Best Halloween MakeUp Ideas to Try In 2020 As Seen In Your Favourite Influencers

Halloween is not even happening in 2 months but because we all need a little something to look forward to, we already cannot stop thinking about it! With everything that has happened in the first half of the year, we all deserve an epic halloween party to remember, don’t you think? That said, it is only right to make your look this year your best one yet with these best halloween makeup ideas to try in 2020. 

What makes halloween immensely interesting and exciting as compared to other special occasions like let’s say, weddings, birthdays or extra special night outs with your friends is that your imagination can run as wild as you want it to. You wanna go for a sexy and sultry look? Go for it! You know what they say – halloween is THAT one night when literally no one judges. You want to take a trip down memory lane and dress up as your favourite cartoon character? Be our guest. Have as much fun as you want. You want to be a literal show stopper by pulling off a scary halloween makeup to go with your outfit? We say go for it! No one is stopping you. 

That said, here is a list of the best halloween makeup – including tips and the best products to use. 

Joker But Make It Fashion 

How can we all forget that one time everyone’s idol, Jeffree Star, showed up in a full-on Joker look? A lot less morbid and gory, but it was glorious nonetheless. This makeup look created by Henry Vasquez a.k.a. No Just Henry. 

For this look, the best halloween makeup product to use would be the Make Up For Ever Flash color palette. While it is not exactly an official halloween make up product, its bright and pigmented colors are perfect for recreating looks such as that one by Jeffree Star. 

Enchanted Fairy Glow 

Not one for dark and edgy looks? Planning to look extra cute and glam for halloween this year? We fully support. Take cues from this fairy makeup look by Youtuber Ereka Jane. We absolutely love how she made us of so much light colors but it is still a definite standout once you enter the club. 

Planning to recreate this look? We highly suggest using the Nyx Professional Metallic Glitter in Lumi-Lite. It is actually almost exactly the same product Ereka Jane used for this look. 

The Mask by EllyCatt 

Not so long ago, Gigi Hadid showed up with a full face of makeup looking exactly like the mask. Makeup influencer EllyCatt followed the cue and recreated the look – a fantastic one at that. If you own a lot of yellows in your closet – particularly a set of yellow trousers and a matching blazer, you would be ready to go! 

Wednesday Addams on Halloween Night 

Because this one is a classic – it is not an entirely bad idea to show up at this crowd-favourite halloween look. This halloween makeup look by Kayla Hagey is a must try because it comes with halloween makeup tips that are beginner friendly too. With a few dabs and face beat here and there, you would be ready to go in no time. 

The most important thing to pull off this look is to make sure you have well-defined eyebrows and precise eye makeup. Make sure to start off with a ghost white-base so that entails having to prep your face properly. 

For the eyebrow department at least, our best bet is the Wet N’ Wild Ultimate Brow Kit. Again, it is not an official halloween makeup product, but it does the job pretty well. 

Studded Skeleton 

Another look we all loved was this gem-studded skeleton look by Manny Mua. In his post, he shared that it took him at least four (yes, you read that right – four!)  hours to pull off this look but both you and I can agree that it was definitely double-glance worthy and to say the least it was worth it. 

While it is a little tedious because you will have to stick the studs carefully so as not to ruin the look, we think it is fairly achievable, just invest in high quality face paint and skin-safe gem stick ons. 

Man X Machine

You know how we all joke about 2020 being the next season of Black Mirror? How about take that a step further and use it as an inspiration. Show up to your halloween party as half a (wo)man, half machine. In this halloween makeup look by Jaclyn Forbes, you would be the robot (star) of the night. 

Among the others listed here, we will be honest. This one might be the hardest one to pull off but for as long as you carefully follow Jaclyn Forbes’ halloween makeup tips throughout the video, you will do just fine. We highly recommend using Silver Metallic Cream Makeup Costume Accessory to achieve that perfect silver gradient. 

Zombie But Not Too Gory 

We will consider this makeup look as “creep-enough-but-still-not-too-creepy”. This makeup look by Shaaanxo is perfect for beginners because all you need is the perfect fine-tipped brush to make it happen. Another upside to this look is that you would not be having that much problems with taking it all off, too. 

Offhand, you can make things even easier by using an eyeliner to draw the lines, however, it might look too stiff. Our best bet is to try doing this  with the Da Vinci Cosmetics Classic Series 4504 Eyeliner Brush. 

Poison Ivy 

Here is one for the DC Fans. If you want to go for something that is both geeky and sexy, this makeup look might just be the perfect one for you. You will just be needing a couple of materials. The best part? Trying to create this look by Kayleigh Noelle  in itself is already an adventure. 

In her tutorial, she also gave specific instructions and tips aside from the full-detailed makeup look. 

She A Monster 

Looking for a challenging makeup look that is completely horrifying? This big mouth monster makeup look by Ophelie definitely tops our list. If “cannot look away” is the reaction you are going for – this is definitely it. Note however, that it can be a little challenging and you will need some extra patience in achieving this look. 

Also, it might be a great idea to ask a friend or two to join in the fun. To make things easier, the best halloween makeup product to use would be the Mehron MakeUp Special Effects Kit. 

Khaleesi For Halloween 

Are you a big Game of Thrones fun? This is definitely the best halloween makeup for you. At first glance, you can already tell that Youtuber and Beauty Influencer Carli Bybel did a good job because you literally see Emilia Clarke right on the first glance. With this fierce and gorgeous halloween makeup look, you will definitely be slaying more dragons than Khaleesi herself. Also, don’t you think 2020 makes the series ending a little less bad than it actually is? 

Try recreating this look with the Sephora Collection Eyebrow Editor. 

Snow White 

Grew up loving Disney princesses? So did we. If your goal is to become the apple of everyone’s eyes and the fairest of them all, this Disney princess-inspired makeup look will make your night one for the books. This halloween makeup look by Emma Pickles is a little subtle but still interesting enough that you can actually wear it for other occasions too. 

To perfect the look, color those lips with the Maybelline New York Color Sensational Lipstick in the shade “On Fire Red”. 

Halloween only happens once in a year – and fingers crossed, the epic night that it is going to be hopefully makes up for everything that we have missed out on throughout the year.
