corpse of the bride is one of the popular scary images of Western folklore. According to legend, the buried bride in her wedding attire rises from the grave and pursues the still living groom. But the image of the groom’s corpse is also paired with it. When creating the “Corpse Bride” makeup for Halloween, you can show off all the flights of your imagination:

1. The makeup should be sinister and frightening, which can be easily achieved with the help of unnatural pallor, facial contouring, emphasizing the natural protrusions and depressions of the human skull.
2. Pale lips and dark-colored eyelids are trendy.
3. Among other things, you can use a print, applied silicone elements for makeup, or manually draw details on the forehead or cheeks that imitate decayed flesh.
4. Keeping in mind that this is a bridal look, the femininity of the look can be emphasized with the help of long false eyelashes.

Mermaid Halloween Makeup

The image of a mermaid is very feminine. It goes with cute makeup for Halloween, but for celebrations it should be made more frightening and creepy:

1. You can take the easy route and try on the makeup of the Disney little mermaid and her image, but you can really stand out at a party only by turning yourself into a real mermaid, a drowned woman, or the daughter of a sea king. Not only an azure-colored wig with long straight hair will help with this.
2. Characterized by severe pallor, the lips are not just pale, but bluish-white.
3. You can make your eyes very bright using false eyelashes and bright glitter eyeshadow, but don't use blush or overly contour.
4. The face of a real mermaid should be almost transparently pale with carefully highlighted eyes.

1. Like other Halloween images associated with evil spirits and dark spirits, bat makeup is done using a very light-colored foundation.
2. Among other things, you can highlight your eyes with bright dark shadows and paint your lips with bright red lipstick, you can even use glossy gloss to create the appearance of lips wet with blood.
3. If you use makeup elements, you can additionally draw droplets of blood flowing from the lips.

Halloween Witch Makeup

Witch presents the scariest Halloween makeup:

1. According to Western traditions, on All Hallows' Eve, witches summon evil spirits into this world and fly on brooms, brew potions in large cauldrons and wear pointed hats. The pumpkin and the pointed witch hat are two of the main symbols of Halloween.
2. Witch makeup can be roughly divided into two types: the old witch, whose face is covered with wrinkles, and the young, sexy and sinister witch.
3. In the first case, careful work with makeup is required. In the case of a young witch, the main thing is clear and beautiful facial contouring, bright lips, bright eye makeup and long eyelashes.

Pop art makeup for Halloween

Pop art is a fashionable makeup trend. This is the style of Western posters and posters, where faces are drawn with bright and thick lines, and typographic bright colors are used. You can create a spectacular and at the same time simple Halloween makeup for girls:

1. The main thing is to even out your face by applying a makeup base, matte long-lasting foundation and a layer of powder.
2. The eyebrows are artistically highlighted, as is the line of the lips, even the line of the nose can be drawn with strokes.
3. Pigmented shadows in rich shades of blue, red, and purple are widely used in this makeup. The color black acts as an outline for the facial features.

Angel Makeup for Halloween

The image of a party angel will stand out in contrast. On this night, according to Western traditions, dark forces come into conflict with the forces of light, which defeat rampant evil. Makeup and costume for Halloween can be created by an evil and terrifying fallen angel. But in contrast, a pure and bright angel will look great:

1. To do this, apply a little shimmer or shimmering gloss on the foundation in the cheekbones, around the eyes, this will create an angelic shimmer of the skin.
2. Cover your lips with glossy gloss in pink or nude shades.
3. You don’t have to highlight the eyebrow line; on the contrary, you can powder them and make them as pale as possible.
4. The eyes also do not need additional drawing; you can glue false eyelashes with a wet effect of sticky hairs.

1. Large roses on the head in the form of a wreath go perfectly with the somewhat unrealistic outline of the skull on the face.
2. The face is made up with a white or light base.
3. The area around the eyes is drawn in solid black, and the tip of the nose in the shape of a triangle is also highlighted in black.
4. Dark contouring of the cheekbones brings the look closer to traditional Mexican carnival masks.
5. On the face you can add an arbitrary pattern in the form of flowers or wavy lines made with black paint.

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 the 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 color transition 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?)

Any holiday or party is an occasion to try on an unusual make-up look. But if, for example, New Year's or wedding makeup still has its own unspoken rules, then Halloween makeup can be anything: eccentric, frightening or absolutely crazy. On All Hallows' Eve, we all feel a little like children - and we shouldn't suppress this feeling. Be bolder! And we will tell you how to extract maximum practical benefits from this mood. By the way, you can find some useful tips in the video below.

