16 Creative Barbie Makeup Ideas For Halloween 2023 That Are So Glam

The summer of 2023 was basically defined by the highly-anticipated, instant classic Barbie movie starring none other than Margot Robbie (who is basically a Barbie girl IRL). Leading up to the star-studded film and long after its theater release, all things Barbiecore — from hot pink manicures to permanent tattoos that nod to the film — have been at an all time high.

With Halloween just around the corner, it makes all the sense in the world that Barbie-inspired costumes are sure to reign. And while some may assume that means every costume will look the same, that couldn’t be farther from the truth.

Just like in the film, every Barbie had her own identity. While Robbie’s character was named “stereotypical Barbie,” with outfits that ranged from disco dancer to a vibrant pink cowgirl, there were also distinct characters like mermaid Barbie, president Barbie, writer Barbie, weird Barbie...you get the idea.

For those who want to doll up their own personal identities, there are endless ideas for spooky season. Below, find the most unique Barbie-inspired makeup ideas for Halloween 2023, from a simple look that’s Margot Robbie-approved to more out-there glam moments that match even the boldest of aesthetics.
