1. “Deer Shot in Headlights”

A common makeup look that has been floating around social media was the “injured deer” look. YouTube gurus painted their faces using glamour and costume cosmetics to portray deer-like features. The twist to this Bambi inspired look is the faux gunshot wounds many are creating with costume cosmetics to portray a deer that has been shot. This look will bring cute and horror vibes to the Halloween function.

2. “Glamorous Pennywise”

Ever since the Stephen King film “IT” became a blockbuster this year, it has served the purpose of perfect meme material. In addition to that, beauty gurus have found inspiration in glamorizing the scary clown. To portray the clown’s distinctive face drawings, beauty mavens have used things such as glitter and white eyeshadow. They’ve even replaced the dominant red color with pink. The Pennywise look can be achieved with a simple eyeshadow palette with primary colors or loose glitter pigment and adhesive.

3. “Bride of Chucky”

A fairly simple and unique look that many have achieved is Chucky’s dark bride. Tiffany was infamous for her thin eyebrows, black lipstick, and blonde hair. To achieve her thin eyebrows, conceal about half of yours. You can either purchase a black lipstick from your nearest drug store or use a black matte eyeshadow. Grab a blonde wig from your nearest hair store and make your way to the nearest costume party.

4. “Bratz Doll Brought to Life”

Just because you don’t play with dolls anymore doesn’t mean you can’t dress like one. Many people played in their makeup collection and brought out their most glamorous clothing to portray their favorite Bratz doll. Simply exaggerating your facial features and applying your eyeshadow as close to your brow bone as possible helps to achieve that desired Bratz look. Pair that with your most flashy clothing items and no one will be able to tell the difference.

5. “The Joker”

Hit the Halloween scene with a classic Batman rival-inspired look. The joker is known for green hair, a carved smile, and a black ring around the eyes. Using eyeshadow and lipstick, you can achieve the black ring with eyeshadow and draw your carved smile as far as you’d like with your favorite lip product. For the green hair, you could either grab a colorful wig or some temporary spray hair dye.
