It’s the middle of October and that can only mean one thing: Halloween is just around the corner. The countdown has started and there are only a few days left to live and enjoy the Halloween night.
Although the pandemic has taken away the massive Halloween parties, our desire to celebrate this unique night remains intact. If you don’t have a costume for this year but want to do something special on October 31st, a simple yet terrifying make-up may serve to commemorate Halloween – even if it is with few people, among friends or family. And the thing is that make-up can do real crazy things…
If you have trouble finding ideas or are tired of resorting to the classic Morticia Adams look, here are 13 make-up influencers that we have selected to get you inspired for Halloween 2021.
@kimberleymargarita_
To succeed at a Halloween party, one of the important things is to get people to recognize the character you are disguising. That is why make-up artist Kimberley Margarita opts for popular movie characters like Joker – the sworn enemy of Batman – to inspire her followers.
@marioncameleon
How about dressing up as the bloody version of Little Red Riding Hood? As in every year, Marion Cameleon runs a special marathon for Halloween 2021 on her Instagram account and unveils a new make-up look for every day of October. Visit her profile and catch up with her before Halloween night arrives.
@nikkietutorials
A classic that never fails. The skeleton disguise is within the reach of all since it does not require a great mastery of the brush. With black shadows and eyeliner, draw shadows to create a skull on your face. Don’t forget the neck!
@sophiehannah
Getting the perfect Halloween make-up is easier said than done. Granted, this one won’t be the easiest to recreate. If you have confidence in your make-up skills and enough patience, try out Sophia Hanna’s devil look for the spookiest night of the year.
@typical_white_girl_sfx
Make sure you have a movie night to see Tim Burton’s Corpse Bride before you give this look a try.
@abbyroberts
Among the scariest villains in cinema there is certainly Freddy Krueger, the serial killer who terrorized thousands of people in the Nightmare saga. The perfect character to scare anyone on the night of October 31st.

Dolls can be as cute as they are creepy – and for Halloween, we obviously opt for the second option. Enlarge your eyes with a white pencil, draw long lashes and a pink mouth with a frozen smile. All you have to do is braid your hair and put on a lace dress stained with blood before you go out scaring the whole neighborhood.
@ericaswn
Is it possible to get the perfect look for the night of October 31st without using tons of products? Of course, yes – Latvian make-up artist @ericaswn is here to inspire! It takes very little to transform you into the bride of the scariest doll in cinema: Chucky.
@lissypink10
The star of Stephen King’s novel has not finished giving us a cold sweat. To get as far away as possible from the sympathetic clown with the red nose, don’t hesitate to make use of scars, traces of blood or frightening lenses… All means are good to turn into a real walking nightmare.
@fancyflutie
What could be better than bringing out your feline side for Halloween? A master at bodypainting and special effects make-up, Katie Cole began doing make-up as a mere hobby, painting children’s faces at children’s parties back in 2014. A lot of practice and curiosity led her to perfect her art become an artist capable of creating illusions and the most elaborate looks. Like Marion Cameleon, Katie is not short on inspiration and has been trying a new look for Halloween every day since the beginning of this October.
@promisetamang
Halloween is undoubtedly an opportunity to honor our favorite villains. Inspired by Disney’s Maleficent, Promise Tamang takes the iconic villain and revisits it in a glamorous make-up.
@itslikelymakeup
Despite his cold and terrifying appearance, Edward Scissorhands hid a warm and loving heart. Although he is not an evil character, his look is perfect to be worn at Halloween.
@karolinagriciute
Karolina Griciute is an expert at using objects in make-up – be it a pair of scissors sticking out of her head, a pencil that appears to have been stuck through her cheek, or, like this one, a can of beer stuck in her eye.
