October is here, which means Halloween is right around the corner. While we do have almost the entire month to prepare for the big day (or night), it’s important to be ready to slay for whatever party or parade you’re going to. For those who aren’t too into dressing up, don’t worry sis, we got you with some great makeup ideas for Halloween — none of which include skeleton makeup because let’s be real, it’s 2018.

We scoured Instagram in search of #halloweenmakeupideas and found some goodies. Keep scrolling to check out some of our favorite looks for this year.

Recreate the mod look that put Twiggy on the map.

View this post on Instagram

Who would’ve thought that this little Puerto Rican girl from New York would end up partnering with one of the largest companies in the beauty industry @covergirl !!!!!!!! 🙏🏽 Me, Kay-Lani Martinez-Hernandez will be the face of the OCTOBER MAILER FOR COVERGIRL!!!! I never thought a face like mine would ever be used for something like this. I never thought I had the “look” for this industry. But I’m so blessed to be a face that women can see and relate to. I’m not a model or a professional at this. I’m an artist, I’m a mother & most importantly I’m a woman with imperfections! Imperfections that such a large company chose to embrace instead of ignore. 🙏🏽❤️ SWIPE OVER TO SEE SOME LOOKS I CREATED FOR THIS SPECIAL PROJECT!! ➡️➡️ Which one is your favorite look?? 👀 (Click link in bio to watch a tutorial on the 3rd look) 😊
