Halloween Makeup Made Easy - a Step-by-Step Guide

Make your Halloween makeup easy this year with LoveChild by your side! We believe in celebrating inclusive beauty through boldness and originality, and this scary season is no exception. With our simple Halloween makeup ideas, we’ll help you look your spookiest best this Halloween party! Let’s begin the spooky ride!

For a simple grunge look that is suitable for any Halloween costume, focus on these three things: eyes, brows and lips. Let’s see how we can achieve a simple Halloween makeup look with three easy steps.

Step 1: Brows

With our Brow Binge Palette, outline the natural curve of your brows for a thick arch with a strong, edgy appearance. Fill them in with short, hair-like strokes to keep them looking natural but bold. To get a dramatic, grunge style, ensure that the brow tail is crisp. 

Step 2: Eyes

Apply Nazar Na Lage Kajal liberally to both your upper and lower lash lines. For a subtle, smokey appearance, smear the kajal outward with your finger or a brush rather than being precise.

Step 3: Lips

Apply a nude pink shade, such as the Sweet Supreme Luxe-Matte Lipstick. This gives the look a perfect contrast with the dramatic eye makeup. For a more grungy effect, softly blot your lips after application or smudge the corners for a worn-in, casual appearance!

Are you ready to turn into your iconic entertainment character? Let's take a look at some simple Halloween makeup ideas that help recreate legendary looks. Whether you're playing an adored figure or a gorgeous villain, get ready to unleash your inner superstar!

1. BLACK SWAN MAKEUP

Step 1: Prep and Base

1. Foundation: Use the Lights! Camera! Foundation! Matte Finish to get that smooth and flawless base. Choose a hue that is lighter than your natural skin tone to get a porcelain-doll complexion.
2. Concealer: To brighten your complexion, apply the Concealer Cameo under your eyes, and on the blemishes you wish to conceal. Next, dab it on the centre of your forehead, nose, and chin. To get an even finish, thoroughly blend it with fingertips.

Step 2: Contouring

1. Concealer: Contour your face with a darker concealer. Using our Concealer Cameo, concentrate on the hollows of your cheekbones, the area down your jawline, and along the sides of your nose. Blend it out well to get a well-defined look while avoiding awkward sharp edges.
2. Blush: Apply the Band Baaja Blush lightly on the apples of your cheeks, but avoid overdoing it. Remember to keep the attention on your eyes. 

Step 3: Eyes

1. Brows: Begin by defining your brows with the Brow Binge Palette. Make strong, angular, and dramatic brows to give your face a more intense look.
2. Kajal & Eyeliner: Use the Nazar Na Lage Kajal to line both the upper and lower lash lines. Go for strong and broad lines that make a statement.

Create the iconic Black Swan winged eye with our Wings For Your Eyes Liner. Extend the eyeliner all the way out from the corners of your eyes to create sharp, feather-like wings. Then fill them in.

From your bottom lash line, draw and extend the line slightly downward. This lets you create the theatre ballet look. Continue to blend softly with your brush to produce a lovely feathery appearance around the edges.

To resemble the swan's feathers, draw small feather-like strokes around your eyes with kajal or eyeliner. The lines should be strong and exact, and gently blend to add character.

Lastly, enhance the intensity of the eyes by adding kajal to the waterline and smearing it around the eyes to create a smoky look. 

Step 4: Lips

For definition, start by lining the lips with our crimson YOLO- Passport Pucker Lip Booster Matte Liner. 

Next, fill them in by applying lipstick to create a rich, dramatic pout. Take A Dare- Game On! Mad-Matte Liquid Lipstick is a deep red tint that works well on the lips.

Step 5: Final Touches

Sharpen any areas, such as your eyeliner wings or brows, to produce a clean, finished look.

Using the Swipe Right Blending Brush, soften any sharp contour lines and blend the blush into the face for a natural transition.

2. QUEEN OF HEARTS MAKEUP

This stunning Queen of Hearts makeup look transports you to a realm of elegance and fun! Inspired by the popular cards game, this makeup look focuses on vivid colours, dramatic features, and a touch of fantasy. This cute Halloween makeup requires only a few essential products—such as blush, eyeliner, and a dramatic lip colour—and capture that Royal Flush!

Step 1: Primer

To create a smooth basis for your makeup, first use the City Proof Hydrating Primer. This will help the foundation spread evenly and last longer.

Step 2: Base

Apply the Lights! Camera! Foundation! Matte Finish evenly throughout your face and neck for a perfect, even look. To get a smooth finish, thoroughly blend it with a sponge or brush.

Use the Concealer Cameo to conceal dark circles, imperfections, and emphasise your face's high points. Blend everything completely for a smooth, bright appearance.

Step 3: Blush

To achieve that royal flush effect, you’ll need to apply lots of blush. Luckily, our Bubblegum Baraat - Band Baaja Blush is the perfect creme blush that’ll help you achieve this look. Here’s how:

1. Blush as Eyeshadow: Apply the blush generously to your eyelids. Spread it up towards the brows and outward. This creates a dramatic, rosy flush appearance as the ‘Queen of Hearts’.

2. Blush under Eyes: Continue to glide the blush under the lower lash line to get a dramatic, flushed look. This contributes to the whimsical, regal feel of the ‘Queen of Hearts’ appearance.

3. Blush for Contour: Sweep the same blush below your cheekbones to create a dramatic, pink contour. Blend upward towards your temples to elevate your face.

