6 Halloween makeup looks to inspire your spooky side

Halloween is the one night of the year when your beauty routine can get away with just about anything. A little too much eyeliner? Not a thing. Glitter everywhere? Encouraged.

Whether you're going for full-blown fright night or something a little more glamorous with a sinister twist, Halloween is the perfect excuse to have some fun with your makeup bag. And the best part? You don't need a professional makeup artist or hours in front of the mirror to pull off a look worth talking about. From dark, dramatic eyes to playful pops of colour and a few clever tricks that do most of the heavy lifting, we've rounded up seven Halloween beauty looks that are equal parts spooky and stylish. Consider this your cue to get a little creative.

If your makeup bag disappeared tomorrow, what’s the first thing you’d buy again?

“This gloss is shiny without being sticky and that’s all that matters. I also like that it’s bold, obviously. Cherry red makes me look more put-together than I am, considering how often I wear it with bare skin and messy hair. If I lost it, I’d feel incomplete until I had it again.” - Veda Makkar, Studio

Sheglam Color Bloom Liquid Blush - Love Cake (5.2 ml)

The best deals you can't afford to miss during the Tira Turns Two sale

The viral blush that lives up to the hype. It delivers that fresh, post-run flush with a smooth, cooling texture that melts into skin. The finish? Natural, dewy, and just glossy enough to catch the light without looking shiny.

24 Days of You: Unboxing beauty’s OG Advent calendar

If you want that natural winter flush, this is it. The Love Cake shade melts into your skin for a soft, healthy glow that looks like it’s coming from within. It’s lightweight, blendable and gives just the right amount of colour. A few dabs on the cheeks and you’re good to go.

6 MUA-backed blushes to have handy this wedding season

This is one of those blushes where less truly is more. The liquid-gel texture is intensely pigmented and sinks into the skin quickly, creating what Mukuchyan calls “an actual stain on the skin” that’s incredibly hard to shift once it sets. It’s especially well suited to long wedding days, as the colour wears down evenly rather than disappearing in patches, leaving a soft flush that still looks intentional hours later.

FAQs

1. What are some easy Halloween makeup looks for beginners?

‍

If you're new to Halloween makeup, try a devil, cat or fairy-inspired look. A little red eyeliner can create devil horns, while black eyeliner and eyeshadow work well for feline details. For something softer, shimmering eyeshadow, rhinestones and rosy blush can help you achieve a fairy-inspired finish without much effort.

‍

2. How can I create a Halloween makeup look using everyday products?

‍

You don't need a separate makeup kit for Halloween. Your regular eyeliner, eyeshadow palettes, blush and lipsticks can do most of the work. Experiment with darker shades, exaggerated eyeliner, bold lip colours and creative placement to give your everyday makeup a spooky twist.

‍

3. What are some glamorous Halloween makeup ideas?

‍

For a glamorous take on Halloween, consider a sultry vampire, shimmering siren mermaid or spiderweb-inspired smoky eye. These looks combine dramatic eye makeup, statement lips and intricate details, making them ideal for anyone who prefers a little glamour with their Halloween costume.

‍

4. How do I make my Halloween makeup last all night?

‍

Start with clean, moisturised skin and apply a primer suited to your skin type. Choose long-wearing, waterproof formulas for eyeliner and intricate designs, then lightly set your makeup with powder where needed. Finish with a setting spray to help everything stay in place throughout the night.

‍

5. How can I make my Halloween makeup look more creative without wearing a costume?

‍

Focus on one standout detail that instantly communicates your chosen character. Think delicate spiderwebs around the eyes, rhinestones for a fairy-inspired look, dramatic burgundy eyeshadow for a vampire or glossy, wet-look hair for a siren mermaid. These small additions can make your makeup the centrepiece of your Halloween look, no elaborate costume required.

‍

Spider


Who says spiders can't be glamorous? This look gives the classic smoky eye a spooky little twist, with delicate spiderwebs extending from the outer corners and beneath the eyes. Start with a sultry blend of grey and black eyeshadow, then use a fine-tip liquid eyeliner to draw the webs, keeping the lines thin and precise. Add fluttery lashes, softly sculpted cheeks and a glossy nude lip to balance the drama. It's equal parts eerie and elegant, with just the right amount of Halloween mischief.

