8 Scary and Iconic Makeup Ideas Every Filipino Makeup Artist Must Try

Halloween is fast approaching and Filipino makeup artists will be in high demand! Halloween makeup trends are just around the corner. It’s also the time of the year where classic Halloween movies are always in display. What better way to prepare for the festivity than merging these two? Here are 10 iconic horror movie characters to choose from:

Billy The Puppet

Billy the Puppet from the movie Saw was used by John Kramer, also known as Jigsaw, to communicate with his victims. The iconic puppet delivers messages while appearing on a television screen. Billy is portrayed as wearing a black tuxedo and a red bow tie. His harrowing face is white with red spirals on both cheeks. His look is topped with black, messy hair. It is, indeed, one of the most definitive horror characters to date.

Stephen King’s Pennywise

If I were to enumerate Stephen King’s iconic horror characters, the list would go on. The most aesthetically terrifying, however; would be Pennywise the Clown from Stephen King’s creation, IT. Clowns are now one of the most petrifying figures, thanks to Stephen King.

Hannibal Lecter

Did you know that Hannibal Lecter’s character was based on a real criminal? What’s more frightening than saying the film was based on a “true story?” The character is one of the all-time scariest movie characters because of Anthony Hopkins’ remarkably stoic performance.

Charles Lee Ray a.k.a Chucky

If we’re talking about the most childhood ruining character ever, that would be Chucky. Imagine your favorite doll possessed with a serial killer’s soul who would eventually unleash mayhem. Orange hair, button overalls and striped shirt is a surefire Halloween outfit, isn’t it?

Jason Voorhees

Just to be clear, we are talking about the hockey-masked psycho in Friday the 13th series. His character was an iconic madman that hacks off people because of a searing need to avenge the death of his mother. Jason is a true example of a simple yet classic makeup and costume combo for the holiday.

The scary nun from The Conjuring 2

She is popularly known as “Valak”, a nun who was possessed by a demon and who looks like Marilyn Manson’s doppelganger. This demonic nun is one of the most recent horror favorites so if you’d like to go with the trend, this is your best bet.

Sadako slash Kayako

Since the two look very much alike, the tutorial hits two birds with one stone. Sadako (The Ring) and Kayako (The Grudge) are both dressed in white, with very long hair with a very white foundation makeup. The only difference is Sadako’s long black hair is covering her face. Both still look nightmarish though.

Michael Myers

Halloween is undoubtedly a classic horror film. The enigmatic character of Michael Myers is one of the most popular villains in the slasher film industry. Myers is a sublime classic in both the horror and suspense genre.

It’s time for Filipino makeup artists to get creative! If you’d like a spook-tacular Halloween, these iconic characters are your best bet.
