Pairing Your Eyewear with Spooky Makeup Looks for Halloween

Everybody is in high spirits as Halloween draws nearer. There’s much to look forward to, including going out with friends and dressing up to celebrate this unique holiday. However, not everybody has the time to put together an intricate costume. This doesn’t mean that you can’t be festive during Halloween parties. Instead of focusing on the spooky elements of an outfit, why not try playing around with your makeup instead? Makeup is an excellent way to make a statement, especially when wearing accessories like eyeglasses. Here’s how to pair your makeup with your glasses to enhance your Halloween costume.

Practice Your Smokey Eye

A smokey is a great starting point for many Halloween makeup looks, including the ones that incorporate glasses. By drawing attention to your eyes, the smokey eye can further accentuate your classic black frames. You can achieve this look by blowing out any eyeshadow color from the lid to the crease. Be sure to blend the shadow from the crease outwards to create that smokey look. To ensure a crease-proof look and all-night wear, use an eyeshadow base. This will intensify the impact of your smokey eye makeup.

Try Out Skulls

The great thing about skulls is that you can easily create one that corresponds to your makeup skill and level of artistry. You can create a simple skull or an intricate one depending on what you’re comfortable with. Similar to the smokey eye tip above, ensure that the makeup detail around your eyes is most intense so that it can emphasize your eyeglasses. We’ve chosen a pair of dark oversized glasses here to wear with your skull makeup.

Use Simple Prosthetics Like Fangs

A vampire with glasses — why not? There are so many depictions of vampires throughout history and pop culture that are easy to draw inspiration from. You can make this vampire look your own by adding a pair of cat-eye-shaped specs while staying true to the essence of the character with a set of fangs and some fake blood. Keep the rest of your makeup simple; the fangs speak for themselves. This won’t distract or overwhelm your face, especially if you already have glasses.

 

Put Your Own Spin On The Classics

The great thing about Halloween is the level of creativity that you can put into your version of well-established looks, especially with accessories such as eyeglasses. For instance, you can put your own spin on Pennywise the Clown by doing your makeup similarly to the photo above and then donning a pair of eyeglasses to polish the look. This elevates the costume to have a more refreshing and modern twist.

Paint The Mask Onto Your Face Instead Of Buying One

Masks are an easy way to dress up for Halloween, but they can make it difficult to breathe and see what’s around you, resulting in an uncomfortable experience. Aside from that, once you take the mask off to eat and drink, the magic of your costume disappears. And if you need glasses to see well, you can’t wear them with a mask. Using cream or water-activated face paints can help you create a customized mask for any costume that will make it easier for you to wear your glasses.
