Whether you need a quick and easy style to ramp up your festive side for school drop-off or you want a great day-to-evening glow-up, these hair, makeup, and nail styles are easy to manage for any level of Halloween enthusiast.
Fierce Feline
The great thing about this style is that you can add your own flair to it with natural texture or a smooth blowout.
Step 1: For natural texture, we suggest prepping with an air-dry creme to enhance your curls and allow for easy manageability. Smooth finishes should always prep with heat protectant before blow drying or using hot tools.
Step 2: Create a strong middle part. Smooth styles should be combed through with a finishing brush. Natural texture can use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to separate.
Step 3: Pull hair up into two high ponytails.
Step 4: Smooth styles should twist the hair while wrapping it around to create a knotted bun-like effect. Natural textures can loosely wrap the hair so coils, curls, or waves still shine through.
Step 5: Secure with either another hair tie or bobby pins based on your hair length and texture type. Then finish with a flexible hairspray or shine spray to keep flyaways under control.

Wednesday-Inspired Makeup
While channeling your inner Wednesday seems a little on the nose for Halloween makeup, Jenna Ortega has set enough trends this season that we know we’ll be seeing Wednesday-inspired makeup everywhere come October 31. The best part about it is that if you can do a simple 3-strand braid and have black liner and red lipstick in your beauty cabinet — your look is all set! We love the combination of the classic smoky eye (the smudgier, the better) and a vampy red lip.
