Get ready to look fang-tastic this holiday with these spooky Halloween makeup essentials.
As we get ready to chant, “Double, double toil and trouble; fire burn and cauldron bubble,” we can’t forget to look the part this ghoulish season. The first step is nailing down the look. While your costumes hang in your closet, it’s time to stock up on cosmetics. Check out the spooky Halloween makeup essentials every ghoul needs!
Every Halloween makeup kit needs black and white body paint. Whether you want to be a ghost, skeleton, or clown, you must have these two body paint colors. If you want to cover your entire face or parts of your body, we'd recommend stocking up on three or four tubes. If you want body paint that is long-lasting and blends smoothly with other makeup, check out theatre makeup brands like Ben Nye.
Create a horrifyingly amazing look this Halloween with fake blood! Every Halloween cosmetic set needs at least one tube of fake blood. Luckily, you don’t have to search far for it. Every Halloween store or supermarket will have a section dedicated solely to costumes and makeup. Online stores like Amazon will have options, as well!
How often do you get to throw on special body effects? From extra body parts to deformities and injuries, October is the perfect month to get creative and go all out. But where do you find these extra features? The best places to find any special effect makeup items are stage makeup companies, Halloween shops, or online.
Glitter and Halloween go hand-in-hand. It’s the one holiday (or month) where the more glitter, the better. Adding a splash of glitter to any Halloween makeup look will add that extra sparkle to stand out in the crowd. Plus, glitter also works on hair, costumes, and other parts of your body.
While cruising down the Halloween aisle, you may notice a color cream makeup or body paint kit. Slide one of those bad boys into your cart and head to the checkout. One of these sets can help you create a variety of looks without breaking the bank. We suggest having multiple sponges and brushes, so you don’t mix the colors.
Some makeup designs are more difficult to free-hand. If you want fun styles or designs on your body, but don’t have a steady hand, you need to add stencils and body stickers to your Halloween makeup bag. You can find stencils and stickers of shapes, stitches, symbols, and more.
The moment October hits, black lipstick, lip liner, and eyeliner become harder and harder to find. Instead of searching high and low at every beauty store, stock up on these items as soon as possible. If you want high-quality, long-lasting products, we suggest checking name-brand stores like Jeffree Star, Anastasia Beverly Hills, and more.
