5. Pop Art Zombie Halloween Makeup

Next, we have a pop art inspired zombie idea. Pop art is bright and bold so many may not think of a design like this for Halloween. However, as you can see, this pastel pop art zombie makeup looks awesome. You can recreate a similar look to this one or use your own color palette of vibrant shades.

6. Scary Half Face Pumpkin Makeup

Half makeup designs are loved at Halloween and this idea uses that look in an unusual way. Generally, the half makeup runs down the face, however this artist has created the look across to create a mask like design. We love this idea because it is unique and creepy. You can use the half pumpkin look like featured or use a different scary creature.

7. Nightmare Before Christmas Sally

The Nightmare Before Christmas is an iconic movie about Halloween and Christmas, and this next idea was inspired by the character Sally. The artist has created an amazing look with the makeup, costume and hair. She has also added 3D stitches rather than painting them onto the skin. You can find tutorials for this online. 3D stitches will give your makeup a jaw-dropping look.
