Wickedly Easy Halloween Makeup in 6 Steps with Benefit Cosmetics

Halloween is coming, and let's be real, who has time for a complicated makeup routine when you're busy wrangling tiny superheros and princesses? Benefit has you covered with their "Cracked Doll" makeup look, a hauntingly cute tutorial that lets you sneak in some skincare while prepping for trick-or-treating.

This look is all about that cracked porcelain doll vibe, but with a glam twist. The best part? You can achieve the cracked effect using Benefit’s Deep Retreat Clay Mask – meaning you're pampering your skin while creating a killer Halloween look!

Here’s how to achieve the look, using only Benefit products…

Step 1

Start with a dramatic winged liner using Benefit's Roller Liner ($44) in Matte Black for that classic doll-like definition.

Step 2

Create full, textured brows with Precisely My Brow Pencil ($48) to mimic hair-like strokes and set and define with Precisely My Brow Wax ($48).

Step 3

Apply your fave hot pink lipstick and contour with shade 5 of the Precisely My Brow Pencil ($48) for a perfectly defined pout.

Step 4

Apply a thick layer of Benefit's Deep Retreat Clay Mask ($62) and let it dry. This is where the magic (and the multitasking) happens

Step 5

Add colour to the cheeks with GoGo Cheek and Lip Tint ($42).

Step 6

Once the mask is dry, gently stretch and scrunch your face. Use a buffing brush to flake off the mask in strategic areas, creating the illusion of cracked porcelain!
