Halloween Makeup Tutorials

Halloween is so important in college, but with such a busy schedule, there’s sometimes very little time to pick a costume and a makeup look! Well, we’ve got you covered!. Here are three go-to Halloween looks for this year!

The Universal Look

This look is great for any costume from sexy school girl to cop. You’ll look flawless and glamorous, and will surely receive tons of compliments.

Step One: Do your normal foundation routine.

Step Two: Apply a medium, cool-toned brown to your crease as a transition color.

Step Three: Apply a deep brown to the outer half of your crease and blend.

Step Four: Repeat until you achieve your desired look.

Step Five: Apply a gold eyeshadow to your eyelid using either your ring finger or a flat shader brush.

Step Six: Apply a skin-tone color to your brow bone.

Step Seven: Apply the deep brown shadow you put in your crease to your lower lashline using a smudger brush.

Step Eight: Apply your eyeliner in the style of your choice. (I choose to go for a winged look).

Step Nine: Line your waterline and your tightline with an eyeliner of your choice.

Step Ten: Apply contour, blush, and highlight.

Step Eleven: Apply a nude gloss to your lip.

It’s really that simple! You’ll be ready to take on the night in no time!

Not-Your Average Cat

Every girl’s go-to Halloween look for when they have no ideas or time is a cat costume. You don’t have to look like every other cat at the party. Follow these simple steps to stand out in a crowd.

Step One: Do not apply foundation yet.

Step Two: Take a matte medium-grey eyeshadow and apply it to your crease as a transition color.

Step Two: With a black eyeshadow, add definition to the crease.

Step Three: Blend.

Step Four: Repeat until you have achieved your desired look.

Step Five: Take a makeup wipe and sharpen the edge of your eye look.

Step Six: With a concealer, carve out the lid of your eye and create a small wing.

Step Seven: Apply gold glitter over the concealer to create a cut crease.

Step Eight: Take a makeup wipe and sharpen the look again.

Step Nine: With the eyeliner of your choice, create a dramatic wing.

Step Ten: Elongate the wing past your inner corner to give the “cat eye” effect.

Step Eleven: Line your lower lashline, connecting the line to the outer corner of your eye, and elongating the inner corner to connect with the extended upper lashline.

Step Twelve: Apply your foundation and powder, then contour and highlight until your cheeks can cut glass.

Step Thirteen: With an eyeliner of your choice, create a nose by tracing the front of your nose and coloring it in. Draw an upside-down triangle in your cupid’s bow to finish off the nose.

Step Fourteen: With the same eyeliner, line and fill in your upper lip.

Step Fifteen: Using the same eyeliner, draw on some whiskers.

Step Sixteen: Take your concealer and fill in your lower lip.

That’s all there is too it! Now throw on some kitty ears and go out on the prowl.

Harley Quinn

Suicide Squad was the most anticipated movie of the summer, so it’s no question that we’ll be seeing flocks of Harley Quinn’s this Halloween. Make sure you stand out from the crowd with this glittery Harley makeup look.

Step One: Apply your foundation, powder, and eyebrows as usual.

Step Two (Optional): Apply highlight, contour, and blush.

Step Three: You will be applying pink to your right eye, and blue to your left eye. Take the corresponding color on your ring finger and messily apply it to your eyelid. Make sure that you drag the color past your lid and down a bit. This look is supposed to be very messy.

Step Four: Take your finger and apply glitter of the corresponding color to the runny part of each eye.

Step Five: with a dull eyeliner pencil, draw a line of medium thickness above your upper lashes. You can smudge this with a finger if you’d like.

Step Six: On the right side of your face, draw a small black heart (Harley also has a “ROTTEN” tattoo on the right side of her face, but I chose to exclude it from this look).

Step Seven: Apply red lipstick to your lips and feather it out with your fingers.

All that’s left to do is put your hair in pigtails, and you’re ready to go out, Puddin’.
