2. Light Skeleton Makeup

Unlike most skeleton looks, this one is done with heavy contouring in (super)natural shades for a softer look. This one is a great option that can be very forgiving of mistakes rather than a black and white skeletal face option.

3. The Big Reveal: Melted-Face Halloween Makeup

This is such a creative Halloween makeup idea that requires a dedication to detail. The flawless eyeliner is the best part paired with that brow, but the facade has melted off the majority of her face, revealing an immaculately painted skull with stunning shading for depth and dimension.
