Easy and quick Halloween makeup looks and tutorials

The mermaid look really kicked off last year and we think it will definitely be back and better than ever in 2018. With the launch of the TV show Sirens and so many mermaid-inspired makeup products, this look will be very popular this Halloween.

As intense as this makeup looks, it’s actually super simple. The main thing you need is some fishnet stockings and fun coloured eyeshadows. The best part is that you don’t have to worry about perfect placement – it all just adds to the look! You can also choose to apply as many or as little scales as you like.

For something a little on the scary side, this simple clown makeup is perfect. The only difference to your normal makeup routine is adding the clown eye markings and overdrawing your lipstick.

You can also choose just how much makeup you want to wear and whether or not you want to add the contact lenses. With the IT movie franchise skyrocketing the popularity of clown costumes, this is an easy makeup look that will fit right in this Halloween.

Sometimes you just want to go with a classic look for Halloween. Vampire costumes are always a win, but it’s the makeup that really makes the entire outfit come together. However, it doesn’t need to be difficult.

Easily one of the most popular Instagram looks for Halloween is the deer makeup look. If you’re not really into the whole horror thing, then this is not only an easy look to create, but it will suit you perfectly.

If you weren’t already convinced, you don’t even need to buy anything special to recreate this look. A contour kit and some liner is all you need to pull it off. Pair the makeup with some brown clothing and hey presto, your costume is done!

Another go-to Halloween look is a skeleton or skull. You don’t need to go all out with a full face of paint. You can actually achieve a great skull look with makeup that you already own. While it might seem like there are a lot of steps, the steps themselves are super simple and easy to achieve.

In order to recreate this look you really just need some brown and black shadows and you can do as little or as much as you like, depending on your preference or how much time you have.

Everyone loves a little bit of gore for Halloween, but a lot of super gorey looks can also include a lot of effort. You have to purchase liquid latex and other hard-to-find materials.

This is a classic Halloween costume. It’s also super easy and great for those who need to whip up a last-minute costume.

If you love getting glam on Halloween, then this look is for you. Our favourite thing about this look is that it could actually work for a whole range of costumes. A gypsy, witch, pirate or fortune teller costume would go incredibly well with this makeup, which is why we love it.

You also have the option to wear as little or as much makeup as you like, making this look incredibly versatile.
