Happy Halloween, everyone! To celebrate the spookiest of holidays, I want to give you a little inspiration for how to wear your beauty look frightfully sexy on Halloween night. I call this a collection of 25 imaginative and romantic beauty looks inspired by the fantastical world of Edward Gorey’s The Nightmare Before Christmas, which was first published in 1970. Rather than toying with elaborate makeup, these daring hair and makeup looks complement the classic, wacky look of Jack Skellington (voiced by Tim Burton in the Disney animated movie). He’s a beautiful, eccentric character, but I think his soft, soft pink cheeks and stained pink lips make him look even prettier. Here are 25 enchanting makeup looks that will make you feel like you’re a fully-realized Jack character.

Chloe Ferry, Love Island 2018

Chloe’s toned physique shows that it’s time to get your hands on some peach lipstick, and she’s the perfect candidate to try it. Wearing the lip color with a brushed back ‘do and a sweeping mauve smokey eye make for an enchanting look.

Khloe Kardashian, Keeping Up With the Kardashians: Sophisticated Seduction

Khloé puts a lot of thought into her beauty look and knows how to recreate the perfect, sophisticated look on the show. Instead of normal makeup, she lets her hair turn it pink-purple in a retro style while she uses a natural beauty palette (OK, maybe that rosy pink is a little too pretty) to show off her gorgeous skin.

Priyanka Chopra, Quantico: Soulful Infusion

Priyanka’s classy makeup, with her stunning hair, is so light and fresh she could be in her sanctuary at the spa, unless she’s trying to scare a paparazzo or two. It doesn’t hurt that her amazing makeup is so pink and shiny.

Gwyneth Paltrow, Sliding Doors: Tall, Dark, and Narrow

Gwyneth’s rocking a blunt bob in a very dark pink shade that matches her eyes. The shadow and her pink lip make for a complete look that both complements her gorgeous eye makeup and brings a whole new level of creepiness to Jack’s world.

Madonna, Into the Groove: Sleepy Eyes

Madonna’s already going for the ethereal look with her winged liner and nude lip, but her pink eye shadow and smudged lips may just make her look more batshit crazy than ever.

Zendaya, Zendaya: Strong and Sexy

If there’s a girl who looks like she could stay awake for 100 years, Zendaya certainly it. Her neutral-toned makeup pops against her sparkly, skin-baring, bad-ass outfit, which really gives off a “Alice in Wonderland”-meets-Fast-and-Furious vibe.

Adele, 23: Titled

Titled, you guys! Some of the nude shadow on Adele’s cheeks gives her a most unusual yet beautiful look, as do her eyeliner, blush, and long lashes.

Kaley Cuoco, The Big Bang Theory: Scary Sexy

Kaley Cuoco gets the fairy princess idea about the hair and makeup look, and she’s far from afraid of it. Her deep golden tan, bright pink lipstick, and twinkly eye shadow add a playful, yet creepy, touch to the fairy queen look.

Anna Paquin, True Blood: Limited Run with Ethereal Pink

Anna’s always known for her bright eyes and floral-print dresses, but she’s taken that spooky look to a new level with this stunning look. Her long extensions add a perfect pink color to her lips, and her simple, dark black eyeliner sets the look off beautifully.
