As we head into the spooky season of October, we’ve only got one question for you: what are you dressing up as for Halloween? While some have been planning and preparing their October 31st debut since several months ago, you might have found yourself scrambling to pull together your costume at the last minute with less enthusiasm. Not to worry, because we’ve pulled together 6 makeup looks, ranging from spooky to scary to cute, that are easy to recreate in a short amount of time. All you need are the key tools in your arsenal, which we’ve recommended for each look courtesy of our fave K-beauty brands, so you can nail your makeup and costume in a cinch. Pull up your socks, it’s time to raise some hairs and get into the spirit of Halloween - keep scrolling for inspiration and tutorials.
Wednesday Addams
Often described as grim, ghastly and woeful, Wednesday Addams’ signature makeup look is definitely a choice pick for the spookiest time of year. Her look is defined by cool tones and shadow, which can be translated onto the eyes with the CLIO Shade & Shadow Palette in 01 Shadow Gallery. Filled with buttery shadows in shades of taupe and gray, the palette perfectly captures Wednesday’s cool-girl, true-to-herself energy. Use the Romand Juicy Lasting Tint in 17 Plum Coke for a moody wash of burgundy on the lips, lightly blotting the pigment for a sheer finish.

Channel your inner debutante and get to recreating the fresh-faced makeup of Bridgerton’s fashionable society. Upon her debut to the Queen, Daphne Bridgerton kept things simple and clean with an immaculate, natural complexion. Use the Romand Bare Water Cushion to get the look: this cushion creates a my-skin-but-better effect with a lightweight formula that adheres tightly to the skin. Groom your brows with the Romand Han All Brow Fixer to accentuate your natural features and frame the face. Flawless, my dear!
Siren
If you’re more geared towards sweet looks instead of scary, the Siren is *the* look to make a splash at your Halloween party. Checking the boxes of both ethereal and alluring, you’ll want to reach for a glowing highlighter that creates a wet look, like the Too Cool For School Artclass By Rodin Highlighter in #1 Glam - this creates the image of a Siren emerging from the sea. The eye makeup consists of complimentary luminous tones, which the peripera All Take Mood Like Palette in 01 Prestige Pink provides; in it you also get a blush shade in the same color story to make the whole look monochromatically cohesive.
Black Swan
Presenting a perfect combination of glam and horror is the Black Swan ballerina, a symbol of dark elegance. There are variations and different makeup approaches to the Black Swan, but K-pop idol Ningning from girl group Aespa stole the show with dramatic eye makeup. To achieve her intense look, sketch and fill in an eye-lifting wing with the MERZY The First Gel Eyeliner in 01 Black Moon. Follow with several coats of the CLIO Kill Lash Superproof Mascara in 04 Extreme Volume for exactly that, extreme volume. The result? A piercing, unforgettable gaze.
Barbie Girl
Hi Barbie! Recreating the iconic doll’s look calls for everything pink, everywhere. Layer the Unleashia Sisua Butter Waffle Dough Blusher in No.1 Strawberry Vanilla on the cheeks; this putty-to-powder formula blends seamlessly into the skin and delivers a lively flush that doesn’t highlight skin texture. Pink lips to match the complexion is a must, so slick on a coat of the peripera Ink Glasting Lip Gloss in 008 Love of Fate to emulate the high-shine plastic effect of Barbie while keeping the lips comfy and flexible.
Jigsaw
It doesn’t take a complicated process to get the instantly-recognizable look of Jigsaw, aka Billy the Puppet, from the popular horror franchise Saw. Take a longwear red lip - we recommend the Etude House Mask Proof Fixing Tint in 02 Vintage Red - to create Jigsaw’s cheek spiral motifs, sinister red mouth, and blood drip detail. To make your handiwork last even longer, spritz on a layer of the Too Cool For School Artclass Finish Setting Fixer that will fix all pigment into place until it’s time to wash it off.
