Deer Makeup Tutorial

With a big focus on the eyes, this deer-inspired makeup tutorial is easy to pull off last minute. Apply a light brown, neutral smoky eye and then line it with black and white eyeliner. After that, all you need is a black nose and white spots around your eyes and cheeks. Try it at home with this quick tutorial. 

Mermaid Makeup Tutorial

Once you apply a full face of makeup as a base, use a purple eyeshadow to contour your face. A pair of fishnets will be your best friend to add texture to your makeup and give you a scaly pattern. Metallic eye makeup and pearl detailing will be the finishing touches to the look.

Clown Makeup Tutorial

Scarecrow Makeup Tutorial

If you have a flannel and a straw hat in your closet, you have yourself a last-minute Halloween costume. This makeup look involves a brown and gold eye makeup look, intense blush and detailing with black liner. The stitching around your mouth, eyes and nose are a must.
