1. GORY & SCARY HALLOWEEN MAKEUP


The first scary Halloween makeup idea we have to show you, is this gory masquerade mask. This is a very unique and horrifying makeup idea that will look amazing at a party. For the blood and gore Ben Nye Makeup Nose & Scar Wax, Liquid Latex, Scab Blood & Stage Blood was used.


 You can check out the YouTube tutorial by Karolina Griciute here:


2. SCARY CLOWN MAKEUP

Clowns are a Halloween classic and our next idea features a scary circus clown. The artist has used the fun and bright colors that clowns use with the addition of fake blood and contact lenses which gives her a sinister look. You can recreate similar clown makeup or choose your own colors.
 Luckily, we have a YouTube tutorial for this look also! It’s created by the talented Giulianna Maria.

3. DEVILISH DEMON AND SKELETON MAKEUP

Next, we have a unique Halloween makeup idea that combines two scary creatures together. This makeup features a skeleton and demon design. The look was created with Ben Nye Makeup Water Activated Paints with Urban Decay Total Spectrum Palette for the eye makeup. The horns were created by the artist. You can create both looks or just the red one for a devilish Halloween costume.

 4. MUMMY MAKEUP IDEA

Our next idea is another Halloween classic. Here we have a mummy makeup idea. The artist has wrapped most of her face in bandages, leaving the eyes and mouth free. She has created stunning Ancient Egyptian style makeup with gold eyeshadow and black eyeliner. What makes this look really scary is the white contacts. We love this mummy idea!

 5. SCARY VOODOO DOLL MAKEUP

Looking for a unique Halloween idea? Then this next pick is for you. Here we have a Voodoo doll inspired makeup. Voodoo dolls are small dolls that can be used for good and bad. This makeup features the classic stitches and heart. You can take inspiration from this or make it scarier by adding contact lenses and darker makeup.
 Video tutorial for the look is here:

6. SCARY WITCH HALLOWEEN MAKEUP IDEA

Next, we have an idea inspired by a doll the artist had seen called Hecate. Hecate is the Goddess of witchcraft, ghosts and more. The look features white eyes with blood around the nose, eyes and head. This is a very scary look that will frighten the whole Halloween party. To create the blood and wounds Mehron Makeup Paradise paints, coagulated blood, drip blood, nose and scar putty was used.

 7. ILLUSION PUMPKIN MAKEUP

We love illusion makeup because it can completely transform the face. Here is an amazing example of illusion pumpkin makeup. Black makeup has been used to create the classic carved pumpkin look. The artist has also used the black and orange on the eyes too. There are lots of tutorials online to help you achieve a similar look to this one.

 8. TERRIFYING HORNED DEMON MAKEUP





Our next idea is perfect for whoever is looking to horrify at Halloween. The artist has created a look that features white eyes, blood, an upside down cross, horns and more. It looks like a nightmare straight out of movies. You can recreate this makeup or try a simpler version.

 9. CREEPY CLOWN MAKEUP

Next, we have another clown idea. This one uses darker makeup and white contacts to create a terrifying look. We love this idea because you can recreate a similar look from the image. It is scary and perfect for Halloween but not too difficult to create at home. You can use any colors for your clown.
 To recreate the look, just follow the easy steps from Gaby’s YouTube tutorial.

10. SCARY DEVIL HALLOWEEN MAKEUP

You can use your hair to add to the scariness of your makeup. Here we have a devilish makeup idea that features dark eyes, an upside down cross and fake blood near the mouth. The hair has been styled into two red horns. You can see that the hair has become part of the makeup and overall look. This would be perfect for a party.

 11. SLASH HALLOWEEN MAKEUP IDEA

Next, we have a scary Halloween makeup idea that features slash wounds. The face has slashes and there is one on the top of the wrist too. Not only that but one side of the face is more bruised and has a white contact. This half and half style makeup is grisly and you can recreate it in a couple of ways. Maybe wear two contact lenses for a ghostly look or add fake blood for a more gory look. Either way, you will have ghastly Halloween makeup.

