Halloween is a great opportunity for at least one evening to abandon the usual in favor of the extraordinary, out of the ordinary. This holiday you can do anything: not only do really bright makeup, but also completely transform yourself, trying on a creepy look from your favorite horror movie. Let's tell you more about creating a cool look that will allow you to celebrate Halloween at least fun.

You will find useful tricks in this video.

What to stock up on to create a Halloween look?

Halloween makeup is very different from standard makeup. Therefore, you will have to use significantly more cosmetics. Basic products, of course, will also be needed: foundation, lipstick, eye shadow (it’s best to have a large palette with several dozen shades like Born To Run from Urban Decay), eyeliner, fixing spray.

When it comes to additional beauty products, it’s a good idea to have either professional makeup on hand or cream pigments like SFX Créme Color from NYX Professional Makeup.

Loose pigments and glitter can be useful (one of the most popular options is Face&Body Glitter from the same brand). As for shades, you need to build on the image; True, there are also universal ones - blood is painted in red, and with the help of white they create the effect of deathly pallor.

Everything you need is unlikely to be limited to make-up products. Most likely, you will also need such things as bandages (tinted red, they will become part of the nurse’s costume) and threads to depict “sutured” wounds and cuts, false fangs (vampires cannot do without them), lenses with white, red or black pupils. In order not to find yourself at the right time without the necessary props, the image must be thought out in advance.

Bloody images for Halloween

Those who in everyday life gravitate towards delicate makeup in pastel colors often want to portray something frightening on Halloween. Don’t restrain yourself: fortunately, the range of “bloody” images is quite wide.

The standard option is makeup with a “naked” skull painted on the face. More creepy would be a make-up with the effect of skin being removed from parts of the face: this result can be achieved with the help of red cosmetics, which are used to imitate the appearance of blood.

1. A vampire

The vampire theme is a Halloween classic. By the way, it allows girls to remain feminine - make cat eye arrows, paint their lips with red or burgundy lipstick. But this does not exclude a deathly pale skin tone, bloody spots and smudges, colored lenses and fangs.

1. Zombie

A distinctive feature of this image is an unnatural blue-green tone, a “foggy” look (lenses will be needed again), makeup with lacerations and a grin with bloody stains. There can be many options - for example, zombie makeup can be combined with makeup of a skeleton or a dead bride. For inspiration, watch a couple of horror films about the zombie apocalypse or try to create an original image without relying on ready-made ideas from horror films.

A dead bride

This holiday heroine is characterized by a pale face with whitened lips, “empty” eyes and sunken cheekbones. There is also a place for bloody marks that make the image truly scary: they can be left on the face with red lipstick, smearing it with your fingers. To enhance the effect, the same marks can be left on the veil and white dress. Delicate details, such as flowers, will play well in contrast.

Step-by-step instructions for creating fun Halloween looks:

Beautiful images for Halloween

Despite the fact that Halloween masquerades are held for fun, not everyone likes to turn into a drowned woman or, for example, a victim of a zombie invasion, even for the sake of a joke. In this case, try to choose an image that will make you look attractive. Magnetic witches, villains, fantasy heroines - it’s not difficult to transform into them even with the help of ordinary cosmetics.

1. Nurse

On Halloween, you can’t expect help from nurses - their images are complemented by bloody bandages and syringes, and sometimes even saws/axes. It is these “accessories” that are important when choosing such a character. As for makeup, red lipstick and winged eyeliner are enough to create the effect of a “cat” look; To instill fear, the nurse will need red lenses - this small detail will immediately make the girl dangerous.

1. Geisha

Put on a kimono and pull your hair into a high bun, whiten your face, highlight your eyebrows with black and your lips with red - and the look of a geisha is ready. All that remains is to bring it into line with the requirements of Halloween. You can’t do without blood: complement the makeup with red spots. And to explain their appearance, arm yourself with something like a samurai sword.

1. Doll

On All Saints' Day, you rarely see a charming doll with big eyes and lips folded into a bow. A much more common option is a broken porcelain doll or, say, a doll with a crazy look, which has been possessed by an evil spirit (remember Annabelle from the popular film).

Don't be afraid to add scary accents - again, by simulating blood stains and wounds.

You can also complement the look with eye makeup in the Harlequin style.