Step 4: Heart Details

To achieve the iconic heart shaped features beneath your eyes, use the blush and a little stencil (cut out a stencil from paper).

Apply two small heart shapes on the apples of your cheeks. They should be symmetrical and bold. Next, dab the blush onto the stencil and around, when you remove the cutouts and tada! You have your pretty cute hearts!

Step 5: Lips

1. Lipstick: Apply Popsicle Luxe-Matte Lipstick on your lips. Fill in with lipstick to create a beautiful, heart-inspired crimson pout.
2. Lip-oil: After applying lipstick, dab a little amount of Cherryccino- Lip Gelato Tinted Lip Oil in the centre of your lips to create a glossy finish and keep your lips nourished.

Step 6: Eyes

1. Eyeliner: Line your top lash line with Wings For Your Eyes eyeliner. Draw the liner outward and flick a little wing to retain the attention on your eyes while allowing the pink tint around your eyes to shine.
2. Brows: Fill them in gently with Brow Me Points - Tinted Brow Gel to help frame your eyes, but keep the look natural to balance the dramatic blush and lip colours.

CRUELLA DEVILLE MAKEUP

Cruella de Vil is more than simply a villain; she's an icon. As one of Disney's most known characters, she embodies a bold confidence and a passion for fashion. What distinguishes Cruella is her ability to combine villainy and glamour, transforming evil into something unquestionably stylish! To recreate the gorgeous Cruella’s Halloween makeup look, simply concentrate on the face, eyes, and lips. Here’s how:

1. Foundation: Apply the Lights! Camera! Foundation! Matte Finish to your face and neck to produce a smooth, uniform base. Be sure to mix properly, aiming for a porcelain-like finish.
2. Concealer: The Concealer Cameo brightens areas like the under-eyes, centre of the forehead, chin, and bridge of the nose. Blend it out to achieve a clean, accentuated effect.

Step 2: Contour

Use the Concealer Cameo that is a few shades darker than your skin tone to contour the hollows of your cheekbones, your jawline, and the sides of your nose. Blend gently to retain the contour crisp and distinct, just like Cruella's striking face structure.

Step 3: Eyes

1. Kajal: Use the Nazar Na Lage Kajal for the smeared black makeup appearance around your eyes. Apply generously along your upper and lower lash lines, then smudge it out with your finger to create a smeared, smokey look that extends slightly outward. You may increase the smudge effect by applying additional kajal until you are satisfied.
2. Eyeliner: To achieve the high-fashion glam, apply the Wings For Your Eyes Eyeliner to create a dramatic wing along the top lash line. Extend the wing widely outward to give the eyes an exaggerated, elongated appearance, in keeping with the Cruella style.

Step 4: Brows

Fill in your eyebrows with the Brow Binge Palette, keeping them crisp and slightly arched. Prominent brows give your face a powerful appearance, channelling Cruella's fiery personality.

Step 5: Beauty Spot

To create the original Cruella beauty mark, use your eyeliner to draw a little dot on the top portion of your right cheek (near the eye).

Step 6: Lips

The Take A Dare - Game On! Mad-Matte Liquid Lipstick is perfect for Cruella's distinctive strong lips. Showcasing a strong and passionate look. Apply all over your lips with this rich red hue for that trademark wicked look.

4. POISON IVY 

Poison Ivy, one of Batman's most renowned nemesis, is more than a menace to Gotham. She's also a ferocious guardian of the natural world, using her beauty and botanical powers to control people and plants. When you create a Poison Ivy Halloween makeup look, you are channelling both her strong love for nature and her seductive demeanour. Let's go over the essential tips for creating this makeup look using minimal products.

Step 1: Primer

Use the City Proof Hydrating Primer to ensure that your makeup lasts all night and provides a smooth canvas for the foundation.

Step 2: Base

1. Foundation: Apply the Lights! Camera! Foundation! Matte Finish to your face and neck to produce a smooth, uniform base. Be sure to blend properly to get the ideal base finish.
2. Concealer: The Concealer Cameo lightens areas like the under-eyes, centre of the forehead, chin, and bridge of the nose. Blend it out to achieve a clean, accentuated effect.

Step 3: Brows

Use the Brow Binge Palette to fill in your brows and frame your face. Keep them soft and arched for a powerful yet feminine appearance. In this way, you match Poison Ivy's sinister charm with natural arched brows. 

Step 4: Liner For Eyes

Make a dramatic winged line with the Wings For Your Eyes liner. Begin at the inner corner of your eyes and stretch the wing outward for a sultry and elongated appearance, ideal for the ‘Poison Ivy’ look! You may sharpen the wing to match the dramatic attire.

Step 5: Blush

Use the Shocking Sharbat- Band Baaja Blush on the apples of your cheeks. Blend it gently upward towards your temples to create a raised and youthful appearance.

For a more themed appearance, lightly powder your eyelids with blush to create a subtle, earthy glow that ties the face together.

Step 6: Highlighter

Apply the Sitara-Highlighted Nakhre Shimmery Face Highlighter on the top of your cheekbones, the bridge of your nose, and the Cupid's bow. 

This will give your Halloween makeup look a luminous, nature-inspired glow that adds to its overall Ivy charm.

Step 7: Lips

To finish the look, use Hot-Pop Luxe-Matte Lipstick. This rich colour will pop against the green of the costume, exuding a seductive but menacing attitude that captures Poison Ivy's spirit.

Apply a dab of highlighter or gloss to the centre of your lips to give definition.
