Halloween is easily a favorite time of year for makeup artists. During the season, makeup artists can use their creativity to master jaw-dropping festive looks. From angels to zombies and everything in between, Halloween makeup truly transforms the individual. The following are a few makeup trends that the New York Institute of Beauty team is keeping an eye on for this Halloween.
Angels
Sweet and feminine makeup looks will also be on trend and used to create looks that include angels, fairies, and princesses. The eye makeup will be the most notable thing to stand out when creating these looks. Eye shadow in bright and pastel shades will be blended and layered for a sweet effect. Then, you may draw flowers and stars by freehand with face paint. You will see lipstick colors in pouty pinks and reds.
Clowns
Creating clown makeup is appealing because you can go in any direction: silly looks or terrifying appearances reminiscent of Pennywise. For the former, you will add fun with neon colors instead of deep, richer shades. Makeup artists can apply neon pinks, yellows, and blues to embrace a silly clown look. Create a high drama scary clown look with a white, black, and red color palette.
Disney
Any Disney makeup look will stand out in the crowd, but Cruella is especially popular in 2021. One look will feature recreating Emma Stone’s outrageous runway look with a light powder and black face paint stenciled across the eyes and cheeks. Looks with the famed dalmatian polka dots will also be popular.
Zombies
Zombies continue to dominate the Halloween makeup scene for 2021. Makeup artists love to create zombie looks because there are many styles you can choose from. Dark eye makeup paired with a light powder can be a straightforward way to get your base done before adding gore and blood as special effects. You can apply zombie makeup looks to any costumed getup: zombie cheerleader, zombie princess, zombie mom, and many, many more.
