How to make Holloween Eye Makeup? | Step by Step process for Holloween Eye

Many costume looks incorporate Halloween eye makeup from a variety of scary skeletons to stylish vampires as this art form has undergone several changes over time becoming an avenue where people can express their creative abilities.

Halloween eye makeup originated from ancient Celtic traditions associated with Samhain festival and marking both end of harvest time & start of cold season. In those days- during Samhain- folks used to dress up in weird attires including masks so they do not resemble spirits haunting them.

In the history of Halloween cosmetics, one figure that stands out is the celebrated make-up artist Jack Pierce who is recognized for his iconic work on Universal Studio’s classic monster movies, for example, “Frankenstein” and “Dracula”. By coming up with unique and complex facial design ideas, Pierce made these famous characters more realistic thereby defining a trend in Halloween face painting that has been passed down through many years.

You need to first clean your eyelids to remove any oil or makeup off. Afterward, you should add some eyeshadow primer that is light in weight on them so as to prevent your eyeliner from getting into lines and to give your makeup a longer life.

Choose a neutral eye shadow shade which fits your skin tone or is somewhat lighter. After that, utilize a loose tender eye shadow sponge applicator, to spread the basic eye shadow on your eyelids beginning from the lash line to the brow bone.

Choose between black, brown or gray eyeshadow for a Halloween appearance and use a smaller blending brush to apply a darker color on the eye socket line moving and blending it away at the upper brow.

Make sure to use eyeshadow that is even darker than what you usually wear (deep purple or charcoal work well). Look toward the outer corner of your eye so as not to distract from the shape of the lid itself. Start at the outside corner with a small angled brush, creating V angles first using darkest shades possible; then blend towards the socket to create 3D dimensionality.

Opt for black or darkly shaded eyeliner pencil or gel liner. Begin lining your upper lash line from the inside corner, and then make it gradually broader as you extend outward. To enhance this effect make it look more striking by drawing the liner a bit farther ahead outside part of your eye in a slight wing.

Choose a highlighting eye shadow that is shimmery or metallic and a light color (gold, silver, or white); you can then add brightness and make your eyes look bigger with the use of an eyeliner brush.

Using a small, angled brush, apply some of the darker eyeshadow color under your lower lash line and smudge slightly. In this way you give more balance to your look and define the eyes.

Clean up fallout or smudges around the eye by using either a makeup wipe or cotton swab dipped in makeup remover. Perfect the look for your Halloween eye makeup by touching up any necessary areas.

If you follow these steps, you will look stunning with Halloween eye make up which is complete with your costume and attractive at the same time!
