Halloween 2025 is all about being creative, bold and turning your face into something unforgettable. From classic spooky styles to fun new twists, the right makeup—and a pair of colored contacts—can take your costume from simple to stunning.
Skeleton Makeup
Skeleton looks are always popular, but this year they come with new upgrades. You can go scary with glow-in-the-dark paint that makes your bones shine in the dark, or metallic silver designs that look futuristic under party lights. For a softer spin, a candy-inspired “sweetheart” skeleton mixes pastel colors with dark details for a playful balance of cute and creepy.
Best paired with white, gray or pink lenses. White and gray give a hollow, ghostly effect, while pink adds a playful candy-inspired twist.
Spider Makeup
Spider makeup is perfect if you want something spooky but stylish. Draw thin spider legs around your eyes with eyeliner, or go bolder with thick black lashes shaped like spider legs. Adding gems or glitter along the lines makes the look shine under lights and adds an artistic touch. This style works especially well if you love dramatic eye-focused makeup.
Best paired with black, gray or violet lenses. Black and gray create a dark, web-like mystery, while violet adds a hint of gothic glam.
Ghostly Glam
The ghost look is all about pale, cold beauty. Start with a white or gray-toned base, then layer smoky shadows around the eyes and sharp, dark eyeliner for definition. The contrast makes your eyes look deep and haunting while keeping the style chic, like a ghost stepping out of a fashion magazine. Adding shimmer on the cheekbones or lips can give the look an otherworldly glow.
Best paired with gray, blue or brown lenses. Gray and blue make the eyes look cold and haunting, while brown keeps the ghostly style softer and more wearable.
Graphic Makeup
Graphic makeup is modern and artistic, perfect for those who don’t want the usual scary look. Play with bold lines that cut across the face, neon-colored shapes around the eyes, or even abstract designs like lightning bolts and zigzags. It’s less horror, more fashion statement—like bringing runway art to a Halloween party. Pairing it with metallic accessories or glowing face paint makes the effect even stronger.
Best paired with green, pink or hazel lenses. Green and pink match neon and digital vibes, while hazel balances the look with a warm contrast.
Corpse Bride Makeup
The corpse bride is a mix of beauty and horror. Think pale skin with veins painted under the eyes, lips smudged to look faded, and fake blood stains on a torn veil or dress. Black or gray shadow under the eyes makes them look sunken, while smudged mascara adds to the “crying undead” effect. The style is scary but still elegant, like a tragic character from a gothic movie.
Best paired with gray, blue or brown lenses. Gray and blue create that lifeless, undead stare, while brown adds a subtle, tragic softness.
Pink Leopard Makeup
Animal print makeup is already bold, but turning it pink makes it both cute and edgy. Paint leopard spots with pink and black around the temples or eyes, and mix it with glitter or rhinestones for a festival-inspired finish. This look is less about horror and more about standing out with fun, playful energy. It’s great for anyone who wants Halloween glam without being too scary.
Best paired with pink, violet or brown lenses. Pink enhances the playful theme, violet makes the look more dramatic, while brown adds balance for a chic finish.
Winx Fairy Makeup
Inspired by the Winx fairies, this makeup is dreamy and full of light. Use pastel shadows like lavender, aqua or pink, then add glitter on the eyelids and under the eyes for a magical sparkle. Drawing soft wing shapes around the eyes with shimmer or eyeliner makes the fairy vibe even stronger. It’s enchanting, feminine and perfect for anyone who wants to feel like they’ve stepped out of a fantasy story.
Best paired with aqua, pink or violet lenses. Aqua brings an ethereal fairy sparkle, pink keeps the look soft and sweet, while violet adds a touch of mystery.
