What is the easiest Halloween makeup?

Scarecrow Makeup or Clown Makeup. Both use round blush circles, painted freckles and simple shapes. Skeleton Makeup takes longer, because the white base has to cover the whole face evenly before the black goes on.

Can I try face paint looks on my selfie?

Yes, the try-on paints them onto your selfie in about 20 seconds. The result adds only the paint, and you get 3 free try-ons without an account.

Are any of these looks scary?

No. None of them use blood, gore or wounds. The clown is cheerful, the scarecrow is friendly and the skeleton is a clean graphic skull. Vampire and Witch are dark but elegant glam.

Halloween makeup ideas

These are five Halloween looks made with makeup and face paint, with no fake blood or wounds. Skeleton, Clown and Scarecrow are face paint looks, built from cream paint in white, black, red and orange and a few simple shapes. Vampire and Witch are glam looks you can do from your usual makeup bag, plus a dark lipstick and a fine liner for the drawn details.

Face paint goes on with the same try-on as any other look, in about 20 seconds. Try two or three costumes on your selfie, pick the one you like, then keep the result open on your phone as a guide while you paint.

Halloween makeup tips

Use cream face paint made for skin, not craft or acrylic paint. Set white and bright colours with a matching powder so they don't smear onto your costume.
Paint the light areas first and the black details last. For Skeleton Makeup, cover the face in white, then add the black eye sockets, the nose and the teeth.
For clean lines, use a small pointed brush and rest your little finger on your cheek to steady your hand. A black liquid liner is enough for fine details like the witch's spiderweb and the scarecrow's stitches.
Short on time? Scarecrow Makeup is mostly round orange blush circles, brown freckles and a few black stitch lines, so it is much quicker than a full white skull.
Want to look glam rather than painted? Vampire Makeup and Witch Makeup use a smoky eye, a sharp black wing and a dark matte lip, and they go with a black dress or a cape.
