From sexy to scary to smokey, these devil eye makeup tutorials use bold colors and dramatic lines to transform your gaze. Follow step-by-step instructions for arched brows, cat-eye extensions, and smudged black lids to create the perfect Halloween look.

Directions

Fill in your brows with a dark brown or black eyebrow pencil, shaping a sharp arch and tapering the outer corners slightly outward.

Apply a thin line of liquid black eyeliner along both your upper and lower lash lines.

Cover your upper eyelids with red or black glitter eyeshadow; if unavailable, use stage makeup instead.

Extend the shadow past the outer corners of your eyes to create an exaggerated cat-eye shape.

Apply a pearl or gold eyeshadow over the remaining lid area, blending up to your brow bone.

Apply several coats of mascara or wear false eyelashes—red mascara or lashes with red tips add a devilish touch.

Using a black eyebrow pencil, draw an arched shape over each eyebrow, adding a pointed peak at the highest point.

Shade the entire eye area—upper lid up to the brow and under the eye—with black color, blending well.

Bring a dark line downward from the outer corners of your eyes about an inch; repeat at the inner corners if you like.

Highlight just beneath your eyebrows using gold color.

Instead of following your natural brow arch, draw a thin black line from the inner brows upward and slightly over the eyebrows, extending upward rather than downward.

Color the entire eye area black, smudging thoroughly to achieve a smokey effect.

Using a thin-tipped brush, apply jagged red or gold lines in a random pattern around the eye area.
