There's a fairly good chance we'll still need to be wearing face masks on Halloween, but that's OK. There are plenty of ways to incorporate a cloth mask into your costume. After all, wearing one on Halloween isn't anything new, just the reason for wearing one this year is. Instead of doing it solely for aesthetic purposes, wearing a face mask this Halloween will help keep you safe from COVID-19, too.
Many Halloween makeup ideas are already centred around wearing a mask — simply layer a reusable one under the existing part of your costume to protect yourself and others against the virus — and the ones that aren't can easily be adapted to include it. Looking to be a skeleton this Halloween? Wear a skull-printed mask or try drawing your own skull design on a plain white fabric mask. If anything, look at it as an excuse to only have to put makeup on the upper half of your face.
Ahead, we're sharing a few Halloween makeup ideas that can easily be worn with a face mask.
Cat Halloween Makeup With a Face Mask
Make your classic cat Halloween makeup look safe by adding a leopard-print mask. Try the Face Mask Leopard Print Mask (£10) instead of drawing on a cat nose.
Hip Hop-Inspired Halloween Makeup With a Face Mask
The silver rhinestone mask adds a level of glam to this hip hop-inspired Halloween makeup. You can make your own with hot glue and rhinestones from a craft store or try the Bling Face Mask (£9).
Butterfly Halloween Makeup With a Face Mask
The butterfly eye makeup trend is all over Instagram this year and it will no doubt make an appearance on Halloween, as well. You can create this makeup look using bold eyeshadow colours and liquid liner and match the colours to your favourite face mask.
Rainbow Halloween Makeup With a Face Mask
Bright rainbow makeup will always look cute for Halloween. Instead of applying rainbow makeup around your mouth, opt for a rainbow-printed face mask, like this Rainbow Face Mask (£10).
Pumpkin Halloween Makeup With a Face Mask
Plenty of popular pumpkin makeup looks already cover the lower half of your face so it's easy to adapt for this year's festivities. Focusing your makeup application on the upper half of your face and using a face mask on the lower half makes the look even easier to create. If you don't want to draw your own, try the Pumpkin Face Mask (£5.50).
Sleeping Beauty Halloween Makeup With a Face Mask
Put a modern spin on your traditional Disney princess makeup look this Halloween with bold eyeshadow look and matching face mask. This pink makeup and rose-printed cloth mask are reminiscent of Sleeping Beauty.
Pineapple Halloween Makeup With a Face Mask
Creating a cute fruit-themed Halloween costume just got a whole lot easier. By focusing the design on your eyes, it will really make them pop.
Skull Halloween Makeup With a Face Mask
Similar to a pumpkin makeup look, you can easily add a face mask into your skull makeup look for Halloween. Create your own with white and black fabric markers and a plain white face mask or try the Skull Face Mask (£8.50).
