There are so many ways to do clown makeup, so why not put your own spin on it? Christen Dominique, founder of Dominique Cosmetics, combined a minimialist clown look with a 90s gangster aesthetic (from the teardrop tattoo, right down to the plaid shirt). Use an intense black eyeliner like theBalm Schwing Black Liquid Eyeliner, $17, to draw in the marks on the eye area — and make sure to top it off with some brown lip liner.

Create a different Halloween makeup look this season with this alien-inspired makeup by Jasmine Brown. This is perfect for those with super curly hair, as you can style it up like a mohawk with cute braid pigtails like Jasmine herself. Use a neon eyeshadow palette like NYX Ultimate Multi-Finish Shadow Palette in Electric, $18, to get the full spectrum of color, and highlight your eyes and cheekbones using greens and purples for that galaxy look.
