24 Awesome Makeup Looks To Try This Halloween

Entertainment

Everyone knows that Halloween is a time of dressing up. It’s the one day out of the whole year where it is socially acceptable to transform yourself into anyone or anything you want to be. Although many people look at it as an opportunity to physically dress up, makeup enthusiasts see the holiday as an opportunity to get creative with their face.

If you’re looking to focus more on your Halloween makeup this year than your actual outfit, look no further! The looks we have below are so good, you can probably pair them with an outfit that’s already in your closet.

#1. Barbie Doll

Transform yourself into a plastic doll with this look. It’s fairly easy, it just requires a cut crease and some pink makeup. Pair the makeup with a blonde wig to complete the look!
