Witchy makeup is a popular trend in the world of beauty and cosmetics. Inspired by the mystical and magical world of witches, this type of makeup allows individuals to channel their inner enchantress and create a captivating appearance. The key to achieving witchy makeup lies in the details. Dark, smoky eyes are often a central focus, with shades of black, gray, and dark purple being commonly used. Dramatic winged eyeliner is also a prominent feature, helping to create a mysterious and alluring look. Contouring and highlighting play a crucial role in creating a witchy aesthetic.
Wicked Glam Witch Makeup Look
Halloween makeup looks are oh-so-fun because you can get as kooky, dark, and spooky with your color stories and creativity as you want, which was exactly what I did for this October-inspired yet wearable witchy makeup look using the stunning Kaleidos Makeup The Escape Pod Palette.
I even drew on a pair of black eyeliner wings, an element I tend to avoid in my more common beauty routine but without it this look just wouldn’t have felt as wicked. The finished looked also gave off some much appreciated Maleficent vibes as it includes her iconic hues from the animated film.

The use of dark, vampy lip colors, such as deep reds, purples, or even black, enhances the overall witchy vibe.

In terms of brows, a bold and arched shape is favored. This helps to frame the face and adds to the intense and captivating look. Additionally, long, spidery lashes are often favored to add to the witchy allure. Completing the witchy makeup look often involves achieving a pale and ethereal complexion. This can be achieved through the use of foundation or powders that are a shade or two lighter than the individual's natural skin tone. This helps to create a ghostly and otherworldly appearance. It is important to note that witchy makeup is not limited to Halloween or costume parties. Many individuals incorporate elements of this style into their daily makeup routine, adding a hint of mystique to their everyday look. Overall, witchy makeup allows individuals to embrace their inner sorceress and create a bewitching appearance. By incorporating dark, dramatic elements and focusing on bringing out the eyes and cheekbones, anyone can achieve a captivating witchy look. Whether it is for a special occasion or simply to express one's personal style, witchy makeup offers a unique and enchanting way to enhance one's beauty..
Reviews for "Witchy Makeup Looks for Autumn: Embracing the Dark Side"
1. Emily - 2 stars - I was really excited to try out the witchy makeup trend, but I was left disappointed. The products I purchased just didn't have the same quality as my usual makeup brands. The black lipstick was really patchy and didn't last long on my lips. The eyeshadow palette had a great Halloween-inspired color scheme, but the pigmentation was poor and the shades didn't blend well. Overall, I wouldn't recommend witchy makeup if you're looking for high-quality products that perform well.
2. Sarah - 1 star - I found the whole witchy makeup trend to be extremely overhyped. The products were outrageously priced for what you actually get. I bought a black liquid eyeliner that claimed to be long-lasting and smudge-proof, but it smudged within minutes of application. The glitter gel I bought for a witchy vibe ended up being really chunky and uncomfortable on my skin. I regret spending my money on these products and would advise others to steer clear of this trend.
3. Michael - 2 stars - As a guy who occasionally dabbles in makeup, I was intrigued by the witchy makeup trend. However, the products I tried just didn't live up to my expectations. The black lipstick was incredibly drying and made my lips feel uncomfortable throughout the day. The liquid eyeliner was difficult to apply smoothly and smudged easily. I appreciate the concept and creativity behind witchy makeup, but the execution fell short for me. I'll be going back to my regular makeup products that are more reliable and wearable.
4. Jessica - 3 stars - I was excited to experiment with witchy makeup for Halloween, but the experience was a mixed bag. While the dark and dramatic colors were great for creating a spooky look, the products themselves lacked quality. The black eyeshadow was extremely powdery and had a lot of fallout. The liquid lipstick felt drying and didn't have the same smooth application as my regular lip products. If you're looking for a fun and temporary Halloween look, witchy makeup might work for you, but don't expect high-quality products.
5. Alex - 2 stars - I tried a few witchy makeup products and I wasn't too impressed. The quality was lacking, especially in the eyeshadows. The colors looked vibrant in the palettes, but they were sheer and difficult to build up on the lids. The black lipstick I tried was also quite patchy and didn't last long. I was expecting more from this trend, but unfortunately, it fell short for me. I would recommend looking for alternative brands and products if you want a more reliable and high-performance witchy makeup look.