M.A.C Pro Longwear Paint Pot - Black Mirror
Bobbi Brown 24 Hour Waterproof Kajal Liner - Black

‍

Devil


A little devilish behaviour never hurt anyone, especially when the makeup looks this good. This look trades the usual costume horns for a more playful approach, with sharp, red devil horns drawn just above the brows and a delicate red flick beneath one eye. Keep the rest of the makeup soft and sultry with neutral eyeshadow, fluttery lashes and subtly sculpted cheeks. The finishing touch? A bold, glossy red lip that ties everything together. It's cheeky, a little wicked and surprisingly easy to recreate with a steady hand and some red eyeliner.

GUBB Eyelash Curler - Black
KIKO Milano 3D Hydra Lipgloss - 15 Cherry Red

‍

Cat


Who said a cat costume has to be predictable? This feline-inspired look takes a walk on the wild side, swapping the usual whiskers for leopard spots scattered across the forehead, cheeks, neck and décolletage. Use brown eyeshadow to create irregular spots, adding a little depth with darker outlines. A generous sweep of rosy blush gives the cheeks a playful flush, while a blackened nose and dark, glossy lips bring out the feline drama. Finish with softly defined eyes and plenty of mascara. It's cute, a little fierce and perfect for anyone looking to channel their inner wild cat.

‍

Fairy


If your Halloween mood board leans more fairy dust than fright night, this one's for you. Think shimmering silver eyeshadow layered over soft pink lids, with tiny rhinestones scattered around the eyes for an extra touch of magic. Add fluttery lashes, a generous wash of rosy blush and a little highlighter to give the skin a luminous, ethereal finish. Complete the look with glossy pink lips and a touch of sparkle wherever you fancy. It's dreamy, delicate and proof that Halloween makeup doesn't always have to be scary to make an impression.

‍

Vampire


Forget the traditional fangs and cape. This vampire look is all about dark, sultry glamour with a slightly sinister edge. Start with a smoky blend of burgundy, plum and black eyeshadow, extending the colour beneath the eyes for that haunting, just-risen-from-the-dead effect. Use a fine brush to draw delicate, vein-like streaks under the lower lash line, then add dramatic lashes and softly highlighted skin. For the finishing touch, go for deep berry lips outlined in black, with a tiny trickle of fake blood at one corner. It's mysterious, a little menacing and just glamorous enough to make you want to join the undead.

‍

Siren mermaid


Who says mermaids have to stay underwater? This siren-inspired look brings a little ocean magic to Halloween, with shimmering seafoam-green eyeshadow swept across the lids and a wash of silver sparkle that catches the light beautifully. Add a few tiny rhinestones around the eyes to mimic glistening water droplets, then blend a cool-toned blush across the cheeks for a soft, almost otherworldly finish. Keep the lips glossy and pearlescent to complete the makeup. For that fresh-out-of-the-ocean effect, work a generous amount of styling gel through damp hair, comb it back and scrunch the lengths with a little mousse for a wet, tousled finish. It's ethereal, a little mysterious and the perfect excuse to go all out with the shimmer.

FAQs

1. What are some easy Halloween makeup looks for beginners?

‍

If you're new to Halloween makeup, try a devil, cat or fairy-inspired look. A little red eyeliner can create devil horns, while black eyeliner and eyeshadow work well for feline details. For something softer, shimmering eyeshadow, rhinestones and rosy blush can help you achieve a fairy-inspired finish without much effort.

‍

2. How can I create a Halloween makeup look using everyday products?

‍

You don't need a separate makeup kit for Halloween. Your regular eyeliner, eyeshadow palettes, blush and lipsticks can do most of the work. Experiment with darker shades, exaggerated eyeliner, bold lip colours and creative placement to give your everyday makeup a spooky twist.

‍

3. What are some glamorous Halloween makeup ideas?

‍

For a glamorous take on Halloween, consider a sultry vampire, shimmering siren mermaid or spiderweb-inspired smoky eye. These looks combine dramatic eye makeup, statement lips and intricate details, making them ideal for anyone who prefers a little glamour with their Halloween costume.

