10 Halloween Makeup Ideas in 10 Minutes (or Less)Trying to figure out a costume? In a rush or at a loss? Don't stress! Here are some halloween makeup ideas you can use right away. These tutorials offer versatile, quick and (mostly) painless looks adaptable to a wide range of costumes. I've taken the liberty of cataloguing the makeup ingredients for each tutorial, so you know if you already have what's listed. You probably don't need the exact same product, but a close match will help you get the desired look. 10. Dead DollThe inimitable MissChievous gives us a guide to realistic––rather too realistic––corpse paint. Possible Costumes: Dead anything––dead housewife (use red lipstick instead of plum), dead doll, dead cheerleader, dead goth girl (use––what else?––black lipstick), insurance claims adjuster. Makeup Used:
9. Vampire/Gothic MakeupA beautiful, gothic look that's smokey and classical at the same time. If you're short on Halloween makeup ideas, this is a good place to start. Possible Costumes: Vampire, Gothic/1950s Pinup, 1940s Vamp/Vixen Makeup Used:
8. Barbie Girl"I'm a Barbie girl, in a Barbie wo-o-orld..." Michelle Phan gives us another wonderful tutorial, this one on how to get the fantastic plastic look. Possible Costumes: Barbie, Valley Girl, Alicia Silverstone in "Clueless," Cheerleader, Porn Star Makeup Used:
7. 1920s FlapperLike the movies from the era, this silent tutorial shows you how to get eyes so smokey they'll light a fire in any man's heart. Unfortunately the crimped hair is not exactly easy to do... This video may be 3:38, but it is time-lapsed. Keep that in mind. Possible Costumes: Flapper, Theda Bara, Kali (Goddess of Death) Makeup Used: Not sure, since the audio is off and there's nothing in the description. Here's what is shown:
6. Blue/Green EyeshadowJennisse Makeup makes a colorful, vibrant look with blue, black and green eyeshadow. Keep your other makeup to a minimum if you use this look––let your eyes be the focus! Possible Costumes: Mermaid, Fairy, Pixie, Not-So-Wicked Witch, Sea Goddess Makeup Used:
5. Perfect Red LipsThe effulgent xsparkage brings all of her cheer and personality into this entertaining tutorial on how to get the "perfect red lips." Check out her other tutorials for more Halloween makeup ideas. Possible Costumes: Third Wave Feminist, Kinderwhore, Dominatrix, Siren, Lydia Lunch Makeup Used:
4. Rainbow EyesAnother excellent, cheerful xsparkage tutorial, on how to get rainbow-colored eyes. Possible Costumes: Drag Queen, Fairy, Ziggy Stardust, Punk Rocker from Outer Space Makeup Used:
3. Edie Sedgwick EyesPixiwoo brings it home with this Edie Sedgwick-inspired tutorial. Beware––this type of look takes patience and practice! It is not for beginners, or the faint of heart! Possible Costumes: Edie (of course), 60s go-go dancer, Socialite Makeup Used:
2. Jayne Mansfield/Marilyn MonroeWow. If you don't believe in the transformative power of makeup, this tutorial will make you a believer. Pixi2woo transforms herself into a stunning, head-turning pin-up girl straight out of a 1950s movie. She also highlights the differences between Jayne's and Marilyn's makeup senses throughout the tutorial. Makeup Used: Although I love this tutorial, I sometimes find her accent difficult to understand, and she doesn't list all of the products she uses. This list is therefore incomplete.
1. Zombie MakeupJeff Porkins from the Zombie reporting center gives us a "freshly dead, not so decayed" zombie look that's easy and fun to do. Add in some appropriately chipper string music and Mr. Porkins's deadpan delivery, and this tutorial will put you in a good mood about looking dead. Possible Costumes: Zombie anything, Office Space employee Makeup Used:
