It's the time for creepy pumpkins, trick-o-treats and spooky go-as-you-like-it parties. The popularity of Halloween and its celebration has gained momentum in India lately — all thanks to TV shows, movies and social media! So, if you are attending one such happening party tonight or you simply just want to dress up for Instagram, check out a few looks My Kolkata has curated to inspire you.

Itsy spooky spider

Spidey face art is trending this Halloween. Simple yet spooky, you can do it yourself with your regular cosmetics. This effortless look can be sported with any dark-coloured party wear — preferably brown or black. To elevate the look, you can use white or grey wool thread all over your body to replicate spider webs. However, the makeup here is the highlight. Check out this tutorial.

Eerie Joker

The wicked smile of the Joker is very eerie. The Joker look is another Halloween trend that can be re-created using minimal makeup at home. Once again, the face here is the focus and will not require any additional effort for the outfit. The wide, creepy smile with dark eyes pierces into the soul to send a chill down your spine.

Easy devil look

If you need a quick Halloween makeover, this look might be a saviour. @akankshakommirelly creates a devil look with a simple makeup, a red dress, and a pair of devil’s horns and high heels. If you want to look eerily pretty and bold, this might be your pick. Get a step-by-step guide from the tutorial in two reels by Akanksha Kommirelly.

Chucky and Tiffany wicked looks

Willing to put some effort into your look? Dikshita Jindal (@stuck.in.a.paradise) has created complete Chucky and Tiffany looks. The looks are realistic and done wholly with makeup. Dikshita transforms, step by step, into the wicked, vicious Chucky and Tiffany. If you are an artist and well-versed in makeup, you can recreate the look too.

Poison Ivy poise

Not a fan of gory or horror? No worries! You can keep it sober yet stylish for Halloween. Go dressed as a Poison Ivy. All you need is a green outfit and an artificial creeper plant. Use green eyeshadow and red lips and let your hair do the talking for your character. Here’s a tutorial for the hairstyle.

Easy-peasy costumes from the closet

Want to make do with whatever you have for an outfit for Halloween? You surely can! Some looks do not need fancy costumes, rather they can be re-created using regular clothes. You can sport a pirate, vampire, witch or fairy look from dresses, tops, gowns, shirts, blazers you already have! Check out these looks by @nympheasalmon.

Halloween nail art

Add the boo factor to your Halloween look with some scary nails! Get your claws painted with Halloween-themed nail art. You can either match your nails with your look or go independent with an OTT art.

Deathly eyes

Need your eyes to do the talking? Pair your bold eye makeup with a spooky lens. White and grey lenses give that perfect ghostly, dead eyes that can even freak you out when you glance in the mirror. You can use some stones in your eye makeup to make it more illustrious.
