15 Halloween makeup ideas that will bring in more treats

You promised yourself you wouldn’t do it again this year but somehow, with Halloween around the corner, you’re now searching for last-minute Halloween makeup ideas that will have you ready for a spooky night of fun without the need to run to the nearest makeup store.

Now I know what you’re thinking and the answer is no. You don’t have to be a makeup artist to look like a hallow-queen! In fact, all the list of looks I’ve put together are beginner-friendly, meaning you will only need your favorite eyeshadow pallets and eyeliners to pull them off (yes, it can be that easy).

So, in case you’re planning to go all out this year, these Halloween makeup ideas are here to take your look to the next level.

Float like a butterfly

Who says you need wings to channel your inner butterfly?

With as little as a black eyeliner and pink eyeshadow, you can recreate this aesthetic look to stand out from the crowd and if you’re in the mood to go all the way, you can also crank it up by adding glitter to the mix for that extra Aphrodite gleam.

From a different galaxy

Contrary to what most people believe, Halloween makeup ideas are not all about fake blood and oozing wounds. You can also go creative and create the prettiest look out there!

For this look, you can either build up face stickers or use star glitter with a few drops of eyelash glue to give off the ‘I’m out of this world’ aura and blind everyone with your galactic light.

Undercover Kermit

It’s Halloween, which means you can either go totally crazy with your disguise or keep it low-key with a cheeky look inspired by this talented makeup artist.

With only four different colors, you can replicate this fun frog-inspired eyeshadow then show up to the party and show everyone that you’ve put in the effort.

Snow queen

TBH, Halloween is just a fun excuse to pop on those blue eyeshadow shades you can’t be seen wearing in the office.

Why not make the most out of this occasion to grab your brushes and give yourself an icy makeover that will have you feeling and looking like queen Elsa herself?

Fierce werewolf

This look is for all the wild souls out there.

Nevada-based makeup artist Olivia Hernandez is all about showing us that you can easily turn yourself into a werewolf with a few simple products that are available in everyone’s makeup drawer.

Stranger Things super fan

If you’re obsessed with Stranger Things like I am, I’m pretty sure you’ll jump at the first opportunity to recreate this look.

Grab a black liquid eyeliner and some colorful eyeliner pencils to draw the string lights and bring in your favorite dark eyeshadows and lipstick shades to emulate those evil Vecna vibes.

Violet Beauregarde

When I said easy Halloween makeup ideas I really meant it!

Want to look like Violet Beauregarde from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Easy. You can achieve a toned-down version of her look by packing on blue eyeshadow on the center of your face as shown in the previous tutorial or even go all out and replicate the real thing by covering your whole face in blue face paint; it’s your call.

Tinkerbell magic

Who needs pixie dust when you have makeup?

Now’s the perfect time to whip out all the green shades hiding in your makeup kit and give yourself a magical makeover to look like one of Disney’s most beloved creatures.

Pixel dreams

While this Halloween makeup look might take a bit more time to finish, looking like you belong in a GIF will totally be worth it.

To nail this look, you can start by drawing small squares to create a mesmerizing checkered effect before you fill them out with different shades using cream shadows, pigments or even face paint if you happen to have any standing by.

Glam spider situation

I think you can agree when I say that nothing screams Halloween like spiders, so how about incorporating these not-so-loved creatures into your Halloween costume?

The trickiest part about this look is making the spider look as realistic as possible with black lipstick, eyeliner or eyeshadow. Once you nail it, all you need to do bedazzle your face with some glitter, rhinestones and highlighter before heading out and having the night of your life.

Daisy lover

Those who don’t plan on creeping anyone out, I’ve got you!

You can go for a soft aesthetic look that a) is easy to recreate, b) will make you look extra pretty and c) just an excuse to wear beautiful blooming daisies all over your face.

Bratz doll

Is it even a Halloween makeup ideas list if I don’t mention Bratz dolls? Looking and dressing like these cool dolls for just a night is just an opportunity that 2000s children wouldn’t want to pass.

Just remember to go all out for this look and magnify main features such as your eyes and lips to really emulate that iconic Bratz beauty.

Living in a candy world

This candy-inspired Halloween makeup idea is everything your inner child could ever dream of and the best part about it all is you can choose to metamorphose into your favorite dessert, be it donuts, cupcakes or ice cream.

Harley Quinn vibe

I’m pretty sure that when Suicide Squad came out, the creators of this thrilling move had no intention of turning the main character Harley Quinn into a Halloween staple but yet, here we are.

Just follow this easy tutorial and be prepared to win this year’s hottest costume award.

Euphoria star

We can’t but give credit to Euphoria for supplying us with endless Halloween makeup inspiration for this year’s party and even more reasons to take glitz and glam to the next level.
