Spooky season is officially here, and whether you're reaching for your brushes or just snapping that perfect Instagram shot, Facetune has you covered. You don't need to be a pro makeup artist to achieve afterlife glam.

Easy Halloween makeup looks

Brat makeup: Sooo Julia

Now that brat summer is over, it's time for bratumn to begin. We're transitioning to the spooky season while maintaining that main character energy. If you're looking for subtle Halloween face makeup that's still totally on trend - this one's for you!

The secret is in the eyes - the key to this Halloween eyeshadow look is that specific shade of bright green as an eyeshadow, paired with a bold dark eyeliner. Add dramatic lashes to make your eyes pop out even more. Put on a bright green fit and you're good to go!

Zombie makeup

Beetlejuice beetlejuice! Regular zombies are out to decay and this year Beetlejuice is the new zombie makeup look. With the release of the iconic horror-comic movie sequel, we're seeing creature makeup looks are back.

Think bold shades of green and purple, accented with black and white. Start with a pale, never-seen-the-light-of-day base and add some mossy green touches. Bring it all together with smokey purple eyeshadow for that extra deadly glow.

Skeleton makeup

Jack Skellington comes to life (again). Halloween is Tim Burton's time to shine. Jack Skellington from The Nightmare Before Christmas is the ultimate skeleton inspo. We love a classy, deadly, high contrast, black and white makeup. Hauntingly glamorous.

To achieve this timeless glam, contour the structure of your face and your nose with black on a white base face makeup. Outline your dark lips with sharp black lines. And don't forget the smoky eyeshadow and bold eyebrows for that death-stare! This Halloween eyeliner look is sure to turn heads.

Fairycore and Cottagecore makeup

These whimsical aesthetics are perfect for a softer Halloween look. For fairycore, use shimmery, iridescent eyeshadows and add some face gems or glitter. Cottagecore calls for a more natural look with rosy cheeks, freckles, and a soft pink lip. Both styles can be enhanced with flower crowns or delicate hair accessories.

Bridgerton-inspired makeup

For a more elegant Halloween look, take inspiration from the hit show Bridgerton. Think soft, romantic makeup with rosy cheeks, subtle eyeshadows in pastel hues, and a natural pink lip. Add some pearlescent highlighter for that dewy, aristocratic glow. Don't forget to incorporate some regency-era hair accessories to complete the look.

Witch makeup

Dark energy is key. Witchcraft and magic involves glitter, and a lot of it. Whether you're aiming to be a good or a bad witch, a glamorous witch has a few tricks at her fingertips. Witches have a wide range of spookiness - you can go all the way from creepy through mystical and glamorous.

Whether you're going for wicked or whimsical, every witch look needs a bit of sparkle. To achieve this witch couture, start with dark lips and enchanting colorful eyeshadow - think purple, green, teal, or orange. Add facial glitter and gems for a shimmery magical effect. Top it off with a pointed hat for the perfect witchy touch!

For a more current twist, take inspiration from Ariana Grande's upcoming portrayal of Glinda in the "Wicked" movie. Think sparkly, ethereal makeup with shimmering pastel eyeshadows and a frosted pink lip for a good witch vibe.

Professional Halloween makeup

For those looking to take their Halloween makeup to the next level, consider these advanced techniques:

Clown makeup

Create a terrifying circus look with exaggerated features and bold colors. Use white face paint as a base, then add vibrant eyeshadow and dramatic lip shapes. Don't forget the signature red nose!

For a creepy cute clown, start with a white base, add exaggerated heart-shaped lips in bright red, and create dramatic eye makeup with vibrant colors.

Alternatively, channel Pennywise, the terrifying clown from Stephen King's "It". Use stark white face paint, add a red nose and mouth extending into a sinister smile, and don't forget those haunting yellow contacts for an extra scare factor.

Vampire makeup

Achieve that undead glamor with pale foundation, dark eye makeup, and blood-red lips. Add some fake blood dripping from the corners of your mouth for extra effect. Fangs are optional but recommended!

Euphoria-inspired makeup

Combine the bold, glittery looks from Euphoria with Y2K style for a trendy Halloween makeup. Think colorful, graphic eyeliner, lots of face gems, and glossy lips. This look is perfect for those who want to channel their inner teen drama queen.
