Halloween is the perfect time to unleash creativity and transform your look with bold, dramatic makeup. If you’re aiming for something more glamorous than gory, these three stunning Halloween makeup looks will perfectly blend spooky and chic.
Vampy Glamour
For a classic Halloween look with a twist, channel your inner vampire with vampy glamour makeup. This look focuses on deep, dark tones and sharp contouring. Start with a flawless base using a full-coverage foundation and set it with a matte powder for a porcelain finish. Use black or dark plum eyeshadow to create a bold, smoky eye, adding a winged eyeliner for extra drama. Finish the eyes with long, voluminous lashes.
To achieve the ultimate vampire vibe, contour your face with dark browns and grays to give a hollowed-out effect, emphasizing your cheekbones. Choose a deep burgundy or black lipstick for the lips to complete the look. Add a touch of highlighter on your nose and cheekbones for a hint of shimmer contrasting the dark tones.
Enchanted Fairy
Try an enchanted fairy style that combines soft, glowing colors with a magical aura for a whimsical yet glamorous look. Start by applying a radiant, dewy foundation to glow your skin naturally. Use pastel eyeshadow shades like lavender, pink, or mint green on your eyelids, blending them softly for a dreamy effect. Add a touch of glitter or shimmer to your eyes for that magical sparkle.
Accentuate the look with delicate white or gold eyeliner to create a wing or ethereal design around the eyes. Soft pink blush and a glossy lip in a similar shade will keep the look light and enchanting. Don’t forget to add a highlighter on your cheeks, forehead, and brow bone for that fairy-like glow.
Dark Mermaid
The dark mermaid look offers a mix of glam and gothic beauty for a mysterious underwater vibe. Use cool tones like deep blues, purples, and greens on your eyes, blending them to create a shimmering, ocean-inspired effect. For an extra glam touch, apply metallic or holographic eyeshadow in the center of your lids.
Using fishnet stockings or mesh fabric as a stencil to achieve the mermaid scale effect. Place the mesh over your skin and use a sponge to dab on iridescent or metallic colors, creating the illusion of scales. For the lips, opt for a dark metallic shade or a bold teal for an otherworldly touch. Complete the look with pearls, seashells, or rhinestones applied around the eyes or forehead to embody your dark mermaid persona truly.
