Going to a Halloween party soon but don’t have enough time to plan out a costume? Here are 7 Halloween costumes that you can make using only the stage makeup you already own!

1. Creepy Clown



Don’t worry if you don’t have any purple or pink — use blue, green, red, orange, whatever you have to make it your own!

2. Deer



Big Harry Potter fan? If you try this look using blue or white instead of brown then you’ve turned yourself into Harry Potter’s patronus.

3. Creepy Doll



Try adding some cracks and blood to make it even creepier!

4. Galaxy



Why not try mapping your zodiac sign on your cheeks and eyes for an even more detailed look?

5. Dripping Skull



This tutorial is absolutely perfect if you have extra latex left over from your last show!

6. Vampire



Everyone wants to be the Queen of the Night — pair this with a black dress and a goblet of blood and you’re it.
