This Spider Princess Scary/Sexy Halloween Makeup

I never thought something spider-related could be this pretty, but clearly I was wrong. This scary and sexy Halloween makeup is somehow simultaneously creepy and gorgeous. To really get the scary level up there, grab a set of dense false lashes to make your eyes ultra spider-y.

Clown Makeup for Halloween

Half-face makeup is a great way to make your Halloween costume both sexy and scary. One half of your face can be a creepy clown, and on the other half you can be cute and colorful. This pic is a great example—and the rainbow eyeshadow and eyeliner on the left eye add such a fun touch.

Pop Art Halloween Makeup

Pop art makeup might look intimidating, but it’s actually super easy to create because there isn’t a ton of blending involved—the sharp color contrast is what makes it pop-art. What you’ll need is liquid eyeliner, a bright red lipstick, and a lot of yellow face paint.

This Snowman Makeup for Halloween

Who knew a snowman could be so spooky? The highlighter on the tip of the nose and the rosy cheeks create such a glowy effect. The challenge is getting the slits over the mouth—after applying a full white base (using white face paint), trace the outline in a black or grey eyeshadow using a fine makeup brush, then go over the lines again with black eyeliner before filling them in.

This Elf Halloween Makeup Idea

Elf makeup is the perfect way to keep some glam in your sexy Halloween makeup—it’s got highlighter, gold eyeshadow, and full lashes. Not feeling an elf for Halloween (which, fair)? Try fairy makeup instead, which is equally pretty and has a similar style.

Boogie Man Halloween Makeup

I’ll be the first to admit I’m easily spooked, but you can’t tell me this scary Halloween makeup isn’t terrifying AF. The scariest parts? The black eye sockets and the large black and green mouth. If you get those two things right (be sure to layer on black face paint to make it super opaque), you’ll be creepy enough to give people me nightmares.

This Sexy/Scary Edward Scissorhands Halloween Makeup

You would be amazed at how far a little red and grey eyeshadow around the eyes can get you when it comes to scary Halloween makeup. And once you have that down, contour your cheekbones with more grey and add a dark shade to the middle of both lips (so break out your winter lipsticks) for an extra “dead” look.

Harry Potter Themed Halloween Makeup

Hi, I’m a Potterhead through and through, and my Gryffindor heart cannot resist this Harry Potter Halloween makeup. The bold burgundy lip color is the perfect Harry Potter shade, and adds a little ~edge~ to your sexy Halloween makeup.

Sexy Body Makeup for Halloween

If you really want to bring out the sexier side of a Halloween costume, you can’t go wrong with colorful body art like the kind in this pic. I recommend stocking up on all the glitter eyeshadows your lil heart desires as well as a setting spray to make sure it stays put.

This Spa Day Halloween Makeup Idea

This spa day Halloween makeup is basically my whole personality, which means this will probs be my look on October 31. Getting the right shade of green for the “face mask” is key here, so if you don’t have mint-green face paint, you can easily mix some green and white together to get it.

This Queen of Hearts Makeup Idea for Halloween

This is a great sexy Halloween makeup idea because you can just channel your inner queen and wear a bright red lip with bold eyelashes. Going for the full Queen of Hearts look like this pic? Prime your face first then follow up with the white face paint. Also: Have both a blue powder eyeshadow and blue cream eyeshadow on hand to get the cut crease eyeshadow.

This Subtle Fairy Makeup Idea

The simplicity of this makeup look is exactly what makes this fairy a great sexy Halloween look. The glitter, highlighter (they used Benefit Cookie Highlighter), and the blue eye art is what brings out the fairy in this look, so get out all your shiny things before you get started. IMO, this is a great one if you’re looking for a last-minute Halloween idea.

This Devil Halloween Makeup Idea

Looking to get downright devious with your Halloween makeup this year? I highly recommend recreating this Devil makeup. The cute little flames and dark lip color are legit perfect for hitting that scary-but-sexy vibe. If you’re not feeling this look, try some of these pretty zombie makeup ideas instead.

Sexy/Scary Snake Makeup for Halloween

I literally never thought I’d say this, but this might be the first and only truly ~sexy~ snake I’ve ever seen. The thick winged eyeliner and green and gold gemstones really tie together the entire the look. And the gold hoop earrings and slicked down hair take it to an entirely new level.

Giraffe Makeup for Halloween

There’s really no better time then Halloween to bring out your inner animal. So—ahem—allow me to officially introduce you to the cutest freaking giraffe makeup idea. Use a matte brown eyeshadow for the giraffe spots and blend out the edges with a beauty blender or small fluffy brush to give it some depth.

This Sexy Spider Makeup for Halloween

Creepy and crawly have truly never looked better IMO. And TBH, I’m usually scared of spiders, but this sexy Halloween makeup idea is cute enough to not make me run for my life. For recreating the tight-knit spider web, a gel or liquid eyeliner is key.

Wednesday Scary Halloween Makeup

Wednesday Addams is a true Halloween icon. For this scary Halloween makeup, pick up a green eyeshadow and layer on some thick black eyeliner (think: Avril Lavigne circa 2007).

Scary Cheshire Cat Halloween Makeup

Transforming into the Cheshire Cat is all about recreating his distinctive, mischievous grin. To get this scary Halloween makeup look, I recommend using an opaque face paint palette to draw on all those sharp teeth.

This Seven Deadly Sins Costume

I love an interpretive Halloween idea, and this Pride costume (of the Seven Deadly Sins) is actually genius. Plus, you can easily glam it up with a silver lipstick (or taupe lipstick with some liquid highlighter on top), and gold eyeshadow.
