Who said Halloween is only about the witches and not the wizards? Halloween is a great time to wear something unique and fancy, and men too need equally cool makeup ideas to complement their scary outfits. While deciding on the dress is a standalone challenge for men, searching for Halloween makeup ideas for guys can be more dreadful than the zombie you’re planning to be. In this journey, you might come across a lot of complicated stuff. But don’t worry about creating those looks as we have what you’re looking for - a detailed guide on Halloween makeup for men. Without any further ado, let’s get you started on creating some iconic male Halloween makeup looks, and kickstart the trick-or-treating spirit.
1. Male Vampire makeup
Step 1: Face Makeup
Create the famous male Vampire makeup look by applying your base makeup as usual. Add a dramatic definition to this Halloween makeup for men by using a contour stick on the hollows of your cheeks, nose and jawline. Blend it well so that your face makeup doesn’t look cakey.
Step 2: Eye Makeup
To create Vampire eye makeup, apply the black eyeshadow on your upper lid first and follow it with a red eyeshadow or creamy lipstick on your lower lid. Then, take a flat angled brush and create streaks of red tears running down from your eyes with red lipstick.
Step 3: Lip Makeup
For your lips, you can use a maroon lipstick and create streaks of blood running down from around your lips to add some dramatic effect to your male Vampire makeup look. If you wish to add more drama, fake some cuts or bruises on your neck with the lipstick and draw long teeth on the corner of your mouth with a pencil eyeliner. And don’t worry, you can create this men’s Halloween makeup with beard as well. So, gear up to terrorise your friends with your blood-thirsty vampire look.
2. Devil makeup
Step 1: Face Makeup
For achieving this male Halloween makeup look, keep the base as usual. Then, add colour to your face makeup with blush and enhance your natural radiance by using a highlighter on the bridge of your nose and cupid’s bow.
Step 2: Eye Makeup
To pull off the perfect evil devil, create a smokey eye look using kajal and follow it up by smudging red lipstick on your upper and lower eyelids. This will help you get the ideal blood red-eyes effect. Next, use waterproof mascara to add volume to your eyelashes. If you like bold eyebrows, this is the right time. Complete your Halloween makeup for men by shaping your brows with an eyebrow pencil.
Step 3: Lip Makeup
Make your Halloween look for men stand out by picking the deepest, darkest eyeshadow to fill in your lips and smudge it on the outside. Coat it with a lip balm to bring that shiny and glossy effect. If you wish to go a step ahead, you can paint your face red and accessorise your look with devil horns and more.
3. Ghost makeup
Step 1: Face Makeup
Begin your male Halloween makeup by prepping your face with the basics as you always do. While creating this ghost makeup, you will need a white base. You can use white paint and blend it all over your face.
Step 2: Eye Makeup
For a scary effect, create excessive fake dark circles around your eyes. Use the black eyeshadow on your lower lids and create streaks of black tears with an eyeliner.
Step 3: Lip Makeup
Give yourself the perfect finish by lining your lips with a bold kajal and apply the darkest brown lipstick that your partner, sister or friend owns. Use the same kajal to overdraw your lips and create a sealed lip effect. To look the best from the rest, sprinkle some powder on your hair.
Remember, to ace any of the male Halloween makeup ideas, you will have to ensure that your skin is prepped well. After completing the skincare routine, the first step of any Halloween makeup for men should be to use a primer to create a smooth base that keeps your makeup in place all day. Then, apply foundation to create an even complexion and banish the blemishes with a concealer. Confused which foundation shade to select for your base makeup?
