6 Black-and-White Halloween Makeup Looks That Are So Simple, It's Scary
Stray sticky jewels and dried-out vampire blood got you down? This Halloween, take a break from buying the products you'll use for one night, then relegate to the bottom of your beauty bag. Here, we've rounded up black-and-white Halloween makeup looks that you can recreate using products you probably already own. With a white cream base, black eyeliner — and red lipstick, if you're feeling extra sultry — you can create a ghoulish glow in minutes flat. Read on to see five scarily simple Halloween makeup looks. From a glam skeleton to a rockin' icon, these looks will make you the belle of any graveyard bash.
A Deathly Dancing Queen
Fancy a dance? Take a terrifying spin by channeling Natalie Portman's Black Swan character — and don't hold back on the drama. You can recreate this stage-ready look by painting your face with a ghostly, creamy base. Use black face paint or liner to create creepy wings around both eyes, using this image as inspiration. Top it all off with a shimmery red lip, and get ready for a perfectly choreographed evening of tricks and treats.
A Lash-Batting Skeleton
With black-and-white face paint and a few brushes, you can put a skeletal spin on your typical beauty look. Here, an intriguing skeleton has costume-y makeup covering the lower half of her face. The top half is left open for fluttery lashes and a swipe of gleaming highlighter, priming the look for a frighteningly good time.

A Fetching Feline
Take your typical cat-eye to the next level. Get your paws on some white face paint to create a base, then use liquid eyeliner to draw on whiskers, a nose, and an inky cat mouth. For extra credit, toss in a Y2K-inspired choker. It's the purr-fect dupe for a glam kitty collar.

Stanley Style
Wanna rock and roll all Halloween night? Channel Kiss' legendary frontman Paul Stanley with this rockstar regime. First, create a ghostly face base with white powder. Then, pile on the star appeal by drawing a giant one around one eye. (You can use tape if you want to keep the lines extra precise.) Slick your pout with a ruby-red lipstick, and voila. You're ready to rock.

A Winning Web
Spin a winsome web using white face paint or liner. Rim your eyes with cobweb lines, using the simple example here for creepy-crawly inspiration. You can attach a plastic spider to the bottom of the web to really give the look some, um, legs.
Family Values
Morbidity has never looked so chic. In 2018, Sophie Turner showed what a pale face and smoky eyes — mixed with a little maudlin rose-cutting — can do. To morph into Morticia Addams, the Game of Thrones actress applied a creamy white face base. She then went in for a dramatic smoky eye and statement brows, slicking her lips with a dangerous shade of red. Though she's parted with her Gomez since this photo was snapped, the classic appeal of Sophie's costume hasn't changed a bit.
