The best part about Halloween is freely being able to dress the way you want to dress during the other 364 days of the year. (Is that just me?) I can’t help but love an over-lined eye, all-black everything, and random glitter on my face for no reason. And on Halloween, I can truly let my freak flag fly without having to explain it to anyone. Whenever I choose a Halloween eye makeup look, I always do something that will stand out from the crowd and make sure that my peepers truly pop.
There are so many different Halloween makeup looks you can do that require little to no makeup skills. Trust me, if you can draw a semi-straight line or a circle, you can complete most of these looks, so don’t let them intimidate you. Plus, if you find you can’t achieve a look exactly the way the makeup artist did, all the better — find a way to make it your own. The looks don’t have to be exactly the same to convey a spooky message. With these 10 Halloween eye makeup ideas as your guide, grab some liquid eyeliner, find your bedroom’s best lighting, and get ready to play up your eyes with some seriously spooky looks.

The easiest way to create a porcelain doll-inspired makeup look is to apply eyeliner to your waterline and directly underneath it to make your eyes appear large and wide, like a doll’s. Draw on false eyelashes with black eyeliner along the outline of the white eyeliner. The effect will have your eyes looking larger than life, dramatic, and, yes, extra creepy.

Sometimes, you literally can’t even on Halloween and just have to throw on animal ears and head out the door. I don’t blame you, and there are some seriously cute ways to pull off a fast, easy Halloween eye makeup look to get you out the door. After applying your usual smoky eye makeup look, draw on a cat nose with black eyeliner, and dot your face with whiskers using the same eye pencil.

Creepy Crack

Scare all your friends by rocking some colored contacts painting your face so that it looks decrepit and seconds from cracking into a million pieces. This look is easy to do with just a liquid eyeliner pencil. Simply create jagged lines coming out of your eyes on all sides and corners. Remember, these should be sharp and angular. Make yourself look extra creepy by whiting out your lips with foundation or white powder and concentrating a creepy red stain in the middle of your lips.
