Tengrinews.kz - With Halloween just around the corner, Tengrinews has gathered a selection of vibrant and original makeup ideas to help you create a unique look for the spookiest holiday of the year.

What is Halloween?

Halloween is a global holiday celebrated annually on October 31. Its roots trace back to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, where people believed that the boundary between the world of the living and the spirits would thin, allowing ghosts to return to Earth. The name "Halloween" comes from "All Hallows' Eve", the night before All Saints' Day, celebrated on November 1.

Today, Halloween is associated with dressing up in costumes, creating spooky or playful looks, decorating homes with carved pumpkins ("Jack-o'-lanterns"), and hosting themed parties. Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, setting up creative decorations, and experimenting with makeup to transform an ordinary evening into something memorable and magical.

Creative makeup ideas for Halloween 2024

In preparation for Halloween, beauty bloggers have shared a range of fun and creative makeup ideas, letting you transform into everything from cute and whimsical characters to dark and mysterious figures.
