I’ve been playing the Electone since I was six, mainly performing Disney music, anime songs, and music from dramas and films. I post performance videos on YouTube and social media, and I also give concerts. Building on my Electone experience, I took up synthesizer and piano during my student years and performed at school-sponsored events. As a writer, I’ve covered not only music-related topics but a wide range of genres, so I hope to draw on my experience to deliver articles that make readers think, “I want to try that!” or “I want to listen to that!”

Dramatic Transformation with Easy Halloween Makeup! A Collection of Cute and Spooky Makeup Ideas (41–50)

Ei-chan the leopard: naked with fox makeup and hyottoko makeup (^_^) Even if you take off the mask, sorry, it's still a mask.

Instead of wearing a mask, this makeup involves painting the mask’s design directly onto your face.

When you think of a fox mask, it’s usually white with sharp, defined eyes and mouth, right? Let’s copy that exactly onto your face.

For the base, it’s recommended to use white greasepaint or a white water-based foundation.

For features like the eyes and mouth, as well as black wrinkles, draw them on as if you’re illustrating, using eyebrow pencils or eyeliners.

The key is to finish with a crisp, sharp look, just like a fox mask.

Wearing a pumpkin costume is a popular, easy-to-enjoy disguise for everyone from kids to adults.

If you’re going to dress up, why not turn your face into a pumpkin too? Use orange-toned greasepaint or a face-safe cream to create the pumpkin color.

To get that jack-o’-lantern look with cutout eyes and mouth, draw them on with black eyeliner or a dark eyebrow pencil.

For the lips and around the mouth, black lipstick is also recommended.

After that, feel free to add wrinkles or paint on blood-like marks to become a cute yet spooky pumpkin!

Ursula (The Little Mermaid)

This is Ursula’s makeup from The Little Mermaid.

The key features of Ursula’s look are the overall aqua-blue tone and long eyelashes.

If your false lashes don’t have enough volume, try stacking two pairs.

It will make the eye area heavier, but it will bring you closer to Ursula’s vibe.

Cruella (101 Dalmatians)

This is Cruella-inspired makeup from 101 Dalmatians.

It might be challenging, but if you’re confident in your drawing skills, definitely give it a try.

The key is to focus less on the spots and more on creating a clean gradient around them.

That will really elevate the overall finish.

When you think of Halloween, the image of nighttime is probably the strongest.

Along with the eerie presence of a full moon hanging in the night sky, a wolf is a great match for a costume, don’t you think? A silver wig that evokes wolf ears and fur is a major highlight, and you can layer makeup to match it.

Keep an overall emphasis on whiteness, while shaping the eyes strongly and clearly to give a wild impression.

Colored contacts are also important—by changing the size of the irises, you can emphasize an animalistic look.

Bride Zombie

One of the most popular Halloween costumes is the zombie bride.

While real brides usually keep their makeup understated, this is a zombie and it’s Halloween—so the key is to go bold with color.

To match the look of discolored zombie skin, use deep reds and dark, almost black shades around the eyes to create a sunken effect.

Dark lip colors are also recommended.

Adding overall smudges of dirty black and drawing blood-like streaks with your lipstick will ramp up the fear factor.

Wearing contacts that make your irises look smaller will double the zombie vibe, so definitely try them if you want to go all-in on the scare.
