Wicked Witch
Are you tired of witch makeup always including green
skin and warts? Here are some dramatic
makeup ideas that would pair well with a witch costume, but you won’t have to
touch the green face paint! Spider webs
and fake eyelashes make for a surprising and dramatic take on traditional witch
makeup. If you want something even more
daring, try black cream eye shadow that looks like it’s dripping down your face
with black lipstick to complete the look.

Perfect Princess
If
you decided on a princess costume this year, gold and brown eye shadow make
this look appear rich and regal. Don’t
forget to add a metallic, deep red lip.
Now you look like royalty!
Masquerade
Mask
Adding a masquerade mask is always an easy way to make a
costume complete. This year, try a new
way of wearing a masquerade mask—a mask made completely out of makeup! This mysterious look can be done with a
stencil and airbrush makeup. Some black eyeliner
and gold eye shadow just around the tear ducts will make your eyes stand
out. This look used an ombre red lip to
play up the intrigue.

Vicious Vampire
Are
you obsessed with Vampire Diaries? If you decided to dress up as one of the
characters or any other vampire, here’s a picture you can reference. Reddish eye shadow, black eyeliner, and
drawn-on red veins under the eyes make you look just like you’re one of the
undead.

Cheshire Cat
Vampire Diaries
not your thing? How about Alice in Wonderland? This take on the Cheshire Cat is gorgeously
creepy with that famous Cheshire smile drawn on to make you like you have a
very large, toothy grin. Silver eyeliner
around the tear ducts, black eyeliner around the rest of the eye, and fake
eyelashes are also important parts of this look. The blue hair and blue eyebrows don’t have to
be permanent: try a blue wig with blue eye shadow over your eyebrows. Those specialty contacts take the look to the
next level!*

Darling Dolls
A
cracked porcelain doll is another costume idea you could try. Drawing fake cracks on your face, along with
some white face powder is one way to do this look. You could also use fake eyelashes: apply the bottom lashes a little lower than
your natural lash line and fill in the remaining space with white eyeliner.
This will make your eyes look bigger!
Note: Make sure if you consider specialty contacts
to only use contacts recommended by an optometrist, as some specialty contacts
can damage your eyes.
