Halloween is the perfect time of year to get creative with your makeup. It doesn’t have to be complicated, and there are so many options—from simple makeup looks like the ones we shared here today, to elaborate costumes that take hours to put together but look amazing when they're done. We've gathered these makeup ideas are all so simple, yet they will make you look great on Halloween!
Wednesday Addams
Wednesday Addams is one of the most iconic Halloween characters, and she's not hard to recreate. Her signature pale skin is easy to achieve with a little bit of white makeup, and you can use a black eyeliner pencil to draw her signature big eyes. Add some jet-black hair dye or a wig for an even more convincing look.
The Joker
Joker costumes can be as straightforward or as complicated as you want them to be. For this look, you'll need white makeup, red lipstick, and blue eyeshadow. Add an orange wig if you have one lying around—it will help complete your costume and make it look more realistic. If not, just wear black pants with suspenders and a button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up.
Mermaid skeleton
For this look, you’ll need a dark green or blue foundation. Use a white eyeliner pencil to draw the mermaid scales on your face and neck. To create the illusion that your eyes are closed and sunken in, use a black eyeliner pencil to draw over them and around them (but not on top of them). Once that is done, take a red lip liner or lipstick and trace it under your lower lip for some added definition. Finally, use an eyebrow brush with blue eyeshadow on it to apply shimmery blue shadow around each eye socket so they look like gills.
Magician or wizard
The magician is a fun costume to wear. It’s easy to create and can be done in many ways. You can pick up any white face paint, black eye shadow, black lipstick, and eyeliner at your local costume store or buy them online. If you want to add a little more flare to your outfit, try getting some fake facial hair like sideburns or a mustache (or even better yet both). For the hat, the choice goes with something basic like a wizard hat or top hat but if you want something more elaborate try looking into wizard robes instead!
Pennywise
Pennywise from "It" is one of the most iconic clowns in history, and with good reason. He is terrifying! The main thing that makes this character so scary is his face paint and costume, so if you want to look like him then you will need to get some white face paint, red lipstick, and black eyeliner. You can pick up a cheap plastic wig or if you want to go for something a little more elaborate try getting a clown wig instead!
Queen of Hearts (Alice in Wonderland)
The Queen of Hearts is a classic Halloween makeup idea. You can create this look by using white, red, and black face paint. If you want to add more color to your outfit try wearing a red dress with golden trimmings or even wearing a crown!
