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. A lipstick shade that would raise eyebrows on any other day? Even better. 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.
“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
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
