11 Devil Makeup Looks For a Hot Halloween

Directions

  1. Red Devil: Classic makeup details like a smoky eye and well-shaped lips amidst the cracked red base make for a more glamorized devil in comparison to the gory examples you may have seen while scouring Instagram.
  2. Sparkling Devil: Add some sparkle to your devil makeup by using red and holographic glitter as the finishing touch to a cut crease. The contrast between the matte red lips and glitter eye is purely (evil) genius. For the glitter, try NYX's Face and Body Glitter in Ruby.
  3. Glossy Devil: A clever take on devil makeup that plays with different eyeshadow textures is this glossy but oh-so-easy look. To achieve, simply blend a red eyeshadow on your eyelids and throughout your crease. Then, place a small amount of clear lip gloss onto the back of your hand, and using a dense eyeshadow brush, dab a bit of the gloss across the center of your lid.
  4. Frightful Devil: Equipped with gory horns and all, this devil look will haunt anyone in its path. You'll definitely need some prosthetic devil horns and spirit gum to recreate this look for maximum effect.
  5. Vampy Devil: A subtle red cat eye and vampy lip makes us think that this look is perfect for anyone who wants their devilish look to feel sultry and a little glam. Pop in some red contacts to give your devilish Halloween makeup an extra boost.
  6. 10-Minute Devil: When all else fails, keep things ultra simple with a red cut crease and red glitter eyeliner.
  7. Sweet Devil: Create this look with red face paint, fake horns, black lipstick, dramatic lashes, and then finish with the small heart details. This gorgeous glam dials up both the sweet and the spicy.
  8. Chic Devil: With a bold red lip, a smattering of face jewels, and a fun winged devil tail in lieu of eyeliner, this understated look still packs a devilish punch.
  9. Bejeweled Devil: With deep red lips lined in black and a shock of fushia around the smoky eye, this inspired style ups the ante with a pop of bling by way of face jewels.
  10. Pink Devil: This fresh-faced technique delivers its devilish drama with fun pink accents and red devil horns painted above one eyebrow and then lined with glitter.
  11. Dramatic Devil: More is more with this look. Pair bright red face jewels with red glitter face makeup and deeply pigmented red glitter eyeshadow. Sparkly, sultry and scary—this beautiful, bold approach takes the theatrics to another level.
