8 Surprisingly Easy SFX Makeup Tricks to Try For Halloween

Step 3: Apply any desired "glam" makeup look you'd like. Here, we went with a vampy lip and dark-rimmed eyes.

Step 4: Start painting inside of the zipper with any bright color. We mixed together blue, green, and teal and set it with powder.

Step 5: Finish off with loose gold glitter applied using a sponge. Have tape handy to remove excess glitter from the rest of your face and clothing.

The finished look! You can also keep the same technique for a gory look and replace the colorful paint inside with fake blood.

Step 2: Use black eyeliner to outline your lips, cheekbones, collarbones, neck, jawline, and nose and to bolden your brows. Lay the black on thick in the hairline, painting brush-like shading on one side to give more of a 2D effect. We had a cream liner for creating ink "strokes," but you can also try a liquid liner.

Step 3: Fill inside the lines on your lips and the tear drop, using white paint as highlight.

The finished look! Now you can re-create your favorite Roy Lichtenstein painting or pay homage to Wonder Woman and other superheroes.

Step 1: Cover up your brows using glue stick (here's a step-by-step on how to do that) and let it dry completely. Then, use black cream eye shadow to cover your neck and fill in your eye sockets, nasal cavity, and the entire mouth (all the way up to your cheekbones). Paint white paint everywhere else.

Step 2: Intensify the white paint.

Step 3: Blend the edges using a brush packed with black eye shadow.

Step 4: Grab a lip brush to apply white paint over your lips and create the illusion of teeth. Stretch each streak with a light hand so it looks like the "roots" of the teeth. Set the whole look using a generous amount of matte loose powder.

Step 5: Finish off by lining the teeth with liquid liner and a little white mascara. Now you've got the complete look! For a little something extra, draw vertebrae down the neck and add cracks to the skin.

Optional: let your hair down to look even more like you've stepped out of a horror film.

Step 2: Fill in what will be the deeper parts of the wrinkles with blue-gray paint. Apply black paint on the eye sockets, forming a furrowed brow.

Step 3: Use a clean lip brush to lightly blend between the contour and highlight of each wrinkle. Once you've done the whole face, set it with matte loose powder. Draw thin black lines inside the lips and vertically down the lips. Put on black shadow to enhance the wrinkles and create more depth.

Step 3: Use a matte red lipstick to draw an exaggerated lip shape. Take the same shade to draw lines upward from the corners of the mouth to above the center of the brow bone.

Step 1: Use white grease makeup on the face, eyelids, brows, and neck. Set with powder, leaving some skin tone coming through under the eyes and around the nose and the corners of the mouth. Dust a shimmery highlighter all over.

Step 2: Sculpt cheeks, forehead, lips, and chin with gray shadow. Follow with blue shadow to look "chilled."

Step 4: Put on an ombré lip using a berry color and highlighter in the center. Shade the lips' inner corner using a gray eye shadow and blend.

Step 5: Layer on liquid latex using a sponge and press sea salt crystals to the chin, temples, and forehead using a spatula. Mix in different sizes of salt for a multidimensional effect.

Step 1: To create the base look, cover up the brows using a glue stick and draw on exaggerated, highly arched brows. Overline the lower lash line with white liner and apply false upper and lower lashes to create "doll" eyes. Brush on pink blush to the apples of the cheeks, keeping it round and tight. Finish with a red lip and powder your face all over with highlighter to look porcelain.

Step 2: Use a black liquid liner and create any thick "crack" shape. Anything goes!

Step 3: Start drawing thin lines with sharp ends from the big crack. Apply with softer pressure to create thinner lines.

Step 1: Start with your usual shade of foundation.

Step 3: Highlight and contour your face.

Step 4: Create your own eye shadow look — deep violet, purple, and black give off a ghoulish, goth vibe. Finish the look with black lipstick.
