1. A Scary Look – Easy Halloween Makeup Ideas
Have you been considering dressing up as a pumpkin for Halloween? Well here is some scary Halloween makeup idea that will definitely wow everyone! Use a deeper shade of orange for your eyes, as well as a few other areas of your face. Then go over a few parts of your face with black. Paint black specks over your eyes and create a skeleton-like nose for yourself, going over it with black. The final touch is to create a huge, black mouth for yourself, which resembles that of a jack-o-lantern. The illusion will look amazing and spooky at the same time!
2. Glittery Glamour – Halloween Face Paint Ideas for Adults
If you are going to a Halloween party and don’t want to look scary in the least, check out this idea! A glittery face of a rainbow skeleton. Using an array of colours for the eyes, as well as painting over your eyebrows with colour and glitter, will ensure you have the perfect look. Remember to create the skeleton look for your nose. Of course, the best part will be to create the mouth and the jaw of the skeleton. Use a rainbow of colours to do it and use glitter for the teeth!
3. Makeup for Couples – Simple and Cool
Are you in search of scary Halloween makeup that will be perfect for two people? If you are dressing up with your partner and going as a couple to a Halloween party, check out this awesome idea. Find simple outfits, which are mainly made up of black garments. Then create your makeup to look as if they were skulls of a skeleton. Depending on what sort of look you are going for, you can do full-face makeup or just half of your face.
4. Broken into Bits – Halloween Face Paint Ideas for Adults
We have mentioned using a jack-o-lantern as inspiration for your Halloween makeup! Here is another idea involving it! Only create a jack-o-lantern on half or more of your face. Then as if it were broken, create small cracks in it. You will want to use black to create jack-o-lantern eyes, a nose and a mouth! To make it more realistic, make sure you shade the orange parts of the pumpkin. This makeup will look good with either a pumpkin costume or just black clothes!
5. A Monochrome Jack-O-Lantern – Spooky for Halloween
Here is yet another mind-blowing idea when it comes to Halloween pumpkin makeup! Instead of colouring your face with orange, simply create a monochrome jack-o-lantern, using black. You will want to accentuate the shape of the pumpkin’s eyes, the carved out nose and the toothy grin. Even though you don’t actually incorporate any pumpkiny colour, such as orange, into this makeup, it will still look brilliant! It’s all about creating an illusion with your makeup for Halloween. And when the lights go off in the party, it will look like you actually don’t have a nose or mouth!
6. Truly Sinister – Gauged Out Eyes
You might have seen a few Halloween movies, where characters appear without having any eyes in their eye sockets. It’s definitely a scary look, but will look perfect for Halloween! You will have to colour your eyelids with the deepest shade of black you can find. Then using dark grey, you should create a runny effect underneath your eyes and also shading the part above. This will create a hole-like appearance for your eyes as if they were gauged out. As a final touch, colour your mouth black as well, creating a wider mouth than you actually have.
7. Red Eyes – Easy Halloween Makeup Ideas
Make sure to give your eyes a creepy look for Halloween! Here is an awesome idea you might consider trying out! Create a red line underneath your eyes, as if they were bruised and bloody. You can even draw thin veins all running up to your eyes for that special and creepy effect. Try out a more glamorous look on your eyelids though! You can coat them in black eyeshadow and give your eyelashes a striking look with a lot of mascara. If you are thinking about dressing up as a ghost or vampire, this makeup will look perfect!
8. A Marionette – Halloween Face Paint Ideas for Adults
Another genuinely terrifying look for Halloween is to dress up like a marionette! A lot of people are afraid of dolls and puppets, as they definitely give off a creepy vibe, with their painted faces. You will have to make your eyes look bigger than they actually are, using some white eyeliner for this illusion. Another tip for creating the makeup look of a marionette is to make your mouth look bigger. Paint another mouth over your actual mouth, one which is smiling constantly.
9. Brilliant in Black – Creepy and Scary
Since it’s Halloween, you will definitely want to go for a striking and scary makeup look! So check out this brilliant idea! Use black as the dominant colour for your makeup.

These dots can symbolise anything you’d like!
