This Halloween makeup look creates a bewitching witch with overdone blush, purple shadow, and a spiderweb design on one eye. The lips feature a black outline blended into purple with a lilac ombre center, while contouring makes the nose appear pointed. Perfect for a spooky yet glamorous costume.

Directions

  1. Start with a clean face: wash, tone, moisturize, and apply your regular primer.
  2. Put on your normal foundation across the entire face.
  3. Take a red liquid blush and apply it heavily high on the cheekbones, so the color is very bright and looks intentionally overdone.
  4. Dust white setting powder all over your face.
  5. Dampen an eyeshadow brush and sweep purple shadow onto the eyelids and under the lower lashes. This makes the color more intense.
  6. Using an angled brush, place black eyeshadow on the outer eye corners, extending above the crease and below the lower lash line; form a curve and blend everything together.
  7. With liquid eyeliner, make two dots in a diagonal line – one at each outer corner, about 1 centimeter out. These dots guide the flick.
  8. Line both the top and bottom lash lines with eyeliner, connecting to the dots, and make the outer edges slightly thicker.
  9. Now for the spiderweb. Pick one eye and use the eyeliner to draw 4 to 5 slightly curved lines radiating outward from the existing liner.
  10. Connect these curved lines with swooping strokes that link them, creating a web pattern.
  11. Wet a thin brush and pick up purple shadow; follow the eyeliner point downward toward the inner corner of the eye.
  12. Fill in your eyebrows with black eyeshadow.
  13. Apply a heavy coat of mascara to both the upper and lower lashes.
  14. Using black lipstick, outline the lips with a thick line, leaving the center of the lips bare.
  15. Fill in the center of the lips with purple lipstick or gloss, overlapping and blending into the black outline.
  16. With a flat brush, dab lilac lipstick right in the middle of the lips to create an ombre fade.
  17. Apply a darker powder along the inner bridge of the nose and blend well.
  18. Sweep highlighter or white eyeshadow from the tip of the nose upward toward the forehead to make the nose look pointed.
