Zombie
Transform yourself into a zombie straight out of The Walking Dead! Use some old clothes that you can tear up and stain with fake blood (or red makeup).
Apply pale makeup, add dark circles under your eyes, and use a bit of bloody makeup to complete the look. This costume only takes a few minutes and gives a terrifying effect without much effort!

The Witch
Whether you’re inspired by the classic film Hocus Pocus by Kenny Ortega or Disney’s Into the Woods with Meryl Streep, the witch is the ultimate Halloween costume!
Throw on an all-black outfit, add a pointy hat (you can buy one or make it with cardboard), and use dark makeup to create dramatic features on your face.
You can also add a broomstick to complete the outfit!

Wednesday Addams
For a quick and easy look, go for Wednesday Addams. All you need is a black dress with a white collar and tight braids.

Skeleton
If you’ve got a bit of skill with makeup, try the skeleton costume. From Jack Skellington in The Nightmare Before Christmas to the characters from Pixar’s Coco, there’s plenty of inspiration to draw from!
Use a black eyeliner or face paint to create sharp, clean lines that mimic the contours of bones on your face.
Wear all-black clothing to complete the look. This Halloween costume is easy to pull off but can be super impressive when done well!

Joker
The Joker is another great choice for a last-minute costume. To recreate Joaquin Phoenix’s look from the movie Joker, you’ll need a few makeup essentials!
Use white face paint for a pale complexion, red lipstick to create the infamous distorted smile and eyebrows, and green hair dye or spray to complete the look.
A purple suit or a green jacket is the perfect finishing touch to embody Gotham’s most iconic villain!
