Last-Minute Halloween Makeup Hacks

It’s spooky szn and time to plan a Halloween makeup look that slays. Forget turning to Google for some easy Halloween makeup looks (who has time for countless tutorials, anyway?). We’ve rounded up some simple, last-minute-approved Halloween makeup that’s impossible to mess up. These can also be done on the cheap while looking the opposite, like you put way more effort into them than you actually did. Who even needs a costume when the makeup look is that good?

Beetlejuice lip

The Beetlejuice movie reboot reminds us of the beauty power of a Tim Burton character. It’s giving spooky yet sultry Halloween makeup vibes. Beetlejuice lips went viral on BeautyTok recently and they couldn’t be easier to achieve. All you need is a highly pigmented base and a contrasting shadow to dust overtop. Here’s a colour combo we love: green and black using this eyeliner pencil as a base shade (it has intense colour that’s long-lasting and fine to use on your lips) and the black eyeshadow in this high-pigment palette. After applying the green shade allover the lips, take a fluffy powder brush and gentle coat it in the black eyeshadow powder. Purse your lips very tightly and then dust them gently with the shadow-dipped brush. Once you relax your lips and smile, you’ll have the viral Beetlejuice look.

 

Harley Quinn

Even though it’s been eight years since we first saw Margot Robbie transform into Harley Quinn, we’re still not over the epic two-toned makeup look that she unleashed. It’s ultra-flattering and super fierce at the same time, which is genius. The limited-edition essence Harley Quinn collection has all of your Halloween needs covered from eyeshadow palettes to lipgloss to face jewels. Simply apply blue shades to one half of the face and pink shades to the other. Throw in some jewel hearts and your Harley Quinn transformation will be complete!

 

Wednesday Adams

Looking for a Halloween makeup effect that’s on the darker side? Look no further than Wednesday Adams, the Jenny Ortega version. It’s all about pale matte skin, vampy lips and nails and smoky black eyes. Chances are you can create this look using products you already have at home. To get the look, start by evening out your complexion with a natural matte foundation. Next, sweep on a powder with mattifying benefits. Keep the eyes simple by outlining them with this long-lasting black gel eyeliner. Smudge it out slightly so it looks imperfect and lived in. For the lips, go with a black-tinted gloss for a deep blackberry effect. This one has plumping benefits and scores bonus points! Finish off your look with a couple of coats of black nail polish and you’ll be ready to dance, dance, dance.

 

Halloween-coded eyeliner hack

This is the fastest and easiest Halloween eye-makeup hack for last-minute plans that require a dresscode. It’s jester-esque and ultra-flattering. All you need is a super longwearing black liquid liner and a steady hand.

 

Tip: Going heavy on the Halloween makeup is necessary and so is a waterproof makeup remover. Keep this formula handy and use it with cotton pads to remove your makeup at the end of the night. Your morning skin will thank you!
