Step 1 : Prepping Your Skin.

Begin with a clean, oil-free face to ensure your Halloween look stays vibrant all night. Proper skin prep is essential for a flawless, long-lasting finish, especially for achieving Charlie’s smooth, perfected look. To enhance makeup vibrancy and provide a base for Pros-Aide, we recommend using Skin Prep by Smith & Nephew.

Step 2: Foundation and Eyebrow blocking

To capture Charlie’s signature pale complexion, aim for a light, porcelain-like foundation. Start by flattening and blocking out your eyebrows for a smooth canvas. Brush Pros-Aide through your brows, followed by a dusting of Ben Nye Neutral Set to lock it in place. Then, apply a white foundation—we used the Mehron White Stick—blending evenly to cover any imperfections and achieve that flawless, animated look. Be sure to cover your neck and ears as well for a cohesive finish. Finally, set everything with Ben Nye Super White Face Powder to keep the look intact all night.

Step 3: Blush

For the lively, circular blush on the apples of your cheeks, start by removing a bit of the white makeup in two small, round shapes using a Q-tip and Bioderma Sensibio H2O. Once you have two clear circles, apply blush using the Mehron CreamBlend Stick in Red to give that sweet, animated glow. Set this with a translucent powder.

Step 4: Lips –Charlie’s Signature Smile

Charlie’s thin lips are essential to her look. To recreate this, start by outlining your lips with a lip liner to shape them and prevent any smudging. Next, fill in your lips with the same liner for a cohesive base. Since everyone’s natural lips are fuller, using black can help reduce their appearance. We recommend Inglot AMC Eyeliner Gel for this step, as it’s both smear-proof and waterproof, ensuring your look stays intact all night.

Step 5: Eye Makeup

Charlie’s eyes are big and expressive, so the eye makeup should emphasize that animated style. Use the same eyeliner gel to create a clean, winged look that enhances the shape of your eyes, giving them a wide, open effect characteristic of cartoon characters. Then, fill in the lid with a bold, exaggerated style. For extra drama, apply false lashes or multiple coats of volumizing mascara to make your eyes stand out even more.

Step 5: Bold Brows

Charlie’s eyebrows are one of her standout features, thin and perfectly arched. Use the same eyeliner gel and draw in your thin brow.

Step 6: Hair and Accessories

Charlie’s platinum blonde hair is essential to completing the look. If you don’t already have light hair, consider getting a blonde wig with her signature volume. Her hairstyle is sleek at the roots but voluminous at the ends, with long bangs framing her face. You can style the wig using a curling iron to get those soft waves. You can also follow our approach by brushing EBA Liquid Hair in “Pale” through your hair or using a temporary white hair color.

Finally to finish the look add WickedEyeZ contacts-“Broken Soul” (in-store purchase only) and Scarecrow fangs

As for accessories, wear a simple red button-up shirt with a black bowtie and a black blazer to mirror Charlie’s signature outfit. Don’t forget a pair of black pants and boots to finish off her elegant, Hellish style.

Final Look

With your makeup done and your costume on, you’ll be ready to take on the role of Hell’s most optimistic princess. Charlie Morningstar’s look is perfect for those who want to embrace a playful yet devilishly stylish persona this Halloween. Whether you’re headed to a party, a cosplay event, or just looking to impress with your costume, this makeup tutorial will help you achieve the animated and angelic charm of the Hazbin Hotel’s leading lady.
