Witch Makeup
Witch beauty has changed time and again over the years and it continues to change. But one things for sure, there are a few iconic looks that define pop culture witch style and how we'll put together our witch costumes for Halloween or any dress-up event. However, with your costume, hat, and broom or wand chosen, there's one more thing to consider: makeup!
Will you embrace one of the most recognizable witch images of the Wicked Witch of the West, Elphaba? Or will you lean into the sparkle of your Good Witch counterpart, Glinda? Is a pop culture moment like The Craft or The Addams Family calling your attention? Perhaps you're letting everyday style influence a witch style that's ready to blend in with their surroundings—a practical magic indeed! Either way, this collection of witch makeup can help!
For that familiar Elphaba slant, green makeup is the essential. Decide if you'll go full-body or face and exposed skin only. Then pick up the face paint, body paint, or makeup palette that features all that green and a couple defining extras. A black makeup crayon and varying shades of green are sure to help give the all-over color more depth without interfering with the goal.
Speaking of makeup palettes, our exclusive Wicked Witch and available Mehron makeup kits offer both beginners and expert makeup users an easy way to bring their character and ideas together! Meanwhile, separately sold grease paint, makeup creams, and inky lipsticks are sure to inspire a look to rival a gothic 90s teen witch or the queen of goths Morticia.
Consider some special effects to take the magic to another level. A prosthetic nose ensures a Wicked Witch costume isn't just green, but warty and crooked as the original depiction. Creepy-crawly bug tattoos play on the darker side of witchcraft ideas and only get spookier when paired with red makeups and cracking makeup stencil designs and pointed press-on nails.
Going the opposite of spooky? Iridescent face stickers, self-adhesive jewels, and glitter makeups lean to ethereal stylings with little effort. Swipe a little glitter on cheek bones, press faux gems into strategic spots, and let your design take on a fairytale vibe that's just as powerful as the hunched and ancient hags so many imagine as the only witches.

Luckily, more glitter, body paint, makeup kits, stencils, makeup jewels, and tattoos exist in their own catalogs and are ready for your exploration. Shop each store for the ingredients your sure will make your witch costume the most spellbinding!