How to make Halloween makeup at home?

When creating complex makeup for Halloween, they often resort to the help of professional makeup. But it’s not at all necessary to buy a dozen special pigments for one image, which will then gather dust on the shelves. You can create original makeup for Halloween using regular makeup products. Read more about which ones you will need in this section.

What do you need to create makeup for Halloween? 5 means

Mascara that will help create the effect of spider legs, long-lasting blood-red lipstick to imitate bruises and a black liner that draws “dark” details - products that are sure to be found in any cosmetic bag. What else could be useful for a Halloween themed make-up?

If you only use nude eyeshadows and only allow yourself textures with shimmer on holidays, it's time to reconsider your habits. This palette of bright pink, purple and yellow shadows will not only be useful for creating a remarkable Halloween look, but it may also encourage you to experiment with makeup in your everyday life. With its help you can create, for example, fashionable eye makeup in red or pink tones. By the way, a smokey eye palette will also come in handy - what would Halloween be without black eye shadow?

You will need it if you want to create a romantic, rather than scary, look for Halloween. Why not become a forest nymph, mermaid or fairy fairy for one night? Adding a little glitter to your look is the easiest way to make your makeup festive, so don’t put the jar away: New Year is just around the corner.

We don’t get tired of singing odes to this magical make-up product – and we won’t stop until the make-up base is in every cosmetic bag. Use primers for the face and eyelids so that your Halloween makeup is frightening in its authenticity, and not in the fact that it runs an hour after the party starts.

Dashingly raised “devilish” arrows, freckles like Pippi Longstocking - all this is painted with eyeliner, which can be found in most beauty brands (take a closer look at the versions from the YSL, NYX Professional Makeup and Maybelline collections). And this product will definitely not sit idle in your makeup bag when Halloween passes. In everyday life, you can use colored eyeliner to draw fashionable bright arrows for the eyelids.

Still haven't gotten yourself a set of good makeup brushes? A Halloween party is a great excuse to do that important task that you've been putting off for a long time. Explore our detailed beauty dossier on makeup brushes to create the perfect basic set for yourself.

5 Halloween Makeup Tips

Remember these simple makeup tricks that will come in handy when creating truly scary Halloween looks.

10 Easy and Simple Halloween Makeup Ideas

Before we start discussing the really difficult – and scary! – images, we suggest looking at a selection of make-up solutions that will help you create an interesting thematic make-up without extra effort.

Paint your lips with a thick foundation that is a tone lighter than your skin. Cut out a lip-shaped shape from thick paper, place it on your cheek and outline it with a permanent pencil. Fill in the empty space with long-lasting matte lipstick. Ready!

Bright shadows with strong shimmer, applied right up to the eyebrows, plus a juicy glossy lip gloss will make you the queen of the dance floor in no time.

One of the most fashionable trends of recent years is bright freckles, which can be “worn” not only in the sunny season: this beauty trick is also useful for Halloween. Apply a little loose glitter to your face, mark freckles with a pencil (we showed how to do this here) or instead of regular dots, draw hearts, as in the picture.

Barbie is the last thing on your mind when it comes to Halloween. But why not, for the sake of variety, try on the most doll-like look of all time? Paint your lips with bright pink glossy lipstick, apply purple eye shadow to your eyes and blend it into a haze (for example, like in this video). Draw a classic arrow with black eyeliner and thickly coat your eyelashes with mascara.

Under the lower eyelids, blend shadows with a bronze tint, and use them to highlight the inner corners of the eyes. Paint your lips with brick red lipstick, add a little golden glitter to them (to create a similar lip makeup, see our photo instructions). Cover your entire face generously with shining loose glitter, and set your makeup with a setting spray.

This ironic make-up look is accessible even to those who find mascara difficult to use. Use an eyeliner to draw dotted lines, then outline them with long-lasting black eyeliner. Apply matte red lipstick to your lips. Of course, this kind of makeup looks more impressive with clear arrows, but you can do without them.

The author of this image calls for silence, but you can write your own message on the motionless eyelid. It’s okay if the inscription is not too smooth, the main thing is to design it so that it is easy to read.

The superhero costume is traditionally one of the most popular at Halloween parties. Why not experiment with makeup? This bright version of the “superhero mask” will definitely attract everyone's attention!

Another interesting option for using colored eyeliner. To draw David Bowie's signature lightning bolt on your face, use paper tape. Use it to mark the boundaries of the drawing, and then it’s up to you.

Halloween is a holiday during which you need to overcome your fears. What do girls fear most? That's right, smudged lipstick. It's time to look this fear squarely in the face!
