Traditional Halloween Carvings – Makeup Tutorial

It was a Halloween like any other when he entered his home and placed the grocery bags on the table. Then, he took a knife and the pumpkin he had bought to replace the one he had already carved for that day, but that had inexplicably disappeared from his home. When he brought the knife closer to the pumpkin’s flesh to cut into it, the lights dimmed suddenly, and before him appeared something he never again hoped to see: Another pumpkin, exactly like the one […]

Sparkly Clown Halloween Makeup Tutorial

Clowns, they are a symbol of happiness and fun, but for many, they represent a deeply-rooted fear that not always can be explained, which is why they have become a popular option for Halloween costumes, since the versatility of the makeup and the enhanced proportions of their facial features allow for a wide array of expressions and emotions to be conveyed with visuals that, even with a concept as popular as a clown, can create something unique and unforgettable. This is the case of the […]

A Scarecrow’s Charm – Halloween Makeup Tutorial

I generally don’t like scarecrows. I understand their use in both farming and horror, but it is the latter that truly gets my attention. I’m not afraid of them because of their stitching, or how they are often made to look worn-out, but because of the atmosphere they create around them. Stand in front of a scarecrow at a crowded place and you’ll probably feel nothing, but be the only person in a deserted field with a scarecrow staring at you quietly from across the […]

Big Halloween Smiles – Makeup Tutorial

I discovered the creature before me, and to my own surprise, the enlarged smile that Sydney Nicole had masterfully recreated, which covered most of her face was not the only part that my eyes fixed on. It was big and menacing, no doubt, and it showed a row of sharp white teeth that could probably shred anything in seconds, but they weren’t all that scary. It seemed that the smile was a friendlier one, with more mischief than malice to it, and if that had […]

Lady Thanos Halloween Might – Makeup Tutorial

I’m staring at a villain that’s so ruthless that the entire universe was in danger of being destroyed by her, and as I see her purple skin and the lines on her face that run down from her forehead all the way to her chin, I stop to gaze upon her eyes, where the wonders of countless galaxies seem to shine at me, and I realize how ignorant I am of what lies beyond my atmosphere, and I suddenly feel incredibly small compared to this […]

Comic-Style Devilish Glamour – Makeup Tutorial

There are characters who aren’t born evil, and their villainous nature doesn’t stem from them making a deal with the devil, or having supernatural powers, but it instead comes from them straying from the path while they follow their innermost desires and cravings. Such is the case of Cruella De Vil, who may have already sounded evil since the cradle, but who essentially is nothing more than an entitled rich lady willing to go to extremes to get what she wants, not caring who she […]

The Mystique Of Universal Beauty – Halloween Makeup Tutorial

When I opened my eyes on Halloween night, I found myself swimming in total darkness. I looked around, trying to find my way back, but I couldn’t even see my hands in front of my face, and as I cried out, I felt my words getting lost in the immense velvet nothingness that I was now inexplicably invading. Then, a single ray of light shone in my direction and I turned to meet it, and the light of hundreds of stars suddenly lit my way, […]

Snazzy Witch Doctor Makeup Tutorial

Are you ready? I have a confession to make: Dr. Facilier is easily one of my favorite villains, as I think he actually was in a position to some very dangerous things. I mean, the way he just toyed with people’s lives? That’s ace bad guy material right there! Anyway, the reason I say this is because this Witch Doctor makeup tutorial by Madalyn Cline takes some inspiration from that character to create a very special look for Halloween, and you’ll surely want to put […]

Joker Halloween Madness – Makeup Tutorial

I couldn’t deny the power of the dark elements before me as I witnessed the completion of Madeyewlook’s Joker makeup tutorial. I stared at the shiny effect on the lips and the messy makeup around the eyes and mouth that gave the impression that this particular character had been walking in the rain, perhaps trying to escape all manner of sadness within, letting the water gently wash it away with each droplet. Afterwards, my speculative nature told me that it could just as easily be […]
