17. The Gothic Black Widow
Spiders are a staple of Halloween, and the Gothic Black Widow makeup look is a sleek, dangerous, and incredibly elegant way to wear this theme. This look focuses on sharp contrasts and delicate, hand-painted details. Start with a very pale, matte complexion and contour your face with a cool, charcoal-toned powder to create a stark, ghostly appearance. For the eyes, create a sharp, dramatic cat-eye using a waterproof black liquid liner.
The star of this look is the intricate spiderweb design. Using a fine-tipped black liquid eyeliner, paint a delicate, detailed spiderweb radiating outward from one of your eyes, draping down your cheekbone or reaching up toward your temple. You can also paint a small, realistic black widow spider hanging from a single thread near your jawline. Finish the look with a high-gloss, deep black lipstick or a dark ombre lip, and wear a black lace veil for an extra touch of gothic mystery.
