Euphoria-Inspired Makeup Ideas For Halloween This Year

The lewk: Starry Night

Not everyone has the time, dexterity, or fortitude to glue tiny crystals all around their eyes. For the rest of us, there is glittery eyeliner, which makeup artist Erin Parsons applied with complete abandon at the Jean Paul Gaultier show. She chose black and green camo, and applied them from the inner corners, across the lids, and straight out to the temples.

The lewk: Killing Me Softly

Not everything Rue and Jules do is over the top, ok? Sometimes a girl just likes a little soft wash of purple and seafoam shadow, and the cover of a black cloak (or hoodie, depending on your vibe). That's exactly what makeup artists did at the spring 2020 Balmain show.

The lewk: Between The Lines

Ugh, isn't it satisfying when something gorgeous also doesn't look that impossible. A few strikes of thick and carefully drawn black liner are set off with artfully placed black gems for a sleek and sophisticated statement.

The lewk: Eye Patch

Leave it to the avant-garde makeup artist mastermind Isamaya Ffrench, who decided to painstakingly glue handfuls of crushed crystals around the models eye at Halpern. (Here's a satisfying ASMR video of Ffrench pounding the rocks to smithereens.) You could probably get a very similar effect with gems or jewels. And don't be afraid of glueing right up and over your brows. (It washes off readily when the night is over.)

The lewk: Spider

At Marc Jacobs, the inimitable Pat McGrath led a team of talented artists who created 60 (yeah, 6-0) different makeup looks unique to each model. The official inspo was amplifying this idea of individual "characters," which feels very Halloween-y. Try tacking on larger-than-life, spidery extensions for a spooky yet chic look.

The lewk: Cloud Fairy

We've already discussed how McGrath, who also created looks backstage at Anna Sui, repurposed lipstick as eyeshadow to get this bold fuschia finish. Pure genius. In Euphoria, Jules is often seen wearing shapes, like dainty clouds, on her eyes. For the same dreamy vibe, use a super-thin makeup brush to replicate these precise, cloud-like strokes.

The lewk: '70s Rock 'n Roll Queen

When you think of '70s rock 'n roll, remember Black women. That was the powerful message at Pyer Moss. The breathtaking beauty looks represented women of color had in that era with crystallized eyes courtesy of Swarovski and elongated blush created with Uoma Beauty products. I'll happily dress up as a '70s rock 'n roll Queen every day if I could.

The lewk: Yellow Butterfly

If you're a fan of Euphoria, you know that vivd bright eyeshadow shades, often worn by Kat, Jules, and Maddy, as well as crisp graphic lines are regularly seen on the show. This exact vibe was also spotted at Anna Sui with sunny eyeshadow and intergalactic graphic lines. Wear the same shade for Halloween, but jazz it up a bit by popping a tiny circle sticker on the bottom center of your lids to complete the look.

The lewk: Drama Queen

Glitter encrusted eyes are everywhere on Euphoria, and was another fab look at Marc Jacobs. This entire eye is such a Halloween mood. For spooky season, pair spidery lashes with crystals carefully paced within each lash for added drama.

The lewk: Neon Firecracker

Jules has a thing for two-toned eyeshadow, and this neon color combo was executed flawlessly at Nicole Miller. This is a fire halloween makeup look for minimalists that doesn't require a million hours in front of the mirror. Tip: use eyeshadow blending brushes so that each color will meld together beautifully like this.

The lewk: Glitter Clown

Remember that dramatic scene showing off Rue's (a.k.a. Zendaya) glitter tears? Well, there's enough glitter tears to go around! Marc Jacobs paired these gorgeous tear drops with an inky, smudged cat eye. If you're into the sad clown look, smear glitter down your face in a triangle shape to recreate the look.

The lewk: Painterly Princess

Technicolor makeup and a mosaic of watercolors is a Jules-approved look. Maybelline global makeup artist Erin Parsons called this masterpiece of an eye a "painterly" look. Warning: this may take a huge chunk of time time, but there's so much beauty in imperfection with this one.

The lewk: Watercolor Mermaid

Makeup artist Romy Soleimani was responsible for this Picasso-esque pastel eye. It's another Halloween makeup option for minimalists if color speaks to you more than glitter. Paint your eye with splotches of color to create this look.

The lewk: Disco Queen

As you can tell, Marc Jacobs was not short of high-impact makeup looks for the maximalist. These rhinestone brows, for example, might be my favorite look of them all. Paired with green shadow, this dazzling look is definitely not an easy one to pull off yourself, but I have faith in you. The entire Euphoria cast would wear this look in a heartbeat.

According to Refinery29, the same Face Lace eye appliqués used in an episode of Euphoria was used on Laurence & Chico's runway. This means you can buy them, too, and look runway-ready.

The lewk: The Cool Girl

It's no secret that Jules loves bold bursts of color in interesting shapes when it comes to her makeup. Chromat overdelivered this season with products from Mac Cosmetics with the help of lead makeup artist Fatima. Try an extended eyeshadow with royal blue or highlighter yellow for an Instagrammable moment this Halloween.
