As Halloween approaches, most people are anticipating a night filled with the creepiest, scariest costumes and decorations out there. After all, this holiday is often centered around ghosts, skulls, and gore, but that doesn't have to be the case. If you're looking for something a bit sweeter, a deer Halloween costume is the way to go.
Deer face makeup requires very few supplies — you need some black and white face paint, lipstick for the nose and upper lip, white eyeshadow, and eyeliner for the dots around the forehead, cheeks, and neck. You can also finish off the look with fake lashes and a pair of ears if you're feeling fancy. There are various creative ways you can customize your deer-costume makeup, like adding rhinestones and flower crowns or opting to do full reindeer makeup.
To get inspired for your Halloween costume this year — whether you're planning way in advance or in the need of a last-minute tutorial, keep scrolling for a variety of deer-makeup looks.