However, if you make up with lipstick, eyeliner and false eyelashes, it is quite possible to maintain your attractiveness. You will find detailed instructions on how to create a doll's makeup in this video.

Face art will help add mystery to the image. You will need full-fledged makeup with a change in skin color to blue, purple or, for example, turquoise. Against this background, scales are painted using an unusual life hack: a mesh fabric is applied to the skin, and then either sprinkled with colored powder, or a denser and more durable paint is applied on top.

The image is also decorated with shells, pearl stickers and sequins that look like scales, glitter and other decorative elements.

1. Nun

Even the image of a nun on All Saints' Day does not look the most traditional way. The sight of this character should give you goosebumps. Crosses, images of stitched wounds, bloody spots, bruises, white pupils or, conversely, completely black eyes - this will turn a peaceful image into a terrifying one. Many people also try to make it sexy by replacing a long dress with a mini - it is worn in combination with mesh tights and heels, and the makeup is complemented with bright or very dark lipstick.

Angel

When you hear the phrase “angelic appearance,” you hardly imagine anything that even remotely relates to the celebration of Halloween. But in vain: angel-like creatures can look not just creepy, but truly scary. Take the classic “angelic” makeup from our video tutorial as a basis and complement it with “bruises”, “scars” and “bruises”.

Cool Halloween Looks

Becoming the heroes described above for one night will not be difficult - the means at hand will be enough for this. These images are typical for Halloween. But you can also think about a larger-scale transformation, only in this case you will also need a costume, which is not so easy to put together from what you usually have in your wardrobe.

A black robe with a hood and a braid are the basis of the costume. Makeup can be done in different ways: ominously whitening the skin or, on the contrary, painting the face black so that nothing is visible from under the hood. Black lenses will come in handy in this case - the result will scare anyone.

1. Black Swan

A ballet costume with a tutu and black pointe shoes (you can also add wings) sets the tone for the whole look. Suitable makeup is gothic: with pale skin, black accent on the eyes and burgundy, black or dark blue lipstick.

1. Calavera

The word "calavera" is translated as "sugar skull". This is one of the main symbols of the Mexican Day of the Dead. There it is considered a kind and bright holiday, during which loved ones who have passed away are remembered. Therefore, colorful calaveras, as a rule, look not so much creepy as beautiful. Skulls decorated in patterns with icing flowers are a traditional treat for Day of the Dead dinners and, more recently, inspiration for Halloween makeup.

And if you like animal themes, you will find a couple of ideas in the video below.

Stylish looks for Halloween

Needless to say, the choice of ideas for this masquerade is simply huge! Looking at photos of other costumes on the Internet, you understand that their original appearance is limited only by the author’s imagination. In addition, we can observe many truly vivid dark images in modern cinema. In fact, most of the costumes in demand during Halloween celebrations are exact copies of the outfits worn by the heroines of everyone’s favorite horror films.

A selection of the most original Halloween costumes

Now let's move on to the most interesting part - the original images. Here and now we will present to your attention the best ideas for costumes for the celebration of All Saints' Day. Among them you will find both long-loved outfits and new items that will certainly delight you.

Stylish women's looks for Halloween

Nurse costume

This is one of the most favorite Halloween looks for girls all over the world. An ultra-short white robe, bright lipstick, a hat with a red cross, fishnet stockings, high heels - even in the photo it all looks incredibly sexy and stylish.

Stylish nurse suit

But lately the trend is not just a nurse in a classic image, but a “bloody” nurse. The fashion for it appeared after the famous horror film “Silent Hill”. And although modern brave girls do not hide their faces behind layers of bandages, the short bloody robe was to the taste of many.

Bloody Nurse Costume

To create this creepy costume, which looks like the heroine has just left the operating room, fashionistas willingly stain themselves with red paint. And of course, it looks very impressive against a white background.

Recently, images of nurses in black and white and black and red have become fashionable. Essentially, everything is the same here, but instead of a white robe, the girls wear black latex suits with red or white crosses embroidered on them.

Witch

Of course, this is already a classic! Pointed hats, raincoats, original skirts or dresses, corsets, bright makeup - all this will help you create a memorable and creative image. Adjust the length of your outfit yourself, but remember that it will look especially impressive with high-heeled shoes or boots.

