Have you ever been in a situation where you spent time thinking about the perfect Halloween costume? I’ll check Amazon Prime, but is the latest delivery on November 2nd? Trust me, we were all there.
Don’t panic! The secret to the Halloween look that stops the show is often in their face (and perhaps festive nails?) rather than in their outfits. A few important makeup products, a little creativity, in a few minutes, you can turn yourself into a character without having any outfits at all. Here are 7 quick and easy Halloween makeup ideas that will save you a day and make you look like you’re planning it all the time.
#1. Classic skeleton
Skeleton Look is a classic Halloween staple for a reason. It’s unique, dramatic and surprisingly easy to create! You will need a black eyeliner (pencils or liquid), black eyeshadow, and white face paint.
How to do it: Create a pale white base for a last-minute Halloween look with a white face grease paint. Next, use a black eyeliner to outline your eye socket, nose and teeth. Fill your eye socket and nose with black eyeshadow.
For teeth, draw a vertical line on the lips and connect them to the chin and cheek to create a chin-like effect. Try to cover this area with grey or blended black eyeshadow under the cheekbones and sink more.
#2. Pop art comic characters
I remember how hot the pop art comic make-up looked in 2014! The guru of all beauty has tried to create their own unique version of this look, but yours will be so good, I’m sure! Why not try changing yourself to a walking comic book? All you need for this makeup is a good liquid eyeliner (black and white), red lipstick, and a lovely, full coverage foundation for a perfect base.
How to do it: Create highlights on the nose and cheekbones using white eyeliner. Contours thick black eyeliner on the eyebrows, nose and chin lines. Use a black liner to draw a line under the chin, creating a dramatic jaw shadow. For distinctive comic book dots, use red lipstick or face paint to make small, even dots on your cheeks and forehead. You can use fingers and stamping tools to assist with your tasks. Finish with a clear black outline on your lips.
#3. Mysterious Forest Fairy
The next look is my favorite. This mysterious faux creature has a seductive atmosphere and beautiful, sparkling makeup! What do you think it’s necessary to get this Halloween makeup? Have a sparkling eyeshadow (green, purple, blue), glitter, pale pink or purple blush. Use your favorite lip gloss for your lips.
How to do it: Apply the sparkling color of your choice, from the entire eyelids to the brow bones. Blend seamlessly. Use eyelash adhesive to apply sparkles to your cheekbones and around your eyes. If you have extra time, you can also try to create a wing shape around it. Add light blushing dust to the apple on your cheeks and a highlighter touch to the nose and brow bones. If you have small flowers or leaves, you can glue them to the hairline with spirit gum or eyelash adhesive.
#4. The rough goth vampire
If Fairycore isn’t your aesthetic, go for the elegant and slightly creepy vampire! You can’t make a mistake with the look of a Halloween vampire, right? Plus, this is the best last minute option if you want to have a free time of less than 5 minutes. Prepare deep red or black lipstick, black eyeshadow, light foundation.
How to do it: Start with a very pale foundation. Use black or dark purple eyeshadow to ring your cheekbones and temples to ga dramatic ga. Arrange your eyes with dirty black eyeliner. The key to this appearance is the lips. Use a dark red or black lipstick to make sure the edges are sharp. For its blood absorption effect, lip gloss or specially made fake blood products can be used to create small drips in the corners of your mouth.
#5. A creepy clown
If you’re a fan of Stephen King’s iconic IT movies or are planning on watching a new welcome show to Delhi, the creepy clown look might be the perfect Halloween costume for you. Whether you want to recreate the classic Bill Skarsgård look or create your own version, you’ll need some important items, such as red and black face paint or eyeshadow, white face paint, lipstick, and more.
How to do it: Apply a white base to your face. For creepy clowns, use black eyeshadow to create a large, elongated diamond shape around one or both eyes. Using red face paint or lipstick, draw a large, exaggerated smile spreading from one cheek to the other. You can add a red circle to the nose and a small tear shape under one eye. The more incomplete and dirty the lines, the more eerie the effect will be.
#6. Glitchy TV Static
This is a modern, unique and surprisingly simple look that plays out with a cool optical illusion. The final result here relies solely on creativity, not on makeup skills, so be free with artistic expression! Get black, white, or gray face paint or eyeshadow for the look.
How to do it: Create a base with white face paint. Create a statically similar random, jagged lines and shapes throughout the face using a mixture of black and gray paints. Don’t worry about being perfect. The more troublesome and more confusing, the better. You can also use small brushes to create small “pixels” with black and white dots. The trick is to create dynamic, uneven patterns that appear to be moving.
#7. Fake Animal Face
And for dessert, I picked up the good old animal look. Are you a Quadrovic lover or furry? Who knows, it looks simple and fast, and doesn’t require any skills. Therefore, you will not have a hard time creating it at the very end. Cats are the most common, but this can be easily adapted to foxes, deer or bears. What you need: black eyeliner (liquid or pencil), brown or black eyeshadow, highlighter.
How to do it: Draw a line from the tip of your nose to the Cupid’s bow and fill it with black. Add a black dot to the tip of your nose. Draw a whisker on your cheeks with short, thin lines. Using brown or black eyeshadow, create a smoky look around the eyes, spread it out into the temple in search of a cat-like shape. Use a highlighter on the brow bone and nose bridge to finish off your skin. Add small lines and dots above the brows to mimic the texture of the animal’s fur.
Conclusion…
Don’t let the missing outfit stop you from becoming a Halloween party star. Even if it was your last minute choice, people certainly appreciate that you are trying to fit into the Halloween aesthetic. Hopefully these quick make-up ideas will inspire your creativity and allow you to change yourself for a night of eerie fun.
