For us ladies who don't necessarily want to partake in the scary costume get ups this Halloween, it's imperative that we find a way to stand out. Clearly, we still want to dress up, but we want to make jaws drop in awe, not from fear. With that being said, coming up with a few pretty Halloween makeup ideas is the way to make yourself become the brightest star in the room.
From glitter to the perfect winged eyeliner, there are plenty of ways to paint that face of yours into something that will be hard to forget.

Turn the heads of goblins, ghouls, and zombies with a little extra TLC to your makeup. It's almost like we get to step into a completely different persona for Halloween.

So, if you need some tips on how you can make your makeup the shiniest thing in the room this Halloween, these ladies have got you covered.
Hey, who says you can't take some inspiration from the moon, one of the brightest things in the sky? Being a moon child is not only simple, but you have room to make it your own — a variation that's unique just like you. Be ready for people to literally revolve around you, moon child.
Scales are so full of color options, and being a mermaid guarantees that shimmer you can't wear all of the time. Glitter and being a mermaid walk hand in hand... or is it hand in fin?

Yes, we still believe in fairies. After you rock this fairy look, people won't really have a choice. Tinker Bell isn't the only fairy who can make wishes come true.

Every depiction of Cleopatra involves some type of gold. The woman is known in history for being so incredibly beautiful, among other things. Depicting her in a costume means you get to play with some bronzer and highlighter. Maybe not everything that glistens is gold, but in this case, gold is outshining everything.
A face full of glitter is a surefire way to glisten throughout the night. Using glitter as your main makeup ingredient should involve some tactful planning. You don't want to just sprinkle glitter on your face and walk out the door. Glow with a purpose, and shine like you were born to.
Who doesn't like comic books? You'll look like something that just hopped out of the pages and decided to join the Halloween festivities.

Dolling up with a pretty makeup scheme this Halloween can be a fun little project to take on. There's nothing wrong with swapping spooky for fabulous.
