Halloween brings out two types of people: the ones who dedicate time to create and present outrageous costumes, and the ones who throw on some cat ears and call it a day. Some people have their Halloween costume and makeup planned months in advance, but for others, a last-minute, no-fuss costume is all they need to get in the spirit. Putting together both a costume and makeup takes more energy than you might think, which is why we’re fans of keeping things simple with easy Halloween makeup ideas. When you don’t have time to frantically shop for every component needed for your outfit, sticking with easy makeup for Halloween, like a quick skeleton makeup look or Disney-inspired makeup idea, is the way to go.
We’ve searched YouTube for simple halloween makeup tutorials that are fairly easy to re-create, ranging from the classics, like skulls, dolls, and animals, to trends, like your favorite TikTok videos and “Stranger Things“-inspired looks. You can turn yourself into your favorite horror character or add some whiskers to those cat ears. Get ready to impress everyone with these quick and easy makeup ideas using products you probably already have.
