Halloween is the perfect occasion to transform into a favourite character from the big screen. From gothic heroines to sinister villains, movie-inspired costumes offer plenty of creative possibilities for makeup enthusiasts. The right colours, dramatic eyes and signature details can make a look instantly recognisable without requiring a professional makeup artist. Whether you love the dark charm of Wednesday Addams, the haunting appeal of Maleficent or the bold colours of Harley Quinn, there is a character to match every style.

Here are 7 Halloween makeup looks, inspired by your favourite movie characters:

Wednesday Addams: Create Wednesday’s signature look with pale foundation, smoky eyeshadow and dark lips in a plum or black shade
Harley Quinn: Recreate Harley Quinn’s playful, rebellious look with red and blue eyeshadow blended around the eyes, slightly smudged eyeliner and bright red lipstick
The Joker : For the Joker’s unsettling appearance, apply a pale base, messy black eye makeup and deep red lipstick extended into a rough, exaggerated smile
Maleficent: Bring Maleficent’s dark elegance to life with sharply contoured cheekbones, dramatic winged eyeliner and deep red lipstick
Pennywise: Create Pennywise’s terrifying look with a white face base, red lines extending from the lips to the forehead, and darkened eyes for an eerie effect
Beetlejuice: Achieve Beetlejuice’s eccentric look with a greyish-white base, dark circles around the eyes and smudged purple or green accents
Cruella de Vil: Channel Cruella’s bold fashion-villain energy with dramatic black eyeliner, sculpted cheekbones and vivid red lipstick
