Boo! 👻 The spookiest (and most stylish) time of year is creeping up fast, and 2024 is set to bring some fang-tastic beauty trends that are to die for. Whether you’re getting ready for a killer party, a work costume competition, or just want to embrace your inner glam-ghoul, we’ve got the hottest Halloween looks for you.
Ready to trick or treat yourself? Let’s dive into the spooky beauty trends taking over this year. Don’t worry—we’ll keep the chills limited to your style, not your skin.
Vampy velvet lips
Is it even Halloween without a blood-red lip? This year, vampy velvet lips are taking centre stage, but with a twist. Picture deep, velvety hues that range from oxblood to gothic purples, all with a creamy matte finish. These shades scream “glam vampire,” but without all the garlic allergies. 🧛♀️
Tip: Pair your vampy lips with a soft eye look to let your pout do all the talking… or, well, biting.
Barbiecore pink
Barbie fever is still alive and thriving, and this year’s Halloween will be no exception! Channel your inner Barbie with bubblegum pink lips, rosy cheeks, and even neon pink eyeshadow. This trend is all about embracing the fun, over-the-top glamour of Barbiecore, while adding a playful Halloween twist. Think glitzy accessories, high-gloss lips, and all the pink you can handle.
Tip: A full-glam Barbie look deserves flawless execution, so why not book a professional makeup artist through Blys to get you perfectly polished from head to toe?
Monster-inspired nail art
Why should your face have all the fun? Nail art is getting a monstrous makeover this year. Expect to see creepy-cute designs like tiny Frankenstein stitches, Dracula fangs, and cobweb accents. And for those who prefer a sleek look, matte black nails with a single metallic accent are how you can keep it spooky and sophisticated.
Tip: A professional nail artist can help you get those fine details just right—no need for a shaky hand trying to paint a perfect bat wing. Lucky for you, we have amazing nail techs on our platform you can book an appointment with.
Crystal embellished everything
Why be basic when you can be bedazzled? Crystals are the ultimate way to level up your Halloween look in 2024. From tiny rhinestone details on your eyeliner to fully embellished eyebrows, this trend brings major sparkle to the spooky season. It’s all about adding a bit of glitz to your ghostliness.
Tip: Use a strong lash glue to secure your crystals for a long-lasting shimmer that stays put no matter how much candy you collect.
Pumpkin spice glow
Yes, pumpkin spice isn’t just for your latte. This year, it’s making its way into beauty trends too! Warm, glowing orange tones are in for those who want to subtly celebrate Halloween without going full costume mode. Think bronzed cheeks, pumpkin-hued eyeshadow, and a touch of gold highlighter for a gourd-geous glow.
Tip: This look is perfect for daytime events or low-key Halloween celebrations when you still want to get into the spooky spirit without the spooks.
Spiderweb eyeliner
For the eyeliner enthusiasts out there, this trend will get you tangled up in all the right ways. Spiderweb eyeliner is a precise, artistic trend where your classic cat-eye flick gets an eerie upgrade with intricate webbing. It’s detailed, it’s dramatic, and it’s 100% Halloween.
Tip: If you’re not confident drawing webs freehand, ask a makeup artist on Blys to weave the magic for you.
Ethereal fairy fantasy
Not into spooky? No problem. The Ethereal Fairy Fantasy trend is all about soft, glowing beauty that gives off magical vibes. Picture pastel shades, glowing skin, and lots of sparkle. With glittery eyeshadow, shimmering highlighter, and soft, flowing hair, you’ll look like you’ve just stepped out of an enchanted forest.This look is perfect for those who want something whimsical and light for Halloween while still keeping it mystical.
Tip: Add some delicate body glitter or metallic accents to elevate your fairy-like glow.
Bloody ombre hair
Not for the faint-hearted, this daring Halloween trend blends rich reds with deep blacks for a hair look that’s as bold as it is bloody. Ombre is here to stay, but this time, it’s taking a gory turn—perfect for a vampire queen or anyone wanting to leave a lasting impression.
Tip: This look requires a bit of maintenance, so book a hair stylist through Blys to nail the perfect ombre fade without the mess of DIY hair dye disasters.
Neon skeleton contouring
This year’s skeletons aren’t hiding in the closet—they’re glowing neon! Neon contouring is one of the coolest trends to try if you’re going all-out. Think about using bright neon pinks, blues, and greens to contour your face and create that edgy skeletal structure. Whether you’re going for an under-the-blacklight glow or just want to stand out in the crowd, this is how you make your bones pop.
Tip: Choose neon face paints or makeup that’s UV-reactive to take the glow to the next level at your Halloween party. You can even suggest this to your makeup artist before your appointment.
Witchy green eyeshadow
Feeling like channelling your inner Wicked Witch of the West? 2024’s witchy green eyeshadow trend has you covered. From bright lime green to rich emerald tones, this trend casts a spell with bold, bewitching colours. Pair your green eyeshadow with a dark lip or keep it fresh with glossy nude lips—the choice is yours, witch!
Tip: For a striking, long-lasting look, try using a cream or gel-based green eyeshadow, and finish with a setting spray for maximum spellbinding wear.
Dark siren waves
Who says mermaids can’t come out to play on Halloween? Dark, luscious siren waves are a hair trend rising from the depths of the sea this year. Picture long, glossy, wet-look waves with a mysterious dark tint—ideal for a seductive, sea-bound siren or a glamorous villain.
Tip: Get the look without the hassle by booking an expert hair stylist through Blys for a professional blowout and waves that last all night (and day, if your Halloween after-party gets wild).
Holographic alien glam
Out-of-this-world beauty is in this Halloween, and holographic makeup is the perfect trend for anyone looking to channel their inner extraterrestrial. Think shimmering, iridescent highlighter, metallic green and silver eyeshadow, and glossy lips that shift in colour depending on the light. This look is all about embracing the futuristic vibes of space while keeping your look chic and otherworldly.
Tip: Use holographic makeup palettes to create that light-reflecting effect and pair with metallic accessories for a complete space-age look.
90s grunge revival
It’s time to revisit the ‘90s with a Grunge Revival for Halloween 2024. Smudged eyeliner, matte lips in deep plum or brown, and tousled, messy hair will give you that iconic ‘90s rebellious vibe. Pair this makeup with a flannel shirt and boots, and you’re ready to rock!
Tip: Bonus points for pairing it with some chunky accessories and silver jewellery.
Fierce feline
Purr-fect your Halloween style with fierce feline makeup! A classic cat-eye is a must, but why not take it up a notch with some feline-inspired face paint? Think whiskers, little nose accents, and sparkling cat ears for an adorable yet fierce look.
Tip: Pair your feline face with a sleek outfit and some fabulous cat-eye sunglasses for a funky twist.
