5 Easy Halloween Makeup Tutorials To Funk Up Your Look!

It’s that time of the year when Halloween dawns upon us again! The ‘supposed-to-be’ scary tradition has eventually become more of a style statement over the years. Yes, in the past we have seen those generic Halloween costumes, which are, in all honesty, sort-of overdone and clichéd *cough* nurse, Catwoman, bunny *cough*. I mean, remember Mean Girls? No, we are in no way encouraging you to dress the Mean Girls way (unless that’s your thing), but yes, we can help you make your costume selection a bit more…interesting (unless you want to have an ‘I’m a mouse, duh!’ moment).

Speaking from experience, I am aware what a task getting that Halloween makeup right can be. I know it’s a scary holiday, but the look won’t really be appreciated if that’s not what you were going for in the first place, right? Over ambitious or too cautious — either way, there’s always a major chance that you’ll end up looking like ‘Barbie On Elm Street’ instead. Well, to make your life a little easier, we’ve got your back — scroll down to see a couple of easy and gorgeous Halloween makeup looks you can give a go this time!
