Vampire Makeup Ideas – Vampire makeup is all about creating a dramatic, eerie look with a blend of pale, flawless skin, dark eyes, and blood-red accents. To start, achieve a pale complexion by using a light foundation or white face paint to create an otherworldly, deathly appearance. Next, contour your face with darker shades to emphasize sharp cheekbones, giving your face a more angular, sinister look.
For the eyes, opt for smoky dark eyeshadow in deep blacks or purples, and accentuate with heavy eyeliner and dramatic false lashes for a piercing, hypnotic stare. Add a touch of blood-red lipstick or lip gloss to simulate blood, applying it both on the lips and subtly around the corners for a more authentic, dangerous look.
Don’t forget to enhance your look with fake fangs and perhaps some fake blood to complete the transformation. You can also go for special effects makeup, like creating a sunken, hollow look for a more macabre vibe.

How to do Vampire Makeup
Here is a detailed step-by-step guide on how to create vampire makeup:
1. Prep Your Skin:
- Cleanse: Begin with a clean face by washing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any dirt or oil.
- Moisturize: Apply a hydrating moisturizer to ensure your skin stays smooth throughout the makeup application.
- Prime: Use a primer to create a smooth canvas for your makeup and help it last longer.
2. Base Makeup:
- Foundation: Apply a pale foundation or a lighter shade of your regular foundation to create a deathly pale complexion. You can also mix white face paint with your foundation for an even paler effect.
- Concealer: Use a concealer to cover any blemishes or dark circles under your eyes.
- Powder: Set your foundation with translucent powder to ensure it stays in place and to give your skin a matte finish.
3. Contouring for a Hollow Look:
- Contour: Use a dark contour powder or cream along the hollows of your cheeks, under your cheekbones, around your jawline, and on the temples to create a more gaunt, skeletal appearance.
- Highlighting: Apply a subtle highlighter to the high points of your face, such as your forehead, the bridge of your nose, the tops of your cheekbones, and your cupid’s bow, to add dimension.
4. Eyes:
- Eyeshadow: Start with a smoky eye look using dark shades like black, deep purple, or red. Apply the shadow to your eyelids and blend it out toward the crease.
- Winged Liner: Create dramatic, thick winged eyeliner to give your eyes a more intense, sinister look. You can also extend the liner slightly toward the inner corner of your eye for a more gothic effect.
- Red Contacts (optional): If you want to take your vampire look to the next level, consider wearing red or white vampire contact lenses to make your eyes look more haunting and supernatural.
- Mascara and False Lashes: Apply a generous amount of black mascara, and add false lashes for extra drama.
5. Brows:
- Bold Brows: Vampires often have bold, defined brows. Use a brow pencil or pomade to darken and shape your eyebrows. Make them look sharper and more angular for a more intense appearance.
6. Blood and Fangs:
- Fangs: You can either use vampire fangs that you attach to your natural teeth or apply fangs with fake adhesive (you can buy these at costume stores). If you’re using adhesive fangs, ensure they are properly secured and comfortable.
- Fake Blood: Apply fake blood around your mouth, dripping down from the corners of your lips to mimic blood dripping from your fangs. Use a small brush or a cotton swab to carefully place the blood around your lips and chin.
- Lip Color: Use a dark red, burgundy, or black lipstick to create a dramatic lip. For a more blood-dripping effect, you can apply red lip liner along the lip line and lightly smudge it outward, then add fake blood for extra gore.
7. Finishing Touches:
- Extra Blood (optional): For a more gory look, you can add additional fake blood on your neck, chest, or hands, simulating a recent feeding. Be sure to blend it well so it looks natural.
- Setting Spray: Set your makeup with a long-lasting setting spray to ensure everything stays in place throughout the night.
Additional Tips:
- For a gothic look, you can add black eyeliner to your waterline, or use dark red eyeshadow along your lower lash line for a more dramatic effect.
- Face Paint: If you prefer an even paler appearance, you can use white face paint to lighten your complexion further.
- Vampire Accessories: Consider adding accessories like a blood-stained scarf or necklace, or even a cape to complete the vampire ensemble.
This step-by-step guide will help you achieve a terrifying and dramatic vampire makeup look, perfect for Halloween or any other spooky event.
