Easy Halloween Makeup Ideas

1. Candy Corn Cheeks + Warm Eyes

 

This look gives cozy fall vibes with orange and yellow eyeshadow blended across the eyelids and candy corn designs stamped on your cheeks. 

Big lashes add drama, while the warm colors keep it fun. 

It’s like your face is dressed up in Halloween candy.

2. Glitter Webs + Sparkle Eyes

 

Draw sparkly spiderwebs around your eyes and pair them with shimmer shadow and mascara. 

It looks spooky, but make it glitter. 

Like a spider spun a web just to help you slay.

3. Joker Smile + Red Scribbles

 

This one goes full Joker with a big red painted smile that stretches out, dark smoky eyes, and "HA HA" written across the cheeks and neck. 

It’s intense but easy to copy. 

You’ll look like you just walked off the movie set (or out of chaos).

4. Dark Glam + Bold Contour

 

Super smoky shadow, thick wings, deep red lips, and sharp contour make this look totally costume-party ready. 

Think Tiffany Valentine or vintage horror movie energy. 

It’s glam, but still scary.

5. Tiger Face + Big Lashes

 

Orange base, bold black tiger stripes, winged eyeliner, and lashes that look like they could fly off, this one roars. 

Add a little nose detail and you’re officially the cutest predator at the party.

6. Jack-o'-Lantern Grin + Black Eyes

 

Your whole face turns into a pumpkin, with a big black toothy smile and deep blacked-out eyes. 

It’s creepy and kind of cool. 

You’ll look like a real walking jack-o'-lantern.

7. Blueberry Girl Glow-Up

 

This look mimics Violet from Willy Wonka, with purple and blue patches around your nose and cheeks. 

Super fun for anyone who wants to look dramatic without being scary. 

Bonus if you wear blue lipstick too.

8. Jigsaw Puppet Face

 

Paint little red spirals on your cheeks and draw black lines from the corners of your mouth to your chin. 

It gives that doll-turned-creepy look from Saw. 

Add red lips and a cold stare if you’re feeling extra.

9. Classic Clown + Red Lines

 

Start with a white base, then add long red lines over your brows and down your mouth. 

Add black around your eyes and a little red nose. 

It’s clown-core but make it spooky.

10. Lightning Eyes + Red Hair

 

This one’s super bold; bright red hair and glowing orange-yellow lightning streaks across your face. 

Red shadow and thick liner finish it off. 

You’ll look like a storm, but cuter.

11. Ghostface Eyes + Red Wings

 

Use red shadow with winged liner and draw mini Ghostface icons on your cheeks. 

Top it with a bold lip and bam: it’s giving slasher film but still wearable. 

You’ll scare and serve.

12. Half Skull + Half Cute

 

Split your face in two: one side regular makeup, the other side a full red and black skull. 

It’s perfect if you want to be spooky and pretty at the same time. 

The best of both worlds.

13. Neon Purge Mask Look

 

Paint bright pink and white Xs over your eyes and mouth, then add more lines on your forehead and chin. 

It gives total Purge energy. 

Grab a black hoodie and you’re done.

14. Pumpkin Eyes + Stitched Mouth

 

Swipe on orange shadow, line your eyes sharp, and paint black stitched lines across your lips like a carved jack-o'-lantern. 

It’s cute-scary and easy to recreate. 

Add freckles if you want it sweeter.

15. Doll Face + Stitches

 

Draw black stitches across your cheeks, forehead, or lips. 

Add blush and big lashes to get that doll or scarecrow vibe. 

It’s soft, spooky, and kind of adorable.
