Halloween might look a bit different this year, but the fun in dressing up as someone else for a night doesn’t change! October is a hectic time though, and sometimes a costume slips our minds. Have no fear, a bunch of very talented artists have taken the time to do some pretty rad looks, and one of these ideas is bound to be your Halloween costume this year!

Devil

This look by @evyxo_ is beautiful and is sure to turn heads everywhere you go! It is a classic you can never go wrong with. Try pairing it with black jeans and a leather jacket!

Devil, but easier.

If the devil look above is a bit out of your comfort zone, this look by @caitlinrraine is for you! This one is simple but still daring. Just like the other devil, an all black outfit is a classic way to style this makeup look. 

Angel

If devil makeup is not your speed, maybe this simple look by @chloeandcosmetics might be! It is soft and simple, yet so pretty. To style, pair it with a simple white dress, or a white top and blue jeans!

Clown

This look by @carlycosmetics_ is clown meets cute and I am all here for it, and it can be styled with pretty much anything. I suggest something colorful and bright! 

Pumpkin

Also by @carlycosmetics_ is this awesome pumpkin look! What else screams Halloween? To style it, pop on an orange shirt and some black jeans. 

Spider (Eyes)

This look by @makeupandpink ’s beauty scared me away just as much as spiders do. This one can also be styled any way you’d like, but adding a pop of color like purple or red will make it stand out even more. 

Skull

Skull makeup looks are a classic. Check out this one by @zoe.ellen.mua. You can play with the colors you choose to incorporate and make it your own. 

Blood Splatter

This look by @rubygraham.mua is one of the easiest on this list! The base makeup is completely up to you, and you can do so much with it. The same goes with outfits, but a red outfit would complete the look!

Bat (Liner)

If you’re really running late on Halloween, this look by @abbyroberts is the one for you! It is quick, easy, and gives you lots of freedom with the rest of your makeup.

Coraline’s Other Mother

Coraline is a spooky season classic, and I think we can all agree her other mother embodies scary. Get her look with @rebeccaseals creation! Turtlenecks have also been all the rave lately, and I’m sure mom jeans have made their way into your closet.

Coraline

Still mad at the other mother? With this look by @abbyroberts, you can be the queen herself. Coraline wore several outfits throughout the movie, but a yellow raincoat and matching boots is the most famous one!

Sally from “The Nightmare Before Christmas”

Also by @rebeccaseals is this iconic Sally look. “Blue” them all away and recreate it on Halloween. Her distressed dress might be hard to find with late notice, but any color will do. 

 

A (not so) Old Lady

Take a glimpse into your future with this look by @makeuppbyruthie. Be sure to check out her page because her Halloween looks are endless! For your outfit, you could dress like an old lady or wear whatever you already are! How easy is that?

Cat

This kitty look by @indigotohell is so cute! The cat ears are optional, but a black top and bottoms will bring this look to the next level. Meow. 

Cow

Cow print has been EVERYWHERE lately. WIth @cakedbykelsey, it can be on your face. Try a pink top and some brown pants to complete the look.

Candy Corn

@cakedbykelsey also brings us this sweet look! To go the extra mile, try an orange top with white pants!

Wonder Woman

I think I might go with this superhero look by @cakedbykelsey. I love it! You may not have her armour on hand, but you’ll be a warrior no matter what you wear. 

Mask

Though you’ll definitely be wearing a face mask on Halloween, give the word a spin with this super creative look by @paintedmina. This look is super versatile, and can be dressed up or dressed down.

Genie

Check out this artistry by @itszaybaybay. I am speechless. For this one, anything blue will do! 

Joker

This look by @sachacvl is a classic. I love it. Style it with a fun blazer, and don’t forget the green hair.

No matter what Halloween looks like this year, be sure to get glammed up and make the best of it. Let us know which of these looks you end up trying!
