43 Bewitching Makeup Ideas for Your Halloween Costume

If you’re anything like me, you start planning your Halloween costume months in advance. A witch is always my go-to, and I’m a big believer that the makeup can make or break the whole look!

I’ve rounded up some of my absolute faves, from super spooky to totally glam, to give you some major inspiration for your OOTD (outfit of the dark!).

1. Half Glam, Half Witch Makeup

I am seriously obsessed with a good half-and-half look, and this one is just so good. One side is total glam that you could wear anywhere, while the other is full-on wicked witch green.

I love how the two sides are coordinated with the green eyeshadow complementing the witchy half. The cracked line detail is such a great touch, too.

This look is honestly pretty easy to pull off and it will look awesome at any Halloween party.

2. Classic Halloween Witch Makeup

This next idea takes its inspiration from the more traditional wicked witch. She’s got the green makeup and the long, witchy nose going on.

The whole thing is finished off with dark eyes and some seriously bright red lips. It’s such a fun and bright makeup look. You can find witch noses with warts online, and all you have to do is paint it green.

If you have more advanced skills, you can find tutorials for latex special effects noses, too.

3. Scary Ouija Board

If you’re all about the scary makeup ideas, then this one is for you. She has smudged black lip and eye makeup that gives it a super spooky feel.

The look gets even better with a crescent moon and an Ouija board design. This is so creepy and is honestly one of my favorite looks.

You could hand-paint the Ouija board or buy a stencil if you want a neater finish.

4. Magical Queen

You can look like a total Queen with makeup like this! Here we have a witchy idea that features some scary black eye makeup and lips that are a mix of nude and black.

The whole look is completed with a regal black crown. This is a simple and spooky look that I’m so into. You can copy it exactly or add some more detail; creepy contacts would look so cool, too.

Any dark and unique crown like this one would work perfectly.

5. Pretty Witch Makeup with Cauldrons
