Looking for Halloween makeup inspiration that won't require a professional makeup artist or hours in front of the mirror? We've got you covered with four beginner-friendly looks that still pack plenty of wow-factor. Whether you're heading to a party or just want to have some fun with your makeup, these looks are perfect for makeup lovers of all skill levels.
1. Classic Cat Eye
Let's start with everyone's favourite! This timeless look is perfect for last-minute plans and can be dressed up or down depending on your outfit. Our cute edition Kitty Kat Kit has everything you need - the iINK Liquid Liner for those perfect whiskers and sharp wings, Madison Avenue Lengthening Mascara for dramatic eyes, and Devilish False Lashes to complete your feline transformation.
Top Tip: Start with small dots where you want your whiskers to go, then connect them with gentle strokes. Much easier than trying to draw straight lines freehand!
2. Sugar Skull Lite
Don't let elaborate Day of the Dead makeup tutorials intimidate you. Create a simplified version using:
- White foundation or face paint as your base
- Black eyeliner to draw the key features around your eyes and nose
- A bright lipstick for that pop of colour
- Add flowers or gems around your forehead for extra flair
Top Tip: Use our Base Perfect Foundation in your usual shade to create a border around your face - this helps frame the look and keeps it neat. For extra staying power, lock your foundation in place with our Glow Fix Waterproof Setting Powder.
3. Galaxy Girl
This ethereal look is surprisingly easy! All you need is:
- Your regular foundation
- Various shades of eyeshadow (purples, blues, and silvers work brilliantly)
- White eyeliner or face paint for stars
- Highlighter for that cosmic glow
Top Tip: Don't worry about being too precise - galaxies aren't perfect, and neither should your makeup be! Layer different colours and add plenty of shimmer.
4. Vintage Vampire
Channel old Hollywood glamour with this classic look:
- Pale foundation (just one shade lighter than your usual)
- Dramatic red lipstick (try “Man Trap” red lipstick)
- Smoky eye
- Defined brows
Top Tip: Our Matte Liquid Lipstick in 'Marilyn' stays put all night - perfect for those Halloween drinks!
Essential Halloween Makeup Tips:
1. Prep Your Skin
Always start with a good moisturiser and primer. Halloween makeup tends to be heavier than everyday looks, so you want to protect your skin.
2. Test First
Do a trial run of your chosen look a few days before. This takes the pressure off and lets you perfect your technique.
3. Set It Right
Setting spray or our Glowfix Waterproof Setting Powder is your best friend for Halloween makeup. It helps your look last through all the fun and photos.
4. Keep It Simple
Choose a look that matches your skill level. It's better to nail a simpler look than struggle with something too complicated.
5. Have Fun!
Remember, Halloween is about having fun with your look. Don't stress about perfection - sometimes the little imperfections make your makeup more interesting!
Happy Halloween, gorgeous ones! 🎃
