How to Do Halloween Witch Makeup?

In some simple steps, you can now pull off an easy witch makeup look. Pale or green-toned skin, bold eyes, and outlined lips, let us whisper the rest of the Halloween witch makeup sorcery to you:

Step 1: Create Pale or Colourful Base

  • Start your Halloween witch makeup with a clean and hydrated face.
  • Apply face primer for a flawless, long-wearing performance. For the foundation, opt for one or two shade lighter foundation for an otherworldly, ethereal look.
  • Alternatively, you can even mix green, vibrant purple, or black eyeshadow with the foundation to create a colourful and desired base for this easy witch makeup look.

Step 2: Apply Contour for Drama

The next step in the witch makeup focuses on contouring. Use dark eyeshadow like black or deep purple to define your cheekbones, jawline, temples, forehead, and even nose. Sharp, higher-defined features provide a mystical touch yet a gaunt effect, illuminating your face further under the dim light of Halloween lights.

Step 3: Add Warts

For a classic witch makeup effect, create a realistic wart using special FX wax (don’t forget to paint it with black or brown eyeliner). You can also use black eyeliner to draw a black mole on your cheeks. You are now officially a part of the witch cult for the day!

Step 4: Create Emphatic Eyes

  • Base: Prep eyelids with a neutral concealer or eyeshadow primer.
  • Eyeshadow: Create a messy, smokey eye makeup using deep purples, blacks, or emerald greens. Apply lighter and darker eyeshadow shades from the same color family in the crease and eyelids, respectively. Blend well to avoid demarcations. Don’t forget to smudge the shades in the lower lash line. Add white eyeshadow in the inner corner for the spooky effect.
  • Eyeliner: Draw a dramatic winged eyeliner. For added flair, consider creating spiderweb patterns or other mystical symbols around the eyes.
  • Mascara/Falsies: Bold eyes are the centre of every witch makeup look. Hence, finish the look with volumizing mascara or opt for false lashes to intensify your gaze.

Step 5: Bold & Defined Lips

  • Start by drawing with a dark lip liner to prevent feathering or bleeding.
  • Select bold lipstick shades in dark red, plum, or black for this Halloween witch makeup. Apply a touch of lip gloss in the middle for depth.

Step 6: Set the Look

Finally, seal the witch makeup look with a gentle mist of makeup setting spray.

Step 7: Additional Details and Costume

Take your Halloween witch makeup look a notch higher with additional details and costume.

 

  • Add glitter, face gems, or subtle mystical markings for added magic.
  • Pair the witch makeup with flowing black robes, a pointed hat, and broom for the perfect picture.
  • Go for an open, sleek, and wavy hairstyle or a statement colored wig for added impact. These subtleties make the Halloween witch makeup a complete spellbinding look.

 

With a pale or green or colourful base, dramatic contouring, bold eyes, and lips, your Halloween witch makeup is done. This witch makeup idea is easy to create and works well to give you the hauntingly beautiful look that evokes the mystical essence of Halloween.
