The Only 9 Halloween Makeup Tutorials You Need This Year

Directions

1. A heart-shaped lip is essential for this look. If you'd rather skip a wild clown wig, there's a guide for turning your natural hair into something crazily styled.
2. This ghost looks hauntingly beautiful. The same concept suits a ghostly bride, especially with long silvery-gray hair.
3. The days of vampire costumes slathered in fake blood are over. The modern vampire is beautiful, but you still need fangs.
4. Always wanted to be an underwater sea goddess? Halloween is a great chance to make that happen. We used fishnet material as a stencil to create scale patterns on the cheekbones. If you prefer a natural look, skip the bright blue hair and go for beachy waves.
5. This tutorial is the cherry on top of our Halloween makeup collection. It's a timeless choice that gives you the freedom to act like royalty for one night.
6. Nothing beats the classic black cat! You just need your regular makeup, as long as you have the right black eyeliner.
7. This fairy look makes you want to flutter into FernGully or A Midsummer Night's Dream. Whatever fairy theme you choose, this basic how-to will quickly elevate your costume.
8. Being green isn't easy, especially if you're a misunderstood witch. Don't apply too much green base, and save the drama for your cheekbones and eyebrows.
9. This look is equally pretty and creepy, perfect for dressing up as Raggedy Ann, Pippi Longstocking, or Wendy (from Wendy's). If you can't find a red wig, use red yarn instead.
