HALLOWEEN MAKEUP LOOKS & PRODUCTS

A good Halloween makeup look starts with choosing long-lasting, waterproof, transfer-resistant, and sweat-resistant makeup products that can withstand the elements, eating and drinking, and partying all night long. Here are some makeup products to look for:

• Start with makeup primer to give your Halloween face makeup a solid base.
• Choose long-lasting foundation like Super Stay® Lumi-Matte if coverage is desired.
• Select waterproof or water-resistant eye makeup products for your eye makeup needs such as eyeliner, mascara, and eyeshadow.
• Use longwear lipstick like those found in our Super Stay lip line.
• Finish your look with setting powder or setting spray.

The exact makeup products you’ll need will depend on your chosen costume or character, but with these basics, you should have a solid foundation for a super scary horror Halloween makeup look or super cute Halloween makeup ideas!

It’s important to prep your face for Halloween makeup with proper skincare and a makeup primer.

Before applying any makeup, be sure to wash your face with a gentle facial cleanser, use a moisturizer, and then allow your face to dry down fully before beginning to apply your makeup. This clean, moisturized canvas will help your makeup to apply more easily and last longer by mitigating oiliness and/or dryness.

Start your makeup look by applying makeup primer. Primer helps to smooth out your base and helps makeup products to better adhere to your skin, increasing longevity. Maybelline offers a variety of primers based on your needs, but for Halloween makeup looks that need extra gripping power, we recommend Grippy Serum™ Up To 24HR Hydrating Grip Primer.

To touch up your Halloween makeup, be sure to keep a few essentials with you and follow these tips:

• Carry your lipstick of choice with you for quick touch-ups. Gently wipe your lips with a tissue before reapplying to make sure you have a clean, dry surface.
• Consider using products that are easy to carry with you for easy reapplication. We love makeup sticks like Color Tattoo® Eye Stix for your eye makeup looks or the Lifter Stix™ Multi-Use Face Stick for quick face makeup touchups.
• If you’re prone to oiliness, bring a translucent setting powder with you to quickly powder away shine. Many of our powder compacts include a built-in mirror and applicator, making touch-ups extra easy on the go.
• Keep some tissues or blotting paper with you to absorb excess oil and sweat.

Maybelline makeup is available online through retailers like Amazon and Ulta, at your local drugstores like CVS Pharmacy or Walgreens, or at your favorite major retail grocery chain like Walmart or Target.

To get your Halloween makeup to stay on all night, be sure to start off your look with makeup primer, choose long-lasting Halloween makeup products, and finish your look with setting spray or setting powder.

• Start your Halloween makeup look with primer to create a smooth, even base that holds your look in place.
• Choose long-lasting makeup formulas that are waterproof, transfer-proof, and sweat-resistant. Check out products above on this page that feature a variety of longwear benefits.
• Finish your look with setting spray or setting powder to lock your look in place. Choose a matte setting spray or dewy setting spray depending on your desired finish. Consider using setting powder in between face makeup layers to set your makeup.
