Top 10 Hallowe’en Makeup Tutorials

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Exeter chapter.

So you’ve bought your tickets for a Hallowe’en night out, decided who you will go as, but you’re still unsure how to create the look without spending a fortune. Well, here at Her Campus, we’ve been searching over the Web for the best make-up tutorials around. From sweet mermaids, to scary Jokers or sexy Cat Woman, here are the best ways to turn into your chosen character for the night. 

 

1. Joker

 

Pulling off this look can be hard as a girl, but we think this video shows you how to do it and is great if you want to go all-out this Hallowe’en. 

 

 

2. Mermaid

 

If you don’t love the idea of going as something scary this Hallowe’en then why not try the Mermaid look? This tutorial shows you how to create pretty but dramatic eye make-up perfect for a girly take on Hallowe’en. 

 

 

3. Creepy Doll

 

Looking for something scary, and a little different? Going as a creepy doll may just be for you. This tutorial shows you how to create the look with all the make-up you have at home, plus some fake eye-lashes. Be warned though, your friends may not recognise you with this look.

If you secretly still love the days of vampires and Twilight then going as a Vampire Princess will suit you. This tutorial uses dramatic ways of re-drawing eyebrows and smokey eyes to create a sexy and scary look perfect for a Hallowe’en look in the clubs. 

 

 

5. Marilyn Monroe

 

Lisa Eldridge, makeup artist to the stars, has created a Marilyn Monroe look which surprisingly may also provide you with some make-up tips for your normal going-out look. Check out Lisa’s videos on red lips and smokey eyes for other Hallowe’en make-up tips.
