Frighteningly beautiful: Halloween makeup options
If you don’t want to wear an extravagant costume, make-up artists advise focusing on make-up.
A killer doll, a skeleton, a vampire, a clown – all these images pop up in front of your eyes when it comes to Halloween makeup. So that your image does not look trivial this year, we asked the makeup artist which “scary” make-up to choose.

– Every year certain characters become the most popular, this year, of course, the Joker and Maleficent. But there are many other looks that will set you apart from most and keep you fashionable, vibrant and feminine. For such looks, you don’t need to use special makeup, just revise your cosmetic bag. It’s time to get the sparkles and rhinestones that you once bought in the New Year’s euphoria, but never used!
For inspiration, MAKE UP FOR EVER has prepared three phantasmagoric looks: Deep Sea, Pink Pixi and Golden Cyborg. You can repeat them in a few simple steps.
Deep Sea
Instructions
Paint over the space between the lashes and darken the inner and outer corners of the upper and lower lids with a soft black pencil. Feather the borders as if creating a smokey, but keeping the center of the eyelid intact.
Duplicate the pencil with ultramarine shadows.
Fill the center of the eyelid with a shimmering shade of jade green. In this case, both compact eyeshadows with a luminous texture and loose powder are suitable.
Apply a volumizing black mascara to lashes.
Sprinkle blue pigment or loose eyeshadow in the inner and outer corners for a smudge effect. Be sure to fix the result with a fixing spray.
Pink Pixi
Instructions
Use eyeshadows in shades of fuchsia, vivid blues and purples to create spots of color around the eyes. Try to arrange them asymmetrically with smooth transitions from color to color. We recommend using highly pigmented compact eyeshadow.
Color the upper and lower lashes very liberally with mascara to create a spider’s feet effect. Apply bunches of eyelashes if desired for a more expressive look.
To fix the next step, first use a fixing spray.
Spray the glittering powder all over your face and exposed parts of the body. On top, additionally fix the result with a spray.
Golden Cyborg
Instructions
Mark the desired shape for the drawing with a beige pencil for the face and body.
Fill the drawing with gold color using cream eyeshadow, face paint, or by mixing gold loose eyeshadow with fixing spray.
Apply gold lipstick or eyeshadow to your lips.
Paint over the lashes with lengthening mascara.
By the way, on the eve of Halloween, MAKE UP FOR EVER makeup artists in the brand’s corner in Tsvetnoy will conduct makeup lessons and show you how to recreate the above images step by step.
