Remember the iconic Halloween scene from Mean Girls? Where Cady is dressed as a zombie bride, while Regina makes a chic bunny costume look effortlessly fashionable. If you’re a minimalist and don’t want to go overboard with your Halloween look, we have a perfect surprise for you.
Halloween makeup is a great way to switch things up from your everyday ‘IT-girl’ routine. There’s something exciting about embodying your favourite character, being, or entity. The only challenge is deciding on a look for the night. It can be a bit daunting, especially when some people take it very seriously. But if you’re feeling stuck, don’t worry—you’re in luck! We’ve handpicked some super-easy Halloween makeup ideas for you to try this season.
Not everyone wants to paint themselves blue or green for the sake of one night, and if that sounds like you, why not try these simple Halloween makeup looks using Uroparis’s professional-grade SFX makeup collection?
No costume? No problem! These easy DIY looks require minimal effort but still pack a punch.
1. Spidy Glam
Very chic, very easy. Create this spider-inspired glam eyeshadow look with minimal products. Draw a half-dangling spider web towards the outer corner of your eyes using Uroparis Cake Eyeliner and a bent eyeliner brush like Uroparis 143. Top it off with spider-inspired Uroparis PRO 8 glam lashes.
2. The Zombie Bride
For a zombie-inspired look that’s not too over-the-top or gory, try this washed-out zombie bride look. Begin with an ash-toned eyeshadow, applying it to your eyelids and blending along the upper and lower lash lines. Extend the shadow down to accentuate the bone structure around your nose, cheekbones, neck, and collarbones for a hollow, ghostly effect. Then, take a pea-sized amount of Uroparis Gel Blood and carefully build a wound at the corner of your mouth, with another on the opposite side, just under your jaw. Once you’re satisfied with the look, finish off with Uroparis LV Pro 2 lashes for an added dramatic touch.
3. Miss Annabelle
If you want to go a little ‘Halloween-y’ but still play it safe, then this look is the best choice for you. Begin with a basic maroon or burgundy glam eye makeup. Then, using Uroparis Gel Blood, draw ‘blood’ tear lines running from your eyes and nostrils. On your forehead, create a cross using the same gel blood. To elevate the effect, use theatrical blood and a fan brush to lightly sprinkle some around the fake wounds on your forehead and nostrils. Pair the look with your favourite Uroparis PRO 1 lashes for a striking finish.
4. Martha from Hotel Transylvania
When it comes to horror classics, it would be a shame not to include a look inspired by this iconic horror-comedy series. Start by outlining your upper and lower lash lines with a dark brown or black shade. Then, use a maroon or burgundy shade to diffuse the harsh lines, creating a soft gradient effect. Apply a bit of Uroparis Liquid Latex just above your cheekbones, where you’d typically apply concealer. Finish the look with a dark wine-shade lipstick, topped with clear gloss for extra shine. Complete the look with our voluminous Uroparis PRO LV 3 lashes for that dramatic flair.
5. The Stitch Incoming!
A timeless Halloween favourite! To create this classic look that never gets old, start by using Uroparis collodion to section your face into roughly four parts. Next, with Uroparis Sticky Wax, build up a layer along the edges of the two diagonal sections on your face. Warm the wax in your palm, mould it into the desired shape and apply it to your skin. Blend the edges seamlessly into your skin. Then, apply latex as a final skin coating. Apply makeup to only one eye, and finish by adding small pin-like accessories along the edges of the artificial skin. Wearing a contact lens in one eye is optional for an extra eerie effect.
