This year, we’re taking cues from famous and fierce females to bring you a range of Halloween makeup ideas, from bold and theatrical to subtle and ethereal
Chappell Roan
Chappell Roan’s makeup mirrors her music that is dramatic, expressive, and unapologetically bold. Her porcelain-white complexion serves as the perfect canvas for vivid purple eyeshadow that covers the lids entirely. Defined black eyeliner and voluminous lashes heighten the intensity, while glossy deep-red lips add a haunting, almost vampiric allure. Finishing touches like black nails and dazzling accessories complete this darkly glamorous transformation.

Jenna Ortega
For those drawn to mystery and gothic aesthetics, Jenna Ortega’s look is the ultimate inspiration. A pale matte base and absence of blush lend an icy, almost ethereal quality. Smoky grey and black eyeshadows are blended outward, with sharply winged eyeliner creating a feline shape. Deep wine-red lips inject a moody sensuality, balancing the stark palette. Her dark hair, paired with a white faux-fur jacket, completes a refined yet eerie modern gothic allure.

Jennie
Jennie’s look centres around her striking bright-red hair, complemented by a smooth, natural base that radiates freshness and confidence. A soft rose-pink blush sweeps gently across her cheeks, giving a healthy flush that echoes the warmth of her coral-toned lips. Minimal eyeliner and delicately curled lashes keep the focus on her vivid hair, creating a balanced and effortlessly modern look.

Sabrina Carpenter
Sabrina Carpenter channels the timeless elegance of Hollywood’s golden era. Her luminous, soft-focus foundation gives a healthy radiance, while peach-pink blush sweeps upwards from the cheeks to sculpt a classic contour. Gentle brown smoky eyes and subtly winged liner add depth, framing her gaze with understated drama. Her red lipstick, vibrant yet refined, becomes the focal point, exuding retro sophistication. Paired with blonde hair and shimmering accessories, she perfectly embodies a “silver-screen goddess” for the festive season.

XG
Finally, Japanese girl group XG offers a futuristic “crystal makeup” look, a vision suspended between technology and fantasy. A dewy, translucent base acts as a canvas for crystals delicately placed around the eyes and cheeks, twinkling like scattered starlight. Pink contact lenses and red crystal accents add dimension, while black eyeliner defines a sleek, sci-fi silhouette. Natural, glossy lips balance the radiance, making this an accessible and fresh take on Halloween glamour — one that shines rather than frightens.
