Idina Menzel established that you can wear full witch makeup and look chic the first time she stepped on stage dressed as Elphaba—green face paint and contoured cheekbones included. It's a look you can pull off this Halloween, too, even if you don't have a team of Broadway-ready makeup artists at your disposal. Below, nine witchy makeup looks perfect for Halloween, whether you're the type to spring for full-on body paint or would rather pop on some glitter and call it a night.

Totally Wicked

Nobody pulls off equally dramatic and gorgeous makeup transformations like Patrick Starrr. This Wicked-inspired green makeup look is actually pretty easy to follow with the right tools. At the very least, it's an excuse to rock a stunning green lip look.

Gorgeous in Green

Wicked Witch of the West, but make it fashion. This tutorial features a masterful cut crease, a sultry red lip, and a pop of yellow at the lower-lash line to balance out all the green with a dose of glamour.

Smoky Eyes

This quick (and relatively easy) makeup look focuses on witch-inspired shades, like slime green and pitch black. Since hey, there's never been a better time to bust out the black lipstick.

Disney Villain

Angelina Jolie's take on Maleficent is another win for the high-cheekboned sorceress category. And according to the products used for this look, you don't need the break the bank to nail the dramatic contour.

5

Cute Cobweb

Still consider yourself a makeup newbie? Try out this lower-key Halloween look, which uses a carefully drawn blue cobweb in place of a cat-eye.

6

Stencil Webs

Or, stencil the spider web right onto your cheek. Thanks to the use of negative space, the highlight still looks on point—and that saturated smoky eye is perfection.

Vampire Eyes

Vampire, demon, witch—whatever sort of chaotic spirit you're going with, this gorgeous black-and-red Halloween look from Ellarie will complement your costume. (And, you know, look really good, too.)

8

Orange Glam

Okay, okay, we get it, black lipstick isn't for everyone. This orange and red look is ideal if you prefer an elevated version of everyday glam for Halloween; and it works so well with any green wigs you happen to have on hand.

Sweet Not Scary

Are you a good witch or a bad witch? If you answered yes to the former, take a page from Mei Yan's book. This makeup look is super sweet, with a mix of drawn-on freckles and glitter that give it that Halloween magic.