 12. FACE MASK

Wearing someone else’s face is the stuff of nightmares thanks to movies like Face/Off and the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, which makes it perfect for Halloween! Here we have a creative makeup idea where the artist has created an outline around the face to suggest it is a mask. You can create something that combines scary and glam like featured or you can add blood for a horrifying look.

 13. GORY DEMON MAKEUP

Our next idea is a gory demon look. The artist has created bloody horns and a pentagram on the chest. She has also used dark makeup with fake blood on her hands. This is terrifying makeup that may make everyone afraid of you at a party but it is a scary Halloween look that will be remembered.

 14. SPIDER MAKEUP





Spiders are scary! So, why not create Halloween makeup inspired by them? Here we have a makeup idea that features multiple black eyes and fangs. You can recreate this for Halloween or even add some fake cobwebs to your hair to complete the look. As for an outfit, you can go all out and make an eight legged creation or wear a black outfit.

 15. SCARY PUMPKIN MAKEUP

Next, we have another pumpkin makeup idea to show you that is very creepy. The artist has created illusion makeup with black and other tones to make the pattern actually looked carved onto her. This would be so scary at night or at a party. We love this!

 16. SCARY HALLOWEEN CLOWN

If you have liked the clown ideas featured earlier then you may like this one too! This clown idea uses black, white and silver to create a ghostly clown look. The contacts and color palette used looks amazing and will scare everyone! You can recreate makeup like this at home with practice.

 17. BLAIR WITCH VOODOO DOLL

Our next idea is a unique take on The Blair Witch Project. If you have seen the movies you may know that some of the iconic wooden dolls are actually Voodoo dolls. This artist has created a Voodoo doll look inspired by this. It features the classic stitches with the addition of the Blair Witch doll symbol on her head. This is perfect for anyone who loves horror movies.


 18. GRUESOME HALLOWEEN MAKEUP

Next, we have a gruesome makeup idea to share with you. The makeup features a ripped mouth. This is gory and scary which is perfect for Halloween. The look was created with Mehron Makeup Liquid Latex, Mask/Creamblend Palette, Pro Coloring Bruise Palette, Coagulated Blood and Stage Blood. The tutorial is available on the featured artists page.

 19. BROKEN DOLL MAKEUP





Cracked face makeup is great to learn as it can create a scary look. You can use this technique for dolls, ghosts and more. Here we have an example of a broken doll makeup. It just gives the already creepy doll makeup an extra spine-chilling look for Halloween.

 20. SCARY RED RIDING HOOD MAKEUP

Our next idea is a scarier take on Little Red Riding Hood. As you can see she has been clawed by the wolf. We know this is not as terrifying as some of the others but think it could be. You can take inspiration from this and create a super scary, gory Little Red Riding Hood look. Add more blood, maybe flesh like featured on our first idea, bruising, and you will have one horrifying Halloween costume.

 21. DEMON MAKEUP IDEA

Next, we have another scary Halloween demon idea. This one features black horns, white contacts and illusion makeup. This looks amazing and if not done by a professional will take practice, but it will be worth it. You can take inspiration from this and add blood or maybe try using different colors.
 Check out Desi’s YouTube tutorial for this amazing Demon makeup look!

22. SCARY SUGAR SKULL MAKEUP

We couldn’t have a Halloween list without mentioning sugar skulls. Here we have a sugar skull makeup idea that is quite scary but could be made more so. Use this look as inspiration and use creepy contacts and lighter tones for the skin. Also make the face look more skeletal with shading.  This idea has the potential to be spine-chilling!

 23. SCARY STITCHES MAKEUP

Last on our list of scary Halloween makeup is this creepy stitch design. You can use makeup like this for Voodoo dolls, zombies and dolls. There are tutorials available online to help you with stitches like these. To make the look gory you can even add blood around the stitches.


We hope you have found some scary Halloween makeup ideas!
