Halloween Makeup Step By Step.Halloween is dangerously close, which is the perfect excuse to bring out the make-up artist in you and give free rein to creativity. Forget about the white painted faces and the false dark circles that do not have an iota of grace. If you want to throw yourself into a scary makeup, here are some ideas.

Halloween makeup step by step: 10 Stunning ideas.

There’s nothing left for Halloween night and that only means one thing: it’s time to get creative and bring out our dark side. A good costume is important, but if there is something that makes the difference, it is a successful and creepy makeup.

Makeup 1. Skull or death

Let’s be honest, although we love Halloween we usually leave the planning of our outfits for the last moment. For this reason, in general, since we do not like to complicate our lives, one of the first ideas that we propose to you is the very easy skeleton makeup .

It’s very simple, all you need is your usual makeup and white cream paint (suitable for skin, of course). Paint your entire face white. Once you have the base, it is only a matter of giving a little volume to areas such as the cheekbones, following the contouring technique with some dark shadow. The nose must be black to give the feeling that it does not exist. Don’t forget to draw the teeth to complete this look .

Yes, we know, being characterized as a skull may be very popular, but what if we give it a twist and only apply it to half of the face , leaving the other half with red carpet makeup?

For that you can divide your face in two , either with a horizontal line or with a vertical one. The technique to apply in either of the two is the same, but to explain it well we will put ourselves in the situation of a vertical division, as in the photo. Distribute the white paint across the nose and cheekbones to the right. Then paint a black circle around the eye, bringing the color up to the eyebrow, and fill it in. Also, remember the black nose and draw the smile.

2.Zombie Makeup

We go from one classic to another with this zombie makeup . It is possibly one of the easiest to achieve, since you simply need to put white, green or light-colored paint on the face , including the lips .

Don’t forget to pay attention to the eyes. The dark circles have to be very well marked with shadows, as well as the cheekbones. In addition, to complete this emaciated zombie look, you can also use colored contact lenses, even white, that highlight this area more.

3. Animals Makeup

Wolf, cat, tiger, it doesn’t matter what animal you choose, the important thing about this makeup is to draw the hairs well . The materials you need could not be more basic since, with a pencil of the right color, you can paint small stripes to simulate the fur on the cheekbones, cheeks, nose and eyebrows . Not scary enough? Add some touches like scratches or wounds painted with red makeup and you will be the king of the party.

Makeup 4. Devil doll

Is it possible to get a perfect doll makeup? Yes, we tell you how.

Use a black pencil to mark the mouth and eyes, the idea is to make them look ‘movable’ . To make the size of the eyes appear larger you have to draw some eyelashes above and below the eyelids. From there, paint some well-marked freckles on top of some red cheeks and that’s it.

A variation of this makeup is the broken doll makeup . If what you are looking for, in addition to a delicate look, is to be scary, this option may be better for you. This look requires a little more technique, but with a little practice in front of the mirror and a dark pencil with some shadows, you can create that illusion. With a vintage dressyour Halloween photos will be the best !

5. Witch Makeup

If you are tired of the makeup of witches of a lifetime, those who have a green face with a wart strategically located on a large nose, you can use this idea to achieve a more beautiful and original style , without giving up being in the latest fashion easy way.

If you are a fan of Disney you can turn to some of our favorite villains, such as the Maleficent witch. To characterize yourself as her you can follow a makeup tutorial with purple and green tones, remembering after marking and outlining her most characteristic features, her eyes, nose and cheekbones. Do not forget to use a striking lipstick.

Makeup 6. Mexican skull or catrina

The popularity of skull and catrina makeup has not stopped growing, at first for its originality and now for its beauty . It is not strange to see that, Halloween after Halloween, Instagram is flooded with these characteristic characters. These curious skeletons are not just costumes, but the representation of part of the culture of Mexico , full of colors, styles and shapes .

Catrina makeup needs some eye shadows and a black eyeliner. With black, draw and fill in the eye sockets, the nose and a “sewn” smile. From there, add touches of color wherever you want, around the eyes, mainly, and on the forehead. We recommend using cream makeup on which powder shadows sit better.

Makeup 7. The corpse bride

If before we used the bad guys from Disney as inspiration, why not base our costume on another type of character?

The corpse bride is another costume that never fails . To get the look all you need is to paint your face with white or blue cream paint. The only thing missing is to give volume to the face with a darker blue shadow and paint the lips with a strong color, like a passionate red, to achieve that drawing look.

8. Vampire Makeup

Vampires have always been the most elegant of sinister beings. To get to look like them, you only need a couple of details, among which you can not miss a pair of fake fangs, a little fake blood and your usual makeup .

This option is perfect if you want to attend a party without giving up fashion, wearing a beautiful dress or a more formal suit.

9. Pumpkin Makeup

Until not too long ago, pumpkin makeup was practically reserved for children. However, now there are many tutorials that explain how we can put on pumpkin makeup to become the stars of the party.

Apart from the orange base, we will have to use a black pencil to mark the indentations of the pumpkin, as well as the holes for the eyes and a mouth with pointed teeth. If you have to make up a friend, we advise you to start with this style, simple as well as colorful.

10.Saw Makeup

Returning to the world of fiction we find Billy the Puppe t. This name may not ring a bell at first, but if we talk about Saw , the first image that comes to mind is that of this character.

To dress up as one of the most sadistic and intelligent characters, apart from the clothes, you need convincing makeup. On a white base, he draws bright red blushes in a spiral shape . He paints your lips the same color and from the corners to the chin he draws black lines. To finish, he blackens your eyes and tries to paint the center with reddish tones.

Sloth makeup: zipper, eyes, wounds and more

You don’t need much to get spooky costumes. Even so, if all these options that we present to you seem too complex, you can also choose one of these:

• wounds. It is clear that you do not need a great makeup to be the most terrifying on Halloween night. For the Day of the Dead you can bet on fake wounds in which the more blood, the better.
• Eyes. Most Halloween makeup focuses on the eyes, so if you don’t want to get complicated, find a look for them. For example, draw a spider web with black eyeliner.
• Accessories. You can also use latex or techniques that allow you to add any type of object to your face and body, one more step in the lifelong make-up process. Some of the trends, such as a zipper or an object stuck in the face, can be found on Pinterest or Instagram.

Exploit your creativity to the fullest to get your look this Halloween.
