You have two types of people on Halloween. You have those that plan ahead and as soon as the clock strikes midnight on Halloween, they’ve already got next year’s costume on their mind, and then you have those that will leave everything until the very last minute.

Regardless of which category you fall into, Halloween gives you the chance to really get creative and show off your incredible makeup skills!

Here are 5 totally cool and simple makeup looks for Halloween that you can easily re-create or draw inspiration from:

Recreate this ultra-glam sad girl look with your favorite berry lipstick and a smokey eye!

With this makeup look, it’s all about the drama.

Start by concealing your eyebrows to create the illusion of pencil-thin eyebrows with a super fine eyeliner. Then grab your most dramatic pair of falsies (don’t forget an extra pair for your bottom lashes)!

Protip: you can easily turn this makeup look into a 1920s flapper costume with some vintage looking accessories!

5. Fake scars and cuts
