The countdown to Halloween is on, which can only mean one thing – it’s time to unearth your spooky alter ego and rock a gorgeously ghoulish makeup look. We’ve rounded up all the makeup tricks and treats you need for your most hair-raising Halloween look yet.
For a boo-tiful base
Any Halloween look starts with a good base. Whether you’re going gruesome or glam, a first-class blending sponge is an absolute must for laying down foundation or packing on paint. Our favourite look? A deathly pale base for a ghastly ghost or spook-tacular skeleton.
Try: Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
• No.1 makeup sponge*
• Infused with anti-microbial properties
• Vegan
• PETA-certified cruelty-free
A scare necessity if ever we saw one. Complete your whole Halloween base with this 3-in-1 blending sponge. Use the rounded side for blending large areas of your face, the pointed tip for precision concealing and the flat edge for creepy contouring.
For evil eyes
Halloween is the time to go extra with your eye makeup. Whatever look you’re creating – from zombie eyes to feline flicks – it all starts with a petrifying palette and has to be finished off with a killer set of lashes for ultimate impact.
Try: Revolution X Game of Thrones Mother of Dragons Forever Flawless Shadow Palette

Own the night with Eylure’s wispy layered lashes, here to add definition to any Halloween eye look. They’re crafted from luxury faux mink matte black fibres for a deep and intense, eye-opening finish. Now you’ve vamped up your Halloween look, all that’s left to do is bat your lashes all night long.
For life-sucking lips
What’s a Halloween look without a statement lip? Whether you go pale as a poltergeist or opt for a deep and dramatic hue, scare season is the time to go all out. We love a coppery orange for a pumpkin-inspired look. And nothing beats an overdrawn red lip for the creepiest clown makeup out there.
Try: 17. Créme Lip

From ghostly pale nude to vampiric purple red, there’s a Crème Lip shade for any Halloween look you desire. These easy glide-on lipsticks have a natural-to-shiny finish with amazing coverage to take your look to the next level.