‍

4. How do I make my Halloween makeup last all night?

‍

Start with clean, moisturised skin and apply a primer suited to your skin type. Choose long-wearing, waterproof formulas for eyeliner and intricate designs, then lightly set your makeup with powder where needed. Finish with a setting spray to help everything stay in place throughout the night.

‍

5. How can I make my Halloween makeup look more creative without wearing a costume?

‍

Focus on one standout detail that instantly communicates your chosen character. Think delicate spiderwebs around the eyes, rhinestones for a fairy-inspired look, dramatic burgundy eyeshadow for a vampire or glossy, wet-look hair for a siren mermaid. These small additions can make your makeup the centrepiece of your Halloween look, no elaborate costume required.

‍

Spider


Who says spiders can't be glamorous? This look gives the classic smoky eye a spooky little twist, with delicate spiderwebs extending from the outer corners and beneath the eyes. Start with a sultry blend of grey and black eyeshadow, then use a fine-tip liquid eyeliner to draw the webs, keeping the lines thin and precise. Add fluttery lashes, softly sculpted cheeks and a glossy nude lip to balance the drama. It's equal parts eerie and elegant, with just the right amount of Halloween mischief.

‍

Devil


A little devilish behaviour never hurt anyone, especially when the makeup looks this good. This look trades the usual costume horns for a more playful approach, with sharp, red devil horns drawn just above the brows and a delicate red flick beneath one eye. Keep the rest of the makeup soft and sultry with neutral eyeshadow, fluttery lashes and subtly sculpted cheeks. The finishing touch? A bold, glossy red lip that ties everything together. It's cheeky, a little wicked and surprisingly easy to recreate with a steady hand and some red eyeliner.

‍

Cat


Who said a cat costume has to be predictable? This feline-inspired look takes a walk on the wild side, swapping the usual whiskers for leopard spots scattered across the forehead, cheeks, neck and décolletage. Use brown eyeshadow to create irregular spots, adding a little depth with darker outlines. A generous sweep of rosy blush gives the cheeks a playful flush, while a blackened nose and dark, glossy lips bring out the feline drama. Finish with softly defined eyes and plenty of mascara. It's cute, a little fierce and perfect for anyone looking to channel their inner wild cat.

‍

Fairy


If your Halloween mood board leans more fairy dust than fright night, this one's for you. Think shimmering silver eyeshadow layered over soft pink lids, with tiny rhinestones scattered around the eyes for an extra touch of magic. Add fluttery lashes, a generous wash of rosy blush and a little highlighter to give the skin a luminous, ethereal finish. Complete the look with glossy pink lips and a touch of sparkle wherever you fancy. It's dreamy, delicate and proof that Halloween makeup doesn't always have to be scary to make an impression.

‍

Vampire


Forget the traditional fangs and cape. This vampire look is all about dark, sultry glamour with a slightly sinister edge. Start with a smoky blend of burgundy, plum and black eyeshadow, extending the colour beneath the eyes for that haunting, just-risen-from-the-dead effect. Use a fine brush to draw delicate, vein-like streaks under the lower lash line, then add dramatic lashes and softly highlighted skin. For the finishing touch, go for deep berry lips outlined in black, with a tiny trickle of fake blood at one corner. It's mysterious, a little menacing and just glamorous enough to make you want to join the undead.

‍

Siren mermaid


Who says mermaids have to stay underwater? This siren-inspired look brings a little ocean magic to Halloween, with shimmering seafoam-green eyeshadow swept across the lids and a wash of silver sparkle that catches the light beautifully. Add a few tiny rhinestones around the eyes to mimic glistening water droplets, then blend a cool-toned blush across the cheeks for a soft, almost otherworldly finish. Keep the lips glossy and pearlescent to complete the makeup. For that fresh-out-of-the-ocean effect, work a generous amount of styling gel through damp hair, comb it back and scrunch the lengths with a little mousse for a wet, tousled finish. It's ethereal, a little mysterious and the perfect excuse to go all out with the shimmer.
