Halloween Witch Makeup Tutorials That Are Truly Terrifying

This Halloween, we’re bringing scary back. Sure, even though we love putting together a cute or stylish look on a daily basis, but when it comes to Halloween, we’ll take scary over sexy in a heartbeat. Remember the days when it was more likely you’d see a ghost or a monster at a Halloween party than a sexy nurse or sultry cat? We’re resurrecting that time and excited to get back to the origins of Halloween costume traditions, and we’re starting with witches.

Witches have been haunting people for centuries in many different forms, which is why witches make a perfect spooky costume. There isn’t one definitive witch look, so you can get super creative, whether you’re pulling inspiration from your favorite scary movies or go for a more traditional Salem-inspired costume. Regardless of your sartorial lineup though, you’ll also want to stock up on some epic witchy woman makeup, which won’t only look great on ‘gram, but it’ll also help you get into character.

To inspire your own Halloween witch makeup, we’ve pulled together some of the best tutorials from YouTube. There’s everything from Wizard of Oz’s Wicked West of the West to a hanged witch—who you def don’t want haunting your nightmares.

Our mission at STYLECASTER is to bring style to the people, and we only feature products we think you’ll love as much as we do. Please note that if you purchase something by clicking on a link within this story, we may receive a small commission of the sale.
