Last minute Halloween makeup ideas Last-minute Halloween party? Don't worry, nss G-Club has got you covered

Some people plan their Halloween costumes weeks in advance. And then there’s you: up until yesterday, you swore you weren’t doing anything, and now you have an invitation to a party and zero ideas. Don’t panic, it really only takes a few products to pull off killer looks. Here are five ideas to inspire you.

Last-minute ideas for a simple, original, and striking Halloween makeup look

Zombie fashion week edition

Forget the classic carnival zombie: no fake blood, no ripped clothes. This is all about an undead, post-runway model glow. The skin should be deliberately too pale to care: mix your foundation with a touch of white paint (literally available at any local store right now) and set it with a bit of powder for that cold, pale tone of someone who never sleeps but still makes every Fashion Week after-party. Under the eyes, skip concealer: instead, blend muted brown and mauve shadows to create the most elegant dark circles ever. On the cheeks, skip blush: just a light, cool contour to hollow out the cheeks, and a touch of highlighter on the cheekbones, tip of the nose, and cupid’s bow, mimicking that slight runway sweat. Lips should look faded, but intentionally: dab your favorite lipstick and lightly tap some concealer on top. Finish with hair pulled back but slightly messy, a vacant gaze, and an outfit screaming front-row chic.

Tumblr girl

Even Kylie Jenner has noticed it: the Tumblr era is back. And I’m sure you still have remnants in your wardrobe: band tees or alien prints, skater skirts, denim jackets, and a pair of Dr. Martens or creepers. For the makeup, just pick a photo of yourself from 2014–2016 and copy it: super matte skin, well-defined brows, and thick, elongated black eyeliner. On the cheeks, a bold contour (lightly blended, of course, for irony), and on the lips a slightly smudged dark matte lipstick, because who actually managed to wear it perfectly at 15? Messy hair in two fishtail braids or a messy bun, ideally with temporary color spray, and you’re ready to revive your sad girl side, proudly rocking your headphones.

Office siren (literally)

You know the office siren trend? Why not taking it literally? Luminous and pearly base to mimic scales and that sleek, wet effect (no carnival, thanks), magnetic eyes maybe with colored contacts and shadows in sea-inspired tones like green and blue, lifted with a thin eyeliner. Lips can be coral or nude, your call. Outfit? Obviously office-appropriate.

Julia Fox

Julia Fox is now a true icon: she’s worn so many looks it’s hard to pick just one. But the perfect Halloween pick? The meme-worthy look from the 2022 Oscars after-party. Think black eyeliner, not thin, thicker, that line you try to replicate every morning, exaggerating and failing to match both eyes. Julia Fox turned it into a simple but iconic look, perfect for a hassle-free Halloween. Finish with a touch of blush, a pink lipstick, a long braid, a long black dress, and paint your right hand black to replicate the necklace she wore.

"I never wear sunscreen"

This Halloween makeup is every skingirl’s nightmare: all the sun effects condensed into one look. Slightly orange-toned base from bronzer or leftover summer foundation for that ’80s tan effect. Natural eyes with a touch of mascara, nude or lightly orange lips, and the killer detail: strategically placed blush, deliberately obvious, like someone who fell asleep in the sun. Make the white silhouette of sunglasses using a light concealer. Loose hair with beach waves and a light summer outfit, and the look is done.