Well, what is a witch without the appropriate attributes? A magic wand, a broom (with a short handle, of course!), a deck of cards - all this will perfectly complement your outfit. And those who want to achieve maximum authenticity can attach brooches or small toys in the form of spiders and snakes to their costume. You'll see - you'll definitely make an impression!

A witch with her obligatory attribute

Although you shouldn't expect to create a truly scary image, being sweet and appropriate to the situation is a must.

For a “witcher” outfit, pay attention to lace and velvet. They combine perfectly with each other and make the suit harmonious.

Vampire

The image of a vampire for Halloween is also very relevant for girls who are fans of this theme. Moreover, it is perfectly done by hand, which means you can avoid additional costs for an expensive costume for a party.

The most original images for Halloween

So, if you have an original top or a daring black corset, a matching miniskirt, a cape or a raincoat in your wardrobe, then consider half the job done! Putting this on yourself, you will immediately turn into a sexy, daring, stylish... girl. But to become a real vampire, you need to apply the appropriate makeup.

1. Start with the color of the skin on your face - it should be deathly pale. After all, it is believed that vampires are nocturnal creatures and sunlight is, to put it mildly, harmful to them. So, no tanning!
2. Next are the eyes. They should be clearly highlighted with dark shadows. For greater effect, place circles under the lower eyelid or lightly smear mascara. And if you want to immerse yourself very deeply in the image, use also lenses, making the pupils blood red.
3. Lips. Of course, they must be wearing bright lipstick. It can be red, burgundy or black at your discretion. And if you “leave” a few drops of “blood” on your chin, you will get a very impressive vampire makeup.
4. Well, in conclusion: fangs. They can be if you have the desire to watch them all evening so that these teeth do not break off. Although many girls create a completely successful vampire image without them.

Catwoman image

Well, what Halloween party is complete without at least one girl dressed as a cat? After all, since the dazzling Halle Berry appeared on the screen in tight latex, this image has become a favorite among many representatives of the fair sex around the world. Cute ears, a charming tail that draws attention to the curves below the waist, a black mask - all these are distinctive details of the cat costume.

Catwoman - a stylish and simple look for Halloween

You can buy it at any of the online stores that sell Halloween outfits. The abundance of all kinds of models and styles will pleasantly surprise you.

Another important detail in this image is the face. It should either be hidden with a mask, in keeping with the genre, or put on proper Halloween makeup. By the way, this is very easy to do, the main thing is to practice beforehand.

Step-by-step creation of Catwoman makeup

1. First, cleanse your face and apply your regular foundation.
2. Next, highlight your cheekbones with dark brown or dark beige blush.
3. Now move on to the eyes. You can use light shadows as a basis, on which dark ones will be gradually applied. You can complete the eye makeup with arrows.
4. If such a desire arises, also paint the tip of your nose black, like a cat’s.
5. Next, do your lips. Choose the brightest lipstick in your arsenal and wear it.
6. Finish drawing the cat's face with whiskers. To depict them, you only need a black pencil.

That's it, now your cat image is completely ready!

The Catwoman costume is tight-fitting, so the lady wearing it must have a perfect figure. No protruding bellies or saggy sides - latex will highlight all the imperfections. Therefore, if you decide to appear at a masquerade in this particular image, but are not confident in yourself, go on a diet. There's still time!

Malvina

Surprisingly, this girl with blue hair, familiar to us from childhood, is also a frequent heroine at Halloween parties. Perhaps it’s all about the extraordinary brightness, because the image of Malvina is very remarkable and memorable. In a word, putting a blue wig on your head and wearing a dress of the same shade, you will definitely not go unnoticed!

A dead bride

Remember a few years ago a stunning cartoon of the same name was released on screens? So, after him, the costumes of the dead bride began to enjoy wild popularity! One of the biggest advantages of this Halloween look is that girls can easily do it with their own hands. To do this, you just need a white dress that you don’t mind, tulle that will serve as a veil, and proper makeup.

Dead Bride Costume

Start creating this unusual look with a makeup, and first of all, highlight the eyes. You can frighten yourself in different ways: draw deep wounds, bruises or a visible skeleton on open parts of the body.

If you really want to copy the image of the bride from the Tim Burton cartoon, then do not forget to purchase a special blue paint to cover all exposed skin with it.\
