Weird girl Halloween make-up ideas From the creature from the black lagoon to guillotined Marie Antoinette, the choice is yours

October is here, and with it comes the favourite time of year for every girl who grew up on Tumblr: Halloween. The most committed ones have probably had their costumes ready since the beginning of August, but for those who like to take things a little slower, this is the right time to start gathering some ideas. Forget the usual witch, vampire or cat makeup and push things a little further. If the idea of a makeup look that is simply pretty isn’t enough, we already have a few solutions.

Weird girl Halloween make-up ideas 2026

The Lagoon Monster

Our lagoon monster isn’t your usual greenish creature, absolutely not. We’re talking about a monster who constantly refreshes her Pinterest homepage looking for the most niche microtrend out there. Start with a pale, almost white base, then create pinkish scales by simply placing a fishnet stocking over your face and applying eyeshadow on top. Mascara and lipstick, obviously matching, to complete the makeup. As a final touch, add a nice side part held in place with a little hair clip.

White Rabbit

For the White Rabbit, quite appropriately, start with a completely white base and a pair of red contact lenses, which already do most of the work, framed with liner in the same colour. Continue with a dusting of candy-pink blush on the cheeks to add a sweet, innocent touch to an otherwise rather unsettling look, while on the lips, a light layer of pink lip gloss is enough. To finish the look completely, add a platinum blonde wig.

Rihanna x Paper Magazine

For those who want to have a little fun with their hair, we suggest Rihanna in her punkest version. Liberty spikes with green tips, black lipstick or clear lip gloss, depending on which photo you use as inspo, a fake piercing on the right eyebrow and gold and black eyeshadow extended towards the outer corners. To complete the look, long, jet-black nails.

Bird of Ill Omen

Here too, we’re embracing a trend that is everywhere right now: feathers, this time to create a full-blown bird of ill omen. There’s no specific species to recreate: choose your bird based on the feathers you can find. Purple, green and grey for a pigeon, white and brown for an owl, black for a crow. Basically, you do you. You can work them into your eye makeup, place them in your hair, around your face or use them as false eyelashes. The only rule is that they need to be clearly visible.

Marie Antoinette Right After the Guillotine

Finally, a classic: Marie Antoinette. An extremely pale base, pink blush placed high on the cheeks like a true Rococo woman, and slightly smudged eye makeup with blue eyeshadow and black mascara. On the lips, deliberately imperfect lipstick in a purplish shade and a streak of blood running down the neck. And, of course, you can’t forget the all-important fake beauty mark on the cheekbones. As for the hair, make your life easier with a slightly messy, thrown-together updo: after all, you’ve just been guillotined.
