It’s almost Halloween, and if you’re still “ghosting” on a costume, don’t worry – we’ve got some killer last-minute makeup looks to save the day (and night!). These ideas are perfect for when you’re low on time, supplies, or both but still want to rock that Halloween vibe with some serious glam.
Classic vampy glam
The vampy look is timeless, easy, and a go-to for a reason. Grab your darkest red lipstick and your blackest eyeliner to get started. Apply a bold lip, layer on some smoky eye shadow, and wing that eyeliner for a hauntingly chic effect. Finish with a bit of fake blood at the lip corners, and you’re officially undead.

Skeleton chic
No time for a costume? Go skeleton! Use black eyeliner to trace around your cheekbones, jawline, and temples, then add white face paint (or concealer if you’re improvising) to create depth. Extra points if you add a neon twist: grab a bright eye shadow, highlight those cheekbone hollows, and let your inner neon nightmare shine through!

Spooky scarecrow
Channel your inner scarecrow with a twist. All you need is some eyeliner to draw on stitches across the cheeks and mouth, then dab a bit of blush on the tip of your nose and cheeks. It’s charming, cute, and creepy, especially if you finish with a flannel shirt and floppy hat for full effect.
Scary the scarecrow is out and about! Really happy with how she turned out and excited to give out treats for Halloween! pic.twitter.com/LZ08fDd3CH

Comic book heroine
Pop art makeup is surprisingly easy! Use black eyeliner to outline your jaw, nose, and any other contours. Apply vibrant, single-toned lipstick, then dot white or light blue dots across your face for a comic book vibe. Add a few “teardrops” with white eyeliner, and you’re ready to look straight out of a comic strip!

Classic cat makeup
Sometimes, simple wins the night. For this look, focus on a sleek cat-eye and add a little black nose and whiskers. Toss on some cat ears, and you’ve got a purr-fect look that’s quick, easy, and photo-ready.
