Halloween brings out two types of people: the ones who dedicate time to create and present outrageous costumes, and the ones who throw on some cat whiskers and call it a day. Some people have their Halloween costume planned months in advance (including a Pinterest board of Halloween makeup ideas), but for others, a last-minute, no-fuss look is all they need to get in the spirit. This Halloween, why not let your makeup do the talking, and your costume can be as simple as you want.
Putting together both a costume and makeup takes more energy than you might think, which is why we’re fans of keeping things simple with easy Halloween makeup ideas. When you don’t have time to frantically shop for every component needed for your outfit, sticking with some simple Halloween makeup, like a quick skeleton look or a Disney-inspired makeup idea, is the way to go.
We’ve searched YouTube for simple Halloween makeup looks that are fairly easy to re-create, ranging from the classics, like deer, dolls, and giraffes, to trends, like your favorite TikTok videos and movie-inspired looks. Whether you’re more into cute Halloween makeup that’ll impress or a lover of all things horror and on the hunt for scary Halloween makeup ideas to blow everyone away, there’s something for you.
Get ready to impress everyone with these beginner Halloween makeup ideas. And best of all, they likely use products you already have on hand.
