Among all the Halloween characters, the easiest one to transform into is a vampire. This image does not require a lot of makeup or a special costume. Vampires from films and books most often dress in the spirit of their time or prefer Gothic and Victorian styles. Therefore, all we need is a black dress and suitable accessories, and so that no one doubts our nocturnal origin, we will do makeup in the style of a vampire.
Dress and costume for the look of a vampire
In some films, vampires prefer leather trousers and corsets, or even leather suits - overalls with many details. These costumes look impressive, but unless you have leather pants and a corset, you probably won't buy them for your Halloween party.
We will start from more accessible options:
1. Black dress. A black floor-length or midi-length dress is best. A Victorian-style dress would be ideal; you can rent one.
2. A white blouse with a black lace collar and a black skirt will also fit into the image of a vampire. If the skirt is leather, the look will be even better, because leather adds a special energy.
3. A common element of the vampire image is the cape. Nowadays, a variety of capes are in fashion; go shopping and perhaps you will find a cape that is perfect for a holiday and then useful for everyday life. If not, you can sew a vampire cloak yourself from a piece of black fabric. The fabric gathers in folds in the neck area and is held in place by ties.
4. Accessories. Boots or shoes with elegant stilettos, a wide leather belt, ideally a corset belt, lace gloves, a ring with a black or red stone. But it’s best not to overload the look with many accessories, but to wear a lace choker; it will fit perfectly into our look.
Vampire Halloween Makeup
The Halloween vampire look involves a pale complexion with contrasting eyes and lips. At the same time, you don’t have to limit yourself in makeup; we paint our lips with bright red lipstick and do black eye makeup.
You can use the traditional smoky-eyes makeup technique, making the eyes very dark and expressive, or you can step by step paint the upper eyelid with black, purple and burgundy shadows. All these colors fit perfectly into dark gothic images.
Don't forget about the lower eyelid. Vampire makeup for Halloween does not impose strict rules. You can line your eyelid with a black liner or shade dark shadows throughout the area around the eyes. And if you want, draw a cobweb with a thin pencil, it looks very original. Experiment, take photos and then compare which makeup is better, that’s what we do for the holiday.

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 use a black or red pencil, 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.
