Tutorials For 11 Halloween Looks You Can Create With Regular Makeup

Ditch the pasty Halloween makeup and achieve these looks with products you'll actually use again.

Even if you love Halloween, it can be all too easy to leave choosing a costume until the very last minute. It’s difficult to know exactly how dressed up to be, too, depending on where you’ll be wearing the outfit. No one wants to show up to the office and be the only one in a costume or to pull a Cady Herron at a friend’s Halloween party. Not to mention, elaborate outfits and accessories can be expensive. That’s why having some quick and easy Halloween makeup ideas in your back pocket can come in handy. And if the looks require only the makeup that you probably already own? That’s even better.

Whether a scary clown, Morticia Addams or a “Euphoria” costume is more your style, you’ll be surprised at how easy it can be to create a look from only a handful of makeup items that are likely sitting on your bathroom counter. Plus, unlike a head-to-toe Pennywise or sexy pirate costume, all of the makeup items featured here to create Halloween looks can be used again. Sure, you might use a palette and some eyeliner to create a spooky spider web look, but you can also use them to pull off the perfect smoky eye for a future date night. In other words, creating a Halloween costume with everyday makeup means that you’re not wasting money on something you’ll likely never wear or use again.
