Halloween is makeup’s best friend. From glam ghosts to bloody babes, men and women have gone to the extreme in their spooky creations. In need of a costume? These five makeup looks are affordable and amazing! A few tips for when you are recreating one of these looks:
- Drug store makeup works just as well as high end makeup. Do not go spend a lot of money on expensive products you’ll never use again. Instead, try to find something similar at the drug store and work with it.
- Your look isn’t supposed to be perfect. Don’t get frustrated if your lines aren’t straight or your blending isn’t perfect because let’s be honest, when is your eyeliner ever symmetrical?
- Be patient. Make sure you give yourself enough time to do everything you want to, so you aren’t rushing.
Trend #1: Skeleton
This is possibly the most common trend around. Transforming into a skull screams Halloween. Some people paint their entire bodies as a skeleton but there are ways to make it easier. Only do part of your face to give a cool illusion. This requires less paint, less time and you can customize it however you want.
Trend #2: Sugar Skull
This trend is like the first trend, but it is much more colorful. The use of complementary colors makes facial features pop. Add some glitter to the eyes and lips for a full glam effect.
Trend #3: Comic Book Character
I love when women turned themselves into the comic book version of Wonder Woman. This look is so simple and you could get away with using your everyday makeup and a black eyeliner pencil.
Trend #4: Wednesday Addams
This is a super adorable look, and everyone loves the Addams family. Super simple application and make sure you find a white setting powder to give the ghostly pale effect.
Trend #5: Vampire
Love doing a smokey eye? Then this is look for you. Pair a dark eye with a deep red or burgundy lip. Run that lipstick down toward your chin and jawline for a creepy finish. You can even make fake blood to make the effect more intense.
