Halloween is a wonderful reminder of how strange and wonderful our imaginations can be. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned when it comes to Halloween costumes, it’s to let the makeup take center stage.
Whether you lean toward camp, romance, or nostalgia, we’ve rounded up our favorite celebrity beauty looks—from Janhvi Kapoor and Morticia Addams to Sonam Kapoor as Marilyn Monroe—that prove that transformation doesn’t always need a full costume. Just a makeup session to feel good and a little imagination.
With Harley Quinn’s signature red and blue pigtails, smudged eye makeup, and a terribly charming red lip, Katrina Kaif’s portrayal of the character was equal parts chaos and genius. The black kohl detail added to the Halloween spirit, while keeping the overall look fun. For 2025, we would do a bright red lip and add a touch of glitter eyeliner for more fun.
In a parallel universe, Morticia Addams and Janhvi Kapoor are soul sisters. Smokey lids, sculpted lashes and oxblood lips on clean, simple skin combine into a moody, yet powerfully elegant look. The center part and feathered eyebrows are a nod to Morticia’s raw but gentle strength. It’s the perfect beauty inspiration if you want to lean into dark romance without the clichés.
