Whether you’re hosting an all-out Halloween party or having a low-key movie night at home, a little bit of makeup can definitely lift your spirit. It’s easy, effortless, and kicks your eerie-istable costumes up a notch. Plus, if you’re not into crowded pub crawls or just handing out candies, makeup can add the touch of spook and even perfect for those inevitable selfies. The only snag? Squaring down on one Halloween makeup idea! Worry not, JCPenney is here. We bring you super-easy ideas that’ll also focus on glamming up. What’s more? Garb a couple of Halloween accessories to switch things up this season! Choose from the goth-inspired look, bright reds, and the undead contours – so what are you waiting for? Let’s have some skele-fun.
If you want to pull off minimalistic yet recognizable makeup, you need basic features right – points above and below brows, dramatic lips, and accessories. Try something like the understated jester girl look if you don’t want to go all out with your clown costume. It’s just a simple eye makeup that requires a few basic products like eyeliner, a bright eyeshadow palette, and a bold lipstick. Start with a clean base and fill in your eyebrows with an eyebrow pencil. Then, apply black eyeliner and draw triangles and circles under your eyes and above the brows. You could also use blue electric blue winged eyeliner and skeleton earrings to switch things up.
Addams family is a classic Halloween throwback. If you own all things black, then Wednesday Addams is the look for you. Get your hand on this set for the perfect goth pout. Alternatively, you could also nail the perfect Morticia Addams look. You might require a long black wig, but it’s pretty simple to achieve. Just apply foundation that is four shades lighter than your natural color for the undead vibe. Then, use black eyeliner to heavily line your eyes and darken your eyebrows to match your hair and complete your look with Disney’s enchanted ring.
For a makeup idea that’s too cute to spook, you can lean into this groovy-girl-inspired look. It’s got the right mix of pastel and graphic eyeliner to it. To add to the creeps, just stick with false bottom lashes, curl your hair, and grab a cute superhero costume. You could also lean into the 70s with a mini skirt or an abstract printed dress. It’s laid-back, effortless, and perfect for a stay-at-home party.
Do you like spiders? (We doubt that) But spiders are Halloween-appropriate. It’s easy and achievable in minutes with just three products. First, do your makeup however you want – subtle or glammed up. Ensure your eye makeup is dark and glittery. Next, pick the eyeliner and draw mini webs around your eye(s). Finish it off with a tiny black spider down your cheek. You could switch things up with a glitter liner too.
