Halloween is all about the costumes (well, and trick-or-treating for the best Halloween candy). And even though we are all in on going all out with DIY Halloween costumes for guys, DIY Halloween costumes for women, and best Halloween costumes for kids, sometimes we just don’t have the time or energy to pull off a full-on, elaborate getup. Enter face paint, that can transform your entire look while barely spending any money on a costume (maybe even none at all). In fact, face paint may just be the Halloween hero we’ve all been waiting for!
Whether you're looking for kid-friendly face paint ideas (think dinosaurs and pirates) or a style a bit more grown-up (say, a vibrant, painted-on bat-eye mask), there's an idea on our list suited for you. Because it wouldn't be Halloween without a few scary makeup looks, we’ve included wicked witch, vampire with dripping blood, creepy skull, and more face paint ideas for adults. We've also managed to scatter in some just plain pretty options, like a simple doe-eyed deer, and cute and funny Halloween face paint ideas, like an adorable puppy and a clown (happy clowns only, please!). Short on time? Try a quick and easy face paint idea like drawing cobwebs around smoky eyes for a devilishly easy DIY transformation.
So get into the Halloween spirit by browsing these incredibly cool Halloween face paint ideas for kids and adults for a fun alternative to a full-on costume. You’ll look
boo-tiful in no time!
