Best Halloween Makeup Ideas to match your look…
Frida Kahlo
Beyoncé as Frida Kahlo
Don’t you just love it when celebrities dress up as other celebrities? The late Mexican artist is a popular Halloween go to and this is because of the ease it takes to pull off Frida Kahlo. All you need is a thick uni-brow, a lot of deep pink blush, and flowers in your hair. Simple yet extremely elegant. Don’t ask us, see how the Queen B herself got it done!
Skull face
Rihanna in half skull face
A classic skull face make up will take away the burden of a full costume, it’s just the right amount of scare for the night. If you’re doing something like this half-faced Rihanna look, you might want to stay indoors or risk covering all that goodness with a mask.
Mark up
Lady Gaga as ancient royalty
This is giving us exquisite royalty vibes. All you need is an eyeliner with a super sharp precision tip. And perhaps a steady hand. See how Lady Gaga did it here.
Zombie
Kim Kardashian as a skeleton zombie
We absolutely love Kim Kardashian’s take on the classic zombie look. It will take a lot of body paint though but you can definitely DIY this, don’t you think?
Joker
Rico Nasty as the Joker
This is one clown that can keep you tweaking. Some green hair color and a wide red lipstick smile and there, you’re now joker! Surely, Rico Nasty knows the drill!
Prey

A little fake injury here, some fake blood there and you’re prey for the night. Who knows, you might get a little saving from a superhero.
Princess Diaries
Vanessa Gyimah as Princess Jasmine
You can be a little Disney princess this Halloween, like Ghanaian makeup artiste, Vanessa Gyimah’s Princess Jasmine inspired look.
Animal skin
Kandi Burruss as a fierce feline
A pro tip to achieving this is drawing a simple pattern over your skin. Like distorted Cs with a dot in the middle. It doesn’t have to be anything complex.
Jessica Rabbit
Ashley Graham as Jessica Rabbit
Add a little sensuality to your Halloween with bold red hair and red-lipped Jessica Rabbit. See how model, Ashley Graham did it!
Penny Wise
Carrie Ann Inaba as Pennywise
Our second clown has to be Penny Wise. We love TV personality, Carrie Ann Inaba’s full dedication to his character here.
