5 Scary Good Halloween Makeup Looks to Try in 2025
Look 1: Majestic Mermaid
Looking for easy Halloween makeup ideas with a touch of glamour? Dive into the mystical world of a shimmering mermaid! To create realistic scales, simply use a pair of fishnet tights as a stencil.
For makeup: Apply iridescent eyeshadow in shades of blue, green, and purple over the tights on your face, neck, and chest for a mesmerizing, otherworldly glow.
To make your eyes truly pop and complete this magical look, here are two options you can choose from at The Lash Lounge:
- Get a lash lift and tint a few days before the big night to create a wide-eyed, radiant look that pairs beautifully with shimmer and iridescent makeup.
- Get colored lash extensions in green, blue or a mix of both colors. Choose between Color Pop with a hint of color on the ends of your lashes OR go Full Color is you want to go all out with glam Halloween makeup.
Look 2: Crushing on Cupid
Craving a look that’s equal parts sweet and sassy? Go as Cupid! This is one of the best easy Halloween makeup ideas since you can play it up as much as you want.
For makeup: Go with a sultry red lip, artsy winged eyeliner, and a touch of sparkly pink eyeshadow to bring the look to life.
To make your eyes truly unforgettable, add some flair with pink colored lashes! Ask for a few pink or red lash extensions to match Cupid’s flirty vibe and give you the bold definition needed to make everyone fall in love with your look.
To complete your ensemble, add angel wings, a red or pink top, and heart-shaped accessories. By the end of the night, everyone will have heart eyes for YOU and your pictures will be true treasures!
Look 3: Classic Cat
When you’re searching for easy Halloween makeup ideas that are both classic and cute, you can’t go wrong with a classic cat! Just grab some cat ears to start.
For makeup: Use black eyeliner to draw on a nose and whiskers, and you’re good to go until the next step… LASHES!
Go all out with mega-volume lash extensions to create a full drama look. At your appointment, ask your stylist to incorporate a dramatic cat-eye effect during the application. Your lush, full lashes will accentuate your eyes and complete your costume without the worry of false lashes falling off by the end of the night. You’ll be the cat’s meow all night long with this purr-fect Halloween costume!
Look 4: Whimsical Witch
Searching for scary Halloween makeup looks that are both spooky and stylish? You can’t go wrong with a classic witch!
For makeup: Go with a dramatic smoky eye paired with a deep burgundy or black lipstick. Next up, the brows and lashes!
A truly bewitching look needs sharp, defined brows. We recommend scheduling a brow tint at The Lash Lounge a few days before Halloween to give your brows that perfect, bold hue. To match the intensity of a smoky eye, complete the transformation while you’re at the salon with classic or hybrid lash extensions. This will add the perfect amount of drama for a witchy good look!
Top off your Halloween ensemble with a pointed hat, a flowing black dress, and of course, a broomstick. This classic look is perfect for casting a spell on everyone you meet!
Look 5: Sultry Skeleton
No scary Halloween makeup look is complete without combining creepy with a touch of glam! To kill this look, a skeleton is the way to go and the best part: You likely have what you need already.
For makeup: Start with bold contouring using black eyeshadow to hollow out your cheekbones. Then, grab your black eyeliner to draw the signature skeletal mouth details. Play with white eyeliner, opt for silver eyeshadow, and add some sparkling gems along your cheekbones if a glam skeleton is more your vibe.
This look is all about bold contouring and dramatic lashes! For an extra touch of ghoulish glam, we recommend custom lash extensions from The Lash Lounge. Any application will do but we suggest hybrid to complete your look with striking impact.
