9 Grown-Up Halloween Makeup Tutorials That Couldn’t Be Easier

So you’ve scored the perfect costume for this year’s fright night, and now all you need is the finishing touches. But here’s the rub: You only just figured out how to apply highlighter, so creating a full-on zombie face is pretty much out of the question. But that doesn’t mean you have to go bare-faced—these Halloween makeup tutorials require minimal skills but look positively spook-tacular. 

Aka the easiest last-minute Halloween costume ever.  

Bonus points if you carry a toy dragon around with you all night.

Um, if you don’t know who this mad scientist is, then do yourself a favor and get familiar with Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Red wig, gold crown and British accent encouraged.

Just add a dark wig, white shirt and black dress—you’re done.  

A look that goes perfectly with your unicorn toast. (Psst: So over the mythical creature trend? Skip the horn and go as a sparkly, pink fairy instead.)

The perfect excuse to dress up as the superhero you are (and also to wear all the gold jewelry).
