Halloween is just around the corner, and you may be wondering how to create a fun and festive look without spending a lot of money on makeup. The good news is that you can easily create a variety of Simple Halloween Makeup Ideas using makeup that you already have in your makeup bag.

As a makeup artist I get asked about what to use for dress up looks and I have found that Mums and Dads (actually anyone really) can be a bit afraid to try certain looks due to the products they might need or how difficult application might be. Over the years I have done some videos of simple looks you can recreate using makeup that is in your makeup bag. Some of my favourites are below:

Hopefully they are helpful (even though in some cases funny to watch back haha!)

Here are some other ideas:

• Cat: This classic look is easy to achieve with black eyeliner and eyeshadow. Simply draw a line of eyeliner across your upper lash line and wing it out at the end. Then, use a black eyeshadow to create a smoky eye look. Finish with some false lashes and you're good to go!

• Skeleton: This look is perfect for those who want to be a little spooky for Halloween. Start by contouring your face with a light brown eyeshadow. Then, use a black eyeliner to draw on skeleton bones. You can also use a white eyeshadow to highlight the bones. Finish with a black lipstick and you're all set!

• Vampire: This look is perfect for those who want to be a little glam for Halloween. Start by applying a foundation that is one shade lighter than your natural skin tone. Then, use a red eyeshadow to create a smoky eye look. Finish with a red lipstick and you're ready to bite!

• Witch: This look is perfect for those who want to be a little bit magical for Halloween. Start by applying a foundation that is one shade darker than your natural skin tone. Then, use a green eyeshadow to create a smoky eye look. Finish with a black lipstick and you're ready to cast a spell!

These are just a few ideas to get you started. With a little creativity, you can create any number of simple Halloween looks using makeup that you already have in your makeup bag. So have fun and experiment!

Tips for Creating Simple Halloween Looks:

• Start with a clean and moisturised face. This will help your makeup look its best.

• Use a foundation that is the right shade for your skin tone. This will help your makeup look natural.

• Apply your eyeshadow in thin layers. This will help you avoid over-applying your makeup.

• Use a black eyeliner to create sharp, defined lines.

• Set your makeup with a translucent powder. This will help your makeup last longer.

• Don't be afraid to experiment! Halloween is the perfect time to try new makeup looks.
