Heidi Klum Says She 'Always' Did Her Own Makeup in the Early Years of Her Iconic Halloween Bashes

Klum has been hosting her famous spooky season soirées since 2000

Heidi Klum sure knows how to pull off any Halloween costume.

The supermodel, TV host, and mom, 50, has reigned as the Queen of Halloween since 2000, which is when she first brought her famous holiday party to the pop culture scene.

While her getups — including Shrek, a cadaver, the "Thriller" werewolf and Jessica Rabbit (just to name a few) — have reached next-level status in recent years, thanks to her team of special effects professionals and seasoned makeup artists, the America’s Got Talent Judge was, at one point, the creator of her own hair-raising disguises.

“For the first, I want to say, six or seven years of my Halloween parties, I always did my own hair and makeup,” Klum revealed on her Amazon Live Halloween Hotline livestream, during which she shared her spooky season essentials and answered fan-submitted questions about her annual bash.

She went on to clarify exactly which ”crazy” looks received the do-it-yourself treatment.

The shimmery gold face and body paint featured in her 2003 galactic alien costume was perfected by Klum as well as the uncannily reptilian snake-inspired face paint a part of her 2006 Adam and Eve forbidden apple costume, which she wore when she was nine months pregnant.

(While on the set of her PEOPLE StyleWatch 2023 cover shoot, Klum also revealed that she once did makeup on her ex-husband Seal who accompanied Klum on the red carpet dressed up as Eve that year.)

On Amazon Live, Klum said that she loves thinking outside of the box and encouraged viewers to do the same. "Use your imagination," she said. "I think that’s what makes Halloween so fun. Even though you buy an item or a costume online or whatever, you don’t want everyone to look the same."

Klum is so involved with her Halloween costumes that it’s no wonder she experiences “sleepless nights” while figuring out how to top her last. “I always try to find things that people naturally wouldn’t do,” Klum previously told PEOPLE. “Most people do nurses or police officers, but I was always looking for something that I hadn’t seen.”

As of last year, that included fisherman’s bait, which she seriously nailed in a head-to-toe costume made with a curved worm head and long tail. (Her husband Tom Kaulitz was the bloody-eye fisher.)
