Halloween is now a way to dress up in a grand way. This year, and for the past 2 to 3 years, the trend has been towards glamorous makeup, letting terrifying makeup fade away. To be on-trend, you also need to watch recently released horror series and movies.

Our 8 easy Halloween makeup ideas

Cruella de Vil, in the modern age

A devilish woman at her most glamorous, nothing beats choosing Cruella de Vil! All you need is to put on your fur, a two-tone wig, your red lipstick and, of course, your most diabolical laugh!

Snow White, and optical illusions

To create this beautiful makeup, you will need blue eyeshadow, a black pencil, as well as a white eyeshadow for the shadows to create a 3D effect. And don't forget the red lipstick.

Focus on accessories, especially a black bob wig, and a red headband.

Medusa, the goddess with snakes

Indeed, this is not a terrifying makeup, but remember the powers of the Gorgon sister: a monster with hair made of venomous snakes, turning anyone into stone.

To become this deity, you will need fishnet tights (very useful as a stencil to create the scales), green eyeshadow, rhinestones, black or green lipstick. The element that will make your makeup the best: white contact lenses!

A she-devil, with glitter galore

Do you want to be devilish, but you're a big fan of rhinestones? We've found THE Halloween makeup for you! How about a she-devil with glittery horns? A simple and quick look to achieve.

Get a creamy red eyeshadow, apply it all over your face and body. Then, using a black pencil draw an eyeliner stroke as well as lines on the face to give it dimension. Don't forget the rhinestones all over the lips and horns, they will be the glamorous touch of your makeup.

Little Red Riding Hood, caught by the Wolf

Everyone knows Little Red Riding Hood, defined as a carefree and cute character. We decided to transform her into someone evil and dark for Halloween.

To achieve this makeup, first apply complexion makeup, eyes and mouth (of course, we opt for a red lipstick).

Halloween Makeup: A Bloody Queen

Did you also fall in love with Zendaya's Halloween makeup? We'll tell you right away how to achieve this result.

First, do your complexion. Replace your bronzer with a black eyeshadow. Make up your eyes with a beautiful smokey eye, then tackle the scars. To do this, you will need: a black pencil, a white eyeshadow to blend the wounds together. A touch of fake blood running down to the neck, a crown, and it's time to go knocking on doors!

A clown like no other

For several years, the movie It, inspired by Stephen King's horror novel, has been terrifying audiences worldwide. It quickly became the scariest clown in cinematic history. What if, for Halloween, it was your turn to be the nightmarish clown with the famous red nose and balloon?

A white complexion, black eyes, colored contact lenses, a nose and red lips, the famous wide smile, you have now become everyone's bogeyman.

Easy Halloween makeup: Dahmer, the killer with glasses

Many Halloween enthusiasts draw inspiration from Netflix series. Different universes are offered on this platform, which allows for a wide range of choices to create a terrifying evening.

This year again, a series caused a stir: named Dahmer. It is based on the story of Jeffrey Dahmer, a cannibal serial killer. Did you get chills too?

Glasses, the gaze, the hair, a barrel of acid, are enough to embody the role of this horrifying character.

Are you ready for horror to unfold?
