Easy Halloween Makeup Ideas Anyone Can Pull Off in 2022

Halloween is one of the most fun holidays! Who doesn’t love dressing up and seeing all the spooky decorations? We've put together some easy Halloween makeup ideas that anyone can pull off. Whether you're looking for a simple way to add a bit of spookiness to your look, or you want the makeup to serve as the costume, we've got you covered. So check out these easy Halloween makeup ideas, and get ready to wow everyone on Halloween night!

Vampire

One of the most popular Halloween looks is the vampire, and for good reason - it’s easy to do but still looks good. To create a vampire look, start by applying a white foundation or primer all over your face to give you a pale look.

Next, use a black contouring pencil to create hollows under your cheekbones and along your jawline. 

Then, use a reddish-toned lip liner (have you tried our new lip liners yet?!) to line your lips and fill in with a dark lipstick or gloss. For the final touch, apply some false eyelashes and add a few drops of fake blood to your lips and chin.

Scarecrow

If you're looking for a fun and easy costume idea, why not try out a scarecrow makeup look? To get started, you'll need some foundation that's a few shades darker than your natural skin tone. Once you've got your base layer in place, it's time to start adding in some details. First, use a dark brown eyeshadow to create some shadows around your eyes - this will help to give your scarecrow a tired, sunken-in look. Then, use a white or black pencil to draw on some stitches around your mouth and nose. You can also use a dark red lip liner to color your nose and draw circles on the apples of your cheeks. 

For the finishing touch, add a little bit of hay to your hair and clothes. And there you have it - a simple but effective scarecrow costume that is sure to stand out from the rest!

Clown

One of the great things about clown makeup is that it doesn't have to be perfect to look good. In fact, the messier it is, the better! Here's a quick and easy guide to creating a Clown Halloween makeup look.

Start by applying a white base all over your face. You can use foundation, face paint, or even just plain old white powder. Then, start adding in some color. For a classic clown look, go with red on the cheeks and lips, and either blue or black around the eyes. If you want something a little more unique, get creative with your color choices! Once you're happy with your overall look, add some final details like stripes or polka dots. And don’t forget to draw an overexaggerated clown smile. With just a few simple steps, you've created an easy and impressive clown Halloween makeup look.

Cat

Cat Halloween makeup is easy to do and only requires a few supplies that you probably already have at home. First, start with a clean face and apply a base foundation all over. This will help the rest of the makeup go on smoothly and evenly. Next, take a black eyeliner pencil and draw a line from the outer corner of each eye, extending slightly beyond the eyebrow. Then, use a smudge brush or your fingers to blend the liner outwards to create a "cat eye" look. Next, use a white eyeliner pencil to draw tiny dots all over your forehead, cheeks, and chin. These will be the "whiskers." Then, color in the tip of your nose with a black eyeliner pencil or paint to make the cat nose.  Finally, apply some blush to the apples of your cheeks for a rosy glow. And that's it! You're now ready to celebrate Halloween as a fashionable feline.

How to Remove Halloween Makeup Without Damaging Your Skin 

Halloween is a great time to experiment with fun makeup looks. However, removing Halloween makeup can be a challenge, especially if you're trying to avoid damaging your skin. Luckily, there are a few simple steps you can follow to remove your Halloween makeup without damaging your skin.

First, make sure you have a good cleanser on hand. A gentle, oil-based cleanser will help break down the makeup and remove it from your skin without stripping away natural oils. 

Next, use a soft cloth or cotton pad to gently remove the makeup. Avoid rubbing or scrubbing your skin, as this can cause irritation. 

Finally, rinse your face with warm water and follow up with a hydrating skincare routine like the one below to repair your skin overnight. 

Easy Hydrating Skincare Routine

Step 1: Cleanse with a gentle cleanser to prep the skin for the rest of the skincare routine and remove any leftover grime or makeup.

Step 2: Use a hydrating toner to soothe the skin.

Step 3: Slather a rich, hydrating cream all over the face as a last step before bed to seal in moisture and wake up to softer skin. Be sure to also apply eye cream, especially if you were wearing a lot of heavy makeup on the eyes! 

By following these simple steps, you can easily remove your Halloween makeup without damaging your skin.
