Halloween makeup is easily one of the most creative, innovative ways to play with cosmetics. Whether it's zombie makeup or vampire fangs, the options are endless thanks to the multitude of talented makeup artists on YouTube. Sometimes though, you want to be more glam than gore so these pretty Halloween makeup ideas are going to be perfect for the person who isn't wanting to break out the liquid latex during the holiday.

While makeup may be an everyday occurrence for some — ahem, me — it's not until Halloween that cosmetics become something that everyone is interested in. Whether people are searching for a specific way to achieve the perfect Walking Dead zombie look or going for the sexy vampire costume, makeup is integral to achieving the prize wedding costume at your Halloween party. Plus, there's a huge variety when it comes to the looks you can try out. Obviously, there are some really intense looks out there for the cosmetics pro, but there are equally as many easy, totally attainable options for the novice. While Halloween may conjure ideas of gore-ridden monsters and terrifying ghosts, there are tons of pretty Halloween makeup looks for when you're trying to be more glam than scary.
