Every year, stars pull out all the stops for Halloween, using makeup to become entirely new characters. These transformations are more than just costumes; they’re a form of artistry. Whether you’re aiming for a simple, cute look or a full-on scary transformation, looking to the stars is a great starting point. This guide will walk you through some of the most memorable celebrity Halloween makeup looks and show you how to get them yourself with products from our curated collection.
Vanessa Hudgens is known as the queen of Halloween, and her Black Widow look is a perfect example of why. It’s a powerful, vampy, and sultry style that relies on flawless skin and a killer dark lip. This look is all about creating a strong, sculpted base and letting your lips do the talking.
How to get the look:
A long-lasting look starts with the right prep. Begin by applying e.l.f. Power Grip Primer to ensure your foundation stays put all night. For that sculpted, airbrushed finish, use Hourglass® Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer to highlight and contour, blending it seamlessly. The key to this look is the deep, dramatic lip. A rich, dark red or berry shade, like the Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm in Cherry, will give you that vampy pout.
Megan Thee Stallion’s love for anime shines through in her Halloween costumes, and her take on Yumeko Jabami from Kakegurui was a masterpiece. This look combines classic anime features—large, expressive eyes and a sharp, defined face—with a touch of glamour. It’s a great choice if you’re looking for a cute Halloween makeup idea that’s also incredibly striking.
How to get the look:
To capture those iconic anime eyes, you’ll need a precise eyeliner and a mascara that delivers length and volume, like the Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High® Mascara New York. For the lips, a soft tint is all you need. The rhode Peptide Lip Tint in Ribbon provides a delicate, rosy hue that completes the look without overpowering the eyes. Keep your skin hydrated and glowing with a final touch of Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil for a glossy finish.
Adele channeled the chic and spooky matriarch of the Addams family, Morticia. This look is timelessly elegant with a gothic twist. It features sharp contouring, smoky eyes, and a neutral-toned lip, proving that scary Halloween makeup can also be sophisticated.
How to get the look:
The key to Morticia’s look is a chiseled, almost ethereal complexion. Use a lighter shade of Hourglass® Vanish™ Airbrush Concealer to highlight the high points of your face and a deeper shade to create shadows. Set everything with Hourglass® Vanish Airbrush Pressed Powder for a matte, flawless finish. For the eyes, a smoky look is essential. While the lips are more subdued, they need to be perfect. A shade like Summer Fridays Dream Lip Oil in Soft Mauve offers a subtle, sophisticated color.
Ice Spice’s transformation into the classic cartoon character Betty Boop was an instant hit. This is an easy Halloween makeup look to recreate, focusing on doll-like eyes, pencil-thin brows, and a signature red pout. It’s a fun, retro costume that’s both recognizable and charming.
How to get the look:
Betty Boop’s look is all about the details. Use a bold liquid liner to create a winged eye and apply multiple coats of Maybelline Lash Sensational Sky High® Mascara to your top and bottom lashes for that wide-eyed effect. The lips are the star of the show. You’ll need a vibrant, true red. A product like Milk Makeup Cooling Water Jelly Tint in Chill – Red can provide a long-lasting stain that you can top with a clear gloss. To keep your lips hydrated under the bold color, prep them with Pixi +Hydra Lip Treat.
No celebrity Halloween makeup list is complete without mentioning Heidi Klum. Her peacock costume was a theatrical work of art, involving intricate prosthetics and stunning colors. While recreating the full look might require a professional makeup artist, you can draw inspiration from the vibrant colors and glittery details.
How to get the look:
Focus on the eyes and incorporate jewel tones like blues, greens, and golds. A colorful eyeshadow palette is a must for this. For a touch of glam that captures the peacock’s iridescence, use a sheer, shimmery product like the Pixi On-the-Glow Blush in Juicy on your cheeks for a dewy pop of color. To add some fun and flavor to your look, the Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil in Mango Passion Punch provides a hint of shine and a tropical scent.
