Halloween is the one time of year you can truly transform yourself. Whether you’re aiming for scary, glam, or cute, the right makeup can make or break your costume. From simple looks for beginners to intricate designs for the pros, we have the ultimate guide to Halloween makeup ideas.
At Mimic Makeup, we believe beauty is about empowerment and self-expression. This Halloween, we want to help you create any look you can imagine, from a terrifying zombie to a glamorous witch. Let’s dive into some frighteningly good makeup ideas, tips, and the essential products you’ll need from our collection to bring your vision to life.
Before you start painting, it’s crucial to prep your skin. A good base ensures your makeup applies smoothly and, more importantly, stays put all night long. No one wants their zombie face melting off before the party ends.
First, start with a clean, moisturized face. Then, apply a high-quality primer. A gripping primer like the e.l.f. Power Grip Primer is perfect for creating a tacky base that holds onto your makeup. This step is essential whether you’re doing a simple cat face or a full-on SFX creation.
Once your masterpiece is complete, lock it in with a setting powder and spray. This will prevent smudging, fading, and transferring, keeping you picture-perfect through all the Halloween festivities.
You don’t need to be a professional makeup artist to create a standout look. These simple Halloween makeup ideas are perfect for beginners or anyone short on time.
A cat costume is a classic for a reason—it’s easy and always looks good. All you need is a good black eyeliner. Use it to draw a sharp wing, extend the inner corner of your eye, and draw on a cute nose and whiskers. Pair it with a nude lip or a bold red for a touch of glam.
For a sweet and simple scarecrow look, use warm-toned eyeshadows in orange and brown. Create patches on your cheeks and nose. Use a black liner to draw stitched lines over the patches and extend the corners of your mouth. A little glitter on the lids can add a touch of magic.
A half-skeleton face is an easy way to achieve a scary Halloween makeup look without covering your entire face. Use black eyeshadow or face paint to hollow out your cheeks and the area around one eye. Then, use a fine-tipped black liner to draw teeth lines from the corner of your mouth out to your cheek. It’s a quick, high-impact look.
Ready to bring the horror? These scary makeup looks are sure to turn heads and send a few shivers down spines.
Zombie makeup is a Halloween staple. The key is to create a look of decay. Start with a light-colored foundation to give your skin a “dead” appearance. Use green, purple, and grey eyeshadows to create sunken cheeks and hollowed-out eyes.
For an extra gory effect, use fake blood around your mouth and on your neck. You can even use liquid latex to create the illusion of peeling skin or open wounds. This is a great opportunity to get creative with your Halloween makeup kit.
Clown makeup can range from cute to downright terrifying. For a scary clown, focus on sharp, exaggerated features. Use a bold, dark lipstick like a deep red or even black. Draw sharp, triangular shapes above and below your eyes. A popular trend is to use red face paint to draw a line from the corner of your mouth up your cheek.
Ghost makeup is more than just a white sheet. Create an ethereal, spooky look with a white base. Use grey and black eyeshadows to contour your face dramatically, making your features look sunken and gaunt. A smokey eye and a pale, nude lip complete this hauntingly beautiful look. For a modern twist, add some silver glitter or iridescent highlighter for a ghostly glow.
Who says Halloween has to be all guts and gore? These glam looks are perfect for those who want to stay chic while getting into the spooky spirit.
A vampire look is effortlessly cool and can be incredibly glamorous. Think smokey eyes, sharp contour, and a blood-red lip. To achieve the perfect pout, try a long-lasting liquid lipstick and add a touch of Gisou Honey Infused Lip Oil in the center for a plump, juicy look. A little fake blood dripping from the corner of your mouth is optional but highly encouraged.
Inspired by the iconic Disney villain, this look is all about bold colors. Use a purple body paint for your base, and contour with a darker purple or blue eyeshadow. Ursula’s signature look includes high, arched eyebrows and a vibrant red lip. This is a fun, theatrical look that allows you to play with color.
The Barbie trend is everywhere, and Halloween is no exception. Create a classic Barbie look with bright pink eyeshadow, winged liner, and a glossy pink lip. To give it a spooky twist, add some fake scars, a cracked-doll effect using eyeliner, or even some zombie-like contouring. It’s the perfect mix of pretty and scary.
