Halloween is a traditional holiday, rooted in the customs of the Irish and Scots. At the beginning of the twentieth century, such an event was strictly regulated by rules and rituals. However, with the process of globalization, Halloween celebrations have spread throughout the world and the rules have become simpler. Now October 31st in many countries is more like a costume party with a reason to have fun. The style of the holiday and masquerade processions in costumes of evil spirits and devils are a great opportunity to fool around a little and try on different images. In addition to costumes, which receive special attention, don’t forget about makeup. A properly chosen make-up can become the highlight of any character on All Hallows' Night.
Witch
With one glance she has the power to execute or pardon. Under the cover of night, she soars up on a broom. She knows the secrets of all people. But if anyone finds out her secret, she will end up at the stake.

From the point of view of implementation, this is perhaps the simplest image. All you need is black clothes, black eye shadow and dark lipstick.

Makeup options
Light - implies a small amount of makeup. For this type of makeup, it will be enough to use decorative cosmetics to emphasize some lines. Light makeup for Halloween includes images of cats, porcelain dolls or simple variations of witches.
Cosmetic pencils or liquid eyeliner will help you draw a masquerade mask beautifully on your face. This will make the lines brighter and clearer. You can use stencils to make the painting task easier.
Scary makeup involves complex images and the use of high-quality materials in makeup. Complex makeup should be carefully thought out down to the smallest detail and, perhaps, first practiced in its creation. Typically, complex characters use artificial blood or additional objects (shards, toothpicks, lightning, etc.). To secure such items to the face or body, you can use latex and a napkin. After this, the napkin is made up in any convenient way to match the skin.
Ideas for creating such makeup can be found in the characters of popular horror films.
Beautiful makeup is designed to emphasize the natural advantages of a woman’s face - eyes, lips, cheekbones. To create a gloomy holiday look, any shade of dark tones is suitable. Don't be afraid to emphasize your eyes brighter than usual. Bold smokey eyes and provocative shades of scarlet lipstick will look quite appropriate on Halloween. You can also add matching jewelry and accessories.
The “vampire” idea is suitable for both girls and men. This look is characterized by pale skin and bright, expressive eyes. You can achieve the effect of unnatural pallor using face painting. You can add a little blue to the paint, the main thing is not to overdo it. After applying makeup, you can dust your face with light powder to achieve an almost porcelain effect. The eyes should be bright and expressive; you can add red or purple shades to the shadow palette. Don't be afraid to add additional attributes. For example, beautiful unnatural lenses or false fangs will be a wonderful highlight of the image.
Zombie is a universal character of the Halloween holiday. The advantage of such a make-up is that experiments in make-up will be a clear plus. To make your makeup look believable, you need to properly prepare your skin. What shade the face will take (greenish, bluish, white, etc.) is decided by everyone at their own discretion. Zombie makeup is distinguished by the presence of dark circles under the eyes. The “sunken eyes” effect can be achieved using a standard palette of shadows and vertical shading techniques. This can be done not only with black. The bright area around the eyes can be dark blue or even red. You can additionally highlight your eyes by framing circles in patterns. The devil is a classic figure of the other world. The palette of tones of the underworld is small, so in makeup you can limit yourself to red and black colors. Devil characters in films always have pronounced facial expressions. Therefore, in a festive make-up for Halloween, you should not be afraid to outline your eyebrows with black and give them a “playful” arch. Highlighting the cheekbones and lips is also welcome. For men in the image of a devil, you can choose a symbolic beard, highlight the eye area and eyebrows. An integral part of this character are the horns. You can buy them in a store or make them yourself, for example, from papier-mâché. These horns will look interesting; you can give them any shape or texture. To complete the look, a red trident and false tails are suitable.
The witch is a fairly common holiday hero. The character's popularity is due to the variety of makeup and costume ideas. From the lightest makeup options to multi-layered heavy textures. For those who do not want to overload their face, dark tones to highlight the eye area and bright shades of lipstick will be enough. The image can be complicated by decorating the face. Openwork cobwebs near the eyes or cheekbones will ideally fit into the set of beauty attributes for a witch. So that those around you can immediately understand what kind of character is in front of them, you can complement the image with a hat, broom or cloak.
Makeup for women on Halloween depends on their desire and temperament. Also, special attention should be paid to the appropriateness of makeup. For example, in a restaurant where a costume party is not expected, you should not go in the form of a zombie with multi-layered makeup and fragments sticking out of your face; light Cat makeup with arrows on the eyes and painted antennae will do. At the same time, many bars organize masquerade parties on the occasion of Halloween.
October 31 is perhaps the only day when no one will say that the makeup is too much. Halloween is a great occasion to feel like a professional makeup artist, designer or even a sculptor. When creating female makeup, you can experiment with cracks on the face, cuts or other objects (pins, toothpicks, fake knives, etc.).
Mummy
It is difficult to make out whose body is hidden under the decayed bandages. Perhaps Cleopatra herself? Time does not spare even the most beautiful women on the planet. But on the night before All Saints' Day, even a mummy has the right to dream of love.

To transform into a mummy, you will need liquid latex (some girls on YouTube use PVA glue instead), paper napkins, bandages and cosmetics.
Here is another, lighter version - a sexy mummy.
Joker Makeup
To create Batman's enemy, you will need to make the entire face white using paint. This will be our canvas for creativity. We darken the cheekbones and draw in the eyebrows. We make short black arrows, not pointed, apply gray and black shadows to the eyelids, blend them heavily. We paint our lips with red lipstick, being careless, we draw a long smile from the corners of the mouth. We put on a suit, let our hair down and enjoy. You will find detailed lessons from makeup artist Yulia Sizykh.
Sugar Skull
Fashionista and beauty Catherine is the star of the Day of the Dead carnival. Just touch it and it will crumble like sugar. Because she herself has been dead for a long time.

In Mexico, November 1st and 2nd are celebrated as Day of the Dead. They celebrate with a noisy carnival. Among girls, the images of Catherine (a sort of glamorous girl), the Bride and the mistress of the holiday - Santa Muerte (goddess of death) are popular. To achieve this, they use makeup called “sugar skull”.
Since the image is very bright, and the carnival almost coincides in numbers with Halloween, Katrina can often be found at parties on the eve of All Saints' Day. This is the kind of makeup suggested for her by the famous beauty blogger Elena Krygina.
