13 Cat Makeup Tutorials For Halloween

It’s not every day that you get to enjoy one of the finer things that life has to offer: dressing up. Yes, the saying “look good, feel good” does ring true here, but we’re talking about dressing up for the holidays — namely Halloween. The candy corn and pumpkin-spice lattes are fun, but the best part of the season is arguably the fun costumes. Although we always plan on coming up with an elaborate outfit, it seems that almost every year, we wait until the last minute to throw something together and end up running to Party City to snag the very last pair of cat ears. While there’s nothing wrong with being a four-legged friend for Halloween, you can make your costume a little bit more original by incorporating some cat makeup to your look.

We’ve rounded up incredible cat makeup tutorials so you can punch up those basic ears and transform into the kitty of your dreams. Seriously, we have options for every cat Halloween makeup look you can imagine. Whether you’re looking for cute cat makeup, black-cat makeup, or just cat-whiskers makeup, we’ve got you covered. Add some spots with some gold eyeliner to become a leopard or pile on the pink and purple eyeshadow to become the Cheshire Cat — the options are endless. Ahead, you’ll get some amazing makeup inspiration to take your costume to new Halloween-ready heights.
