Subtle make-up for Halloween – simple & stylish ideas
All you need are the right tools and a steady hand to create incredible yet subtle Halloween makeup ideas like these at home.
Fruit-inspired makeup – ripe banana
With makeup, you can transform yourself into anything - even inanimate objects like fruit. Grab some yellow eyeshadow and brown eyeliner and you've got this easy Halloween makeup look.
Look at the pixels
How clever and cool is this pixelated look? There are a few key points to create it: Use cream eyeshadow or pigments, whatever you have on hand to create this mesmerizing checkerboard effect. A stencil can also be useful for making the squares super precise. Then do the same with different shades of red lipstick or liner on one side of your lips.
Subtle make-up for Halloween – 3D spider
Across Instagram, makeup artists have been painting frighteningly realistic spiders on their faces using clever eyeshadow techniques. You can make a spider look like it's coming out of your eye or even your lips. Trust us: If you have black lipstick, kohl or eyeshadow in your collection - along with some glitter and highlighter, then you definitely can't miss this feat. Just make sure you pay special attention to the shadows, because they're key to making this look as realistic (and unsettling) as possible.
Twiggy – the decadent goddess of the 60s
All you really need to look like a decadent '60s goddess is your black liquid eyeliner. Big eyes, full hair and bright colors were all the rage in the 1960s and Twiggy is still an inspiration with her iconic make-up style.
To enhance this look, use a black gel eyeliner to draw a downward eyeliner that will make the eyes appear larger and rounder. For an even more radiant effect, line your waterline with a white or nude eye pencil.

Vecna aus “Stranger Things”
It took over seven hours to transform Jamie Campbell Bower into Vecna for Stranger Things. But don't worry, you don't need that much time at all to make subtle Halloween makeup like this at home. All you need is purple-red eyeshadow to bring this look to life, adding lines along your face and neck to recreate the villain's creepy, upturned skin.
Katniss Everdeen from "Hunger Games"
It may have been eight years since the last Hunger Games film was released in theaters, but Katniss Everdeen will forever be a major inspiration for Halloween. Here the bridal look of the heroine from “Catching Fire” is recreated with silver and black eyeshadow. As a finishing touch, use rhinestones on your under eyes.
Subtle make-up for Halloween – clown-tastic
This clown look is far from IT, but it's exactly the kind of easy, effortless look you should go for this Halloween. Start with a clean foundation and then fill in your brows with colored eye pencils. Then apply black liquid eyeliner and draw triangles and circles under your eyes and above your brows.
Use the same liquid eyeliner to line the lips and elongate the corners of the mouth, then apply a raspberry or purple lipstick. Use a lip brush to blend the lines between the lipstick and the liner. Complete the look with electric blue winged eyeliner.
Create devilish makeup
Opt for a graphic liner for a devilish makeup look. This is a great choice if you're going for a Halloween look that requires little effort but still looks cute.
Subtle make-up for Halloween – heavenly angel
Unleash your inner goddess with this perfectly low-maintenance look for Halloween that also includes glitter tears. First, apply foundation and beautiful rose gold makeup. When you're finished, use a small eyeliner brush and gold eyeshadow to outline the shape of the tears flowing from the tear ducts onto your cheek. To apply the glitter, gently mist your brush with a glitter spray. Then dip it in eye-safe glitter and let the tears flow.
