These Witch Makeup Ideas Will Seriously Creep Everyone Out

I’ll get you, my pretty! Dressing up as a witch for Halloween is by far one of the most popular costumes, likely because it can be a pretty easy outfit to throw together (black, flowy dress? Check. Pointy hat? Got it!). Although most choose to go the creepy-spooky-scary witch route, you can also lean toward the pretty, fairy-like witch (think Glinda the Good Witch of The Wizard of Oz and Wicked fame). Gothic, glamorous, evil…whichever witch you choose, one thing’s for sure—the witch makeup makes all the difference. When planning your DIY witch costume this year, put your best face forward with Halloween face paint ideas and Halloween makeup ideas that will take your Halloween look to the next level.

Here, we’ve rounded up simple Halloween makeup ideas along with the harder stuff, too. No one ever said creepy is easy, so we got you on the step-by-step instructions and video tutorials.
