As far as Halloween costumes go, a cat will always rank highly for me. You can never go wrong with a classic, especially when you have a handful of amazing makeup looks you can turn to.

That’s why I wanted to put together this guide with 41 ideas, from creepy to cute. You’ll find elevated looks perfect for parties and more casual ensembles for trick-or-treating.

1. Simple Makeup Idea

Need a cute makeup look that’s also super simple? If that’s a yes, this one is for you. For this whole vibe, the eye makeup has that timeless eyeliner flick, and she’s got a black cat nose and whiskers.

I love how easy this is to recreate, and it’s honestly perfect if you need a costume at the last minute. Just add some cat ears and a black outfit, and your whole cat costume is officially complete.

2. Glitter Cat Makeup

If you want to bring some sparkle to your Halloween, a glittery look like this is a no-brainer. The artist used glitter on her eyes and whiskers, pulling together a glam feline design.

You could totally copy this look exactly, or try out some different eye makeup with glitter whiskers. A different color of glitter would be a fun twist, too!

3. Half Leopard Makeup

Up next, we have another one of those cool half-makeup styles. One side is all chic and elegant, while the other half is pure wild leopard print.

I’m obsessed with how the half-and-half makeup looks; it’s so cool and will definitely make a statement at any Halloween party you go to. Recreate this leopard look, or you could even try a different kind of cat print.

4. Glamorous Kitten

Next up is a glam, chic, and much simpler cat design for you to try out. All the classic features are there, like the nose and whiskers, but the eyebrows have been styled to look furry, just like a cat’s.

I think this is such a pretty idea, and it would be perfect for any Halloween party on your calendar.

5. Cat Halloween Makeup with Sparkle

This look also has some red lips, a black nose, and whiskers, and the whole thing is finished off with a touch of glitter and rhinestones. It’s a seriously stunning makeup idea and would be a total showstopper at a party.

6. Gory Leopard Makeup

First on our list is this half-feline design. One side of her face is totally normal, while the other has this glam leopard look.

I think makeup like this would be absolutely gorgeous for a party. You can recreate the leopard style or go for a different feline, like a classic Halloween black cat.

8. Cute Cat Makeup With Heart Nose

Our next makeup idea is just super cute. The artist created some feline eyes and whiskers, but then she added this pretty love-heart-shaped nose. How unique and adorable is that?

You can totally recreate this design, or maybe try a pink nose for an extra sweet cat look.

But what makes this cat makeup totally different is the leopard print that runs along her forehead. I’m obsessed with this design because the makeup is a perfect mix of a classic Halloween cat and a wild leopard.

13. Creative Kitty Makeup Idea

Next up, we have a really creative kitty idea. The artist didn’t go with the classic black nose, mouth, and whiskers. Instead, she opted for red lips, a brown nose, and eyes with some seriously amazing lashes.

All of these elements come together to create a unique and stylish cat design that will totally wow at any Halloween celebration.

14. Creative Cat Makeup

17. Cheshire Makeup

Looking for a makeup idea that’s a little more unique? Then you should consider trying a Cheshire makeup look! The Cheshire Cat is that mischievous feline from Alice in Wonderland.

This is such a cool version of the makeup because the artist used an illusion to create that wide grin the cat is so well known for. This look is definitely one of our favorites!

18. Kitty with Blue Lips

Another way to make your makeup look totally unique is by picking a cool lip color. Here’s a perfect example. This makeup has the classic cat eyes, nose, and whiskers. The lips are this beautiful shade of blue.

As you can see, the blue color is so stylish and different. This will definitely make your cat makeup stand out from all the others.
