Say goodbye to boring Halloween costumes! This year, it’s all about illusion makeup.
I’ve been seeing these trippy designs all over my feed, and I’m completely hooked. It’s incredible how artists can use makeup to create such weird and wonderful effects.
If you’re ready to get creative, look no further.
1. Vacuum Illusion Makeup

Looking for an idea that’s completely unexpected? Then this next design is so perfect. Here we have an illusion that makes it look like her face is being pulled into a vacuum.
It’s such a fun design that makes you think twice about your cleaning tools. What I love is that you can recreate this with any kind of glam makeup on the eyes and lips.
2. Trippy Face Illusion Makeup

If you really want to create some confusion with your makeup, then this idea might be exactly what you’re looking for. This design has three eyes, noses, and mouths, with black makeup framing the outside.
The black paint has totally transformed her face into a different shape, and I think it would look so amazing at a party in the dark. You could recreate something just like this or use makeup to create a whole new face shape.
3. Mask with Cracked Eye
The first illusion idea I have to show you is this incredible mask design. The artist has crafted the illusion that she is wearing a mask of her own face.
And not only that, but she has also added in some cracks and made it seem as though the eye has completely fallen off. A makeup look like this is so creepy and is just perfect for Halloween.
4. Sliced Face

Next up, we have a seriously creepy illusion makeup concept. This one features a sliced face. The artist used black makeup and other shades to create the illusion that her face has been cut into different pieces.
Makeup like this would trick everyone in a dark room, and you could even make it gory by adding some fake blood. This look is a home run for Halloween!
5. Seeing Double

No, your eyes aren’t playing tricks on you, it’s just a double vision illusion! This artist has created a whole second set of her facial features with makeup, so it seems like each one is on her face twice.
If you showed up to a Halloween party with makeup like this, it would freak everyone out. It’s a makeup look that is definitely going to be remembered.
6. Smiling Eyes

Next, I’ve got a very trippy makeup idea that places lips and teeth right over the eyes. As you can see, the artist has created the illusion that her eyes are actually smiling mouths.
The thing that makes this really freaky is that the mouth designs are a perfect match for her real mouth, so it really messes with your head when you look at it. I absolutely love this one!
7. Moving Face Makeup Illusion
My next illusion idea gives the appearance that the face is in motion. The artist has made many sets of her eyes, lips, and nose, which gives it a still frame effect.
It’s almost like you’re watching her jump or move in slow motion and you can see every single movement. I am obsessed with this trippy and one-of-a-kind design.
8. Trippy Two Faced Makeup

My next idea features an illusion that is sure to make everyone do a double-take. This makeup artist has come up with a half-face design. One half of her face looks normal, while the other side seems to be completely upside down!
The eyebrow has been drawn under the eye, with a mouth and nose painted on her head. This is such an awesome makeup idea, and you can recreate this with any design you like.
Try a pretty upside-down look like the one in the photo or go for something much scarier for Halloween.
9. Triple Vision
We’ve seen double vision, but how about we take it up a notch to triple? This design showcases three eyes, noses, and mouths.
It creates such a weird and wonderful effect that people will have to look more than once to figure out which of the features are real. You can recreate this makeup exactly or choose some darker makeup for a Halloween spin.
10. Facial Feature Illusion
Next up, I have another illusion idea that plays with facial features. For this look, the face has been turned into sections using black makeup. Inside every section is a facial feature; some of them are real and the others are not.
Makeup like this would be so trippy at night because the black makeup will blend in, which makes it look more realistic and confusing when people see your face.
