Witch Makeup
The classic witch look is a spirit of Halloween favorites. To achieve this look, start with a green complexion, which can be achieved with green face paint or makeup. You can add warts to your nose using special effects makeup or even craft putty to create a gnarled, witch-like nose. The key to this look is the dramatic black makeup. Use black eyeshadow or eyeliner to create dark, smoky eyes, and don't forget to draw arched and sinister eyebrows. Finish the look with black lipstick or dark plum shades for an extra touch of dark magic.

Zombie Makeup
Creating a gruesome undead appearance is all about making your skin look pale and lifeless. You can use white or gray face paint to achieve this effect. To add the rotting wounds, you can use special effects makeup like liquid latex and tissue paper to create textured, decaying areas on your face. Adding fake blood or oozing wounds enhances the halloween zombie look. Make your eyes look sunken and dark by using dark eyeshadow or eyeliner around the eye sockets. Consider using white or gray contact lenses for a truly eerie effect.

Vampire
To achieve a seductive vampire look, start with a pale, porcelain complexion and use foundation or face paint. Focus on the lips with dark red lipstick and fake fangs for authenticity. Enhance the eyes with dark, smoky makeup and red or purple eyeshadow. Finish with contouring for sharp cheekbones and a mysterious appearance.

Halloween Pumpkin
Embracing the spirit of Halloween with a cheerful pumpkin look is a fun and creative choice. Start by using orange face paint or makeup to create a bright, pumpkin-colored base on your face. To achieve the carved pumpkin effect, use black face paint or eyeliner to draw triangular eyes, a nose, and a grinning mouth with teeth. You can also add shading and highlights to create dimension and make your pumpkin face pop. This look is playful and perfect for those who want a friendly Halloween appearance.

Clown Makeup
To achieve a clown makeup look for Halloween, use a white face base. Create colorful and expressive eye makeup with dramatic eyeliner, vibrant eyeshadow, and playful accents around the eyes. Draw a wide, cheerful smile with red lipstick and extend it beyond the natural lip line for a fun effect. You may also mimic the teardrop patterns under one eye, to add a touch of whimsy.
