Halloween is the one time of the year you can be anything you want. Whether you want to dress up as a mermaid or perhaps a space zombie, this is the perfect time to let your creativity flow! However, if you are fussing about your Halloween get-up, Beauty Insider has got you covered. We have curated the 10 best Halloween makeup looks to get you ready for the spooky season this 2019.

The Nun

We have to admit, we faced some sleepless nights after watching The Nun. Send down some chills and transform yourself into this creepy and gothic nun that looks like it came straight out of the horror movie. If you are really up for some scaring, this is hands-down the perfect look for you.

In order to achieve the titular nun’s washed-out white look, we recommend going for the Kryolan Aquacolor Face and Body Paint in White. Complete your look by adding the dark hollows to the nun’s eyes with the MAC Cosmetics Eye Shadow in Carbon – Matte.

Pennywise from IT

What better way to celebrate Halloween than to dress up as 2019’s most beloved murderous clown? If the garish clown costume and makeup are too over-the-top for you, opt for this glam IT-inspired red smokey eye look and top it off with Pennywise’s signature curved red lines! With this look, you are guaranteed to float too.

We recommend the Huda Beauty Obsessions Precious Stones Eyeshadow Palette in Ruby for those crimson red hues to complete this Pennywise look.

Mermaid-Skeleton

Cannot decide between being a mermaid princess or a classic skeleton? Why not be both! Get the best of both worlds with this creative mermaid-skeleton hybrid look. This look is both ethereal and haunting at the same time, perfect if you are looking for that in-between of spooky and glamorous. For this look, take out a trusty old fishnet tights and dust some pastel-hued eyeshadow to achieve those mermaid scales. Then, top it all off with a powder highlighter for that pop of shine!

The By Terry Game Lighter Palette is your master tool to get those vibrant mermaid scales.

Joker

Put on a happy face with this Joker makeup look! Inspired by the synonymous record-breaking hit movie, the Joker is undeniably 2019’s hottest Halloween makeup look. Rock the looks of this classic comic villain by applying a sheer amount of white paint all over your face. Do not forget to splash on the Joker’s bright blue eye look and blood-red smile for that iconic grin.

For this look, we recommend the NYX Professional Makeup Ultimate Shadow Palette – Brights for all the shades you need to create the Joker’s archetypal look.

Neon Skeleton

Take your skeleton makeup look to the next level. It is without saying that the skeleton makeup look is obligatory for every Halloween. Still, if you want to spice things up with a bit of colour, neon is the way to go! This makeup look may look a tad complicated, but it is sure to be a spine-tingling show-stopper at your next Halloween party!

In order to create the pitch-black hollows, paint your face and body with the Kryolan Aquacolor in Black. For those hauntingly bright neon hues, go for the Viseart Eyeshadow Palette in Editorial Brights.

Halloween Corpse Bride

Look drop-dead gorgeous with this visionary undead makeup look! Rise up from the grave and go for this Halloween Corpse Bride look that screams nothing but eerie. If you want to amp up the eeriness to this look, draw on some cracks with black eyeliner to mimic the sinister broken doll look.

Achieve this ashen-faced look with a pale makeup base with the Kryolan TV Paint Stick in 092 before topping it off with a vivid eyeshadow to complement the look.

8-bit Pixelated

Retro games never go out of style, so why not pay homage to classic 80s’ video games with this 8-bit pixel look! Although this pixelated look may seem too difficult for the average makeup junkie, this ornate optical illusion look is much simpler to achieve than many think! In order to achieve this look, use different shades of foundation or dig out a brown cream to draw on multiple squares on your face to create a three-dimensional effect.

The Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Hydrating Longwear Foundation is your go-to to paint on those 8-bit pixels. For added dimension, use the Anastasia Beverly Hills Dipbrow Pomade in Medium Brown.

Maleficent

Step aside, Disney princesses. Maleficent is taking over this Halloween and we are obsessed with her look! This legendary Disney villain is the epitome of chicness and ferocity, making her the perfect inspiration for a Halloween makeup look. After all, who does not want Maleficent’s tough attitude and killer cheekbones? This look is perfect for those who want to get in on the Disney magic while tapping into its darker side.

We recommend the Kat Von D Shade + Light Contour Palette to get those super sharp cheekbones Angelina Jolie’s Maleficent has.

Galaxy Blush

Who says Halloween is all about gory guts and terrifying get-ups? Show up to the party with this adorable galaxy blush look that is out of this world! Switch up your rosy pink blush and throw on some vibrant colours onto your cheeks and nose. Do not forget to finish off the look by drawing on some stars using a white liquid liner.

For this galazy-inspired blush, go for the Fenty Beauty Killawatt Foil Freestyle Highlighter Palette to enhance those glowing stars.

If you are looking to spice up your daily eye makeup, add a bat-inspired eyeliner to keep your eyes looking fly all night long. Plus, you can add a pop of colour to this eyeliner or keep it goth black by filling in your eyeliner. The choices are limitless with this look!
