Try one of these 13 Halloween makeup and hair looks that don’t require a costume. And hair extensions from Amazing Beauty Hair may help to make the hairstyles.

 

1. Oh Deer

Deer oh deer. This look is adorable and is much easier than it may look. If you love your makeup, you likely already have everything you need to achieve this look: foundation, bronzer, highlighter, and a light powder foundation. Look for deer ears online or just put the top of your hair into two space buns on either side of your head.

Follow this step-by-step tutorial to become an adorable deer for Halloween 2020.

 

2. Mystical Mermaid

Mermaid makeup is ethereal, mystical and uses colors in your makeup kit that you probably don’t use often. Fish out your blue, purple, and other aqua makeup colors along with some shimmer and a pair of fish net tights to make the scales. Hot glue some shells onto a headband if you’d like a hair piece.

This video tutorial makes it easy to achieve this look at home.
