If there’s one thing 2025 is serving, it’s unapologetic glam—and nothing says bold quite like a killer Devil Makeup look. Once reserved for Halloween, this fiery aesthetic is making its way into music festivals, themed photoshoots, and even edgy nights out. Think: bachelorette parties in Vegas, Eras Tour cosplay, and #GRWM TikToks that rack up views in minutes.

Whether you’re a makeup beginner or a beauty pro, this guide walks you through every step to bring the ultimate Devil vibe to life—right from the comfort of your bedroom mirror. Expect affordable U.S. brands, pro tips, and hot takes that match the heat of your look. 

Let’s paint the town red.

 Step 1: Prep Your Canvas – Skincare Comes First

Before you go full glam, let’s get your skin ready to hold that heat. A good Devil Makeup look lasts all night (and through the afterparty), so prepping your skin is non-negotiable.

• Start with a gentle exfoliant like Youth to the People Yerba Mate Resurfacing Energy Facial—it brightens and smooths for a flawless base.
• Follow up with Tatcha The Dewy Skin Cream—a rich moisturizer that keeps your makeup from flaking or creasing.
• Lock in moisture and grip with Milk Makeup Hydro Grip Primer—a cult favorite for a reason.

Hot Tip: Want your look to stay set in Miami humidity or a NYC rooftop rave? Throw your primer in the fridge for a cooling, pore-tightening boost.

Step 2: Build a Fiery Base with Bold Red Pigments

Your skin should scream “I woke up like this—evil.” You can go subtle with red-tinted contour or commit fully with crimson face paint.

Options based on your vibe:

• Full Face Devil Glow: Use Mehron Paradise AQ Face Paint in Red—a Broadway-tested, water-activated pigment. Blend evenly with a damp beauty sponge.
• Sultry Flame Contour: Apply Fenty Beauty’s Cheeks Out Freestyle Cream Bronzer in Teddy and add Danessa Myricks ColorFix in Primary Red to temples and cheekbones for fire-kissed drama.
• Glow Goals: Dab Rare Beauty Positive Light Liquid Luminizer in Flaunt along your high points—think cheekbones, brow bones, and collarbones.

Set with NYX High Definition Finishing Powder to keep that fire in place through the night.

Step 3: Haunting Eyes That Speak Devilish Volume

If your eyes aren’t giving main character, start over. The eyes are where Devil Makeup lives its best life—smoky, sparkly, and wildly expressive.

• Start with Urban Decay Naked Heat Palette for a deep red smoky eye.
• For shimmer? Apply Half Magic’s Glitterpill in Screwed Up to the center of the lid for that Euphoria-inspired dazzle.
• Sharp wing? Go with KVD Beauty Tattoo Liner in Trooper Black.
• Add Suva Beauty Hydra FX in Cherry Bomb for a fierce red cut-crease or double wing.

Lower lash line? Don’t ignore her.

• Use ColourPop Creme Gel Liner in Venus and smudge it with a pencil brush for demonic intensity.

👁 Contact lenses in red or white (check TTDEye for FDA-approved options) can take this look from fierce to full fantasy.

Step 4: Details That Make the Devil – Horns, Brows & Symbols

Time to take things from basic baddie to infernal icon.

For the Brows:

• Go snatched with Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Freeze, or
• Lighten brows for ethereal contrast using Makeup Revolution Brow Lightener.

Add Devilish Details:

• Draw on mini flame wings over your eyebrows or temple using NYX Epic Wear Liner in Red.
• Apply Lime Crime Freckle Pen in Red Rose to draw devil symbols, hearts, or mini pitchforks on your cheeks or neck.
• Attach lightweight horns using Pros-Aide Adhesive—you can find handmade sets on Etsy or in-store at Spirit Halloween.

 Patch test any adhesive and pigment—especially before a hot, sweaty concert weekend!

Step 5: Lips That Burn – From Glossy Sins to Matte Mayhem

Your lips are the finishing touch—and they should look like they’ve kissed danger.

• Matte Look: Go with Pat McGrath Labs MatteTrance in Elson 2—flattering, bold, and long-lasting.
• Glossy Pout: Line with NYX Slim Lip Pencil in Hot Red, top with Tower 28 ShineOn Lip Jelly in Spicy.
• Vamp Vibes: Use MAC Retro Matte Liquid Lipcolor in Carnivorous for deep, smoldering seduction.

Pro move: Overline your cupid’s bow into sharp, devil-horn peaks for a subtle but stunning effect.

Step 6: Sin Sustainably – Eco-Friendly Devil Makeup Picks

Being bad never felt so good—especially when it’s planet-conscious.

• Axiology Balmies – Plastic-free, multi-use crayons for lips, cheeks, and eyes. “Out of Office” is your go-to red.
• Ilia Blue Light Mist – Set your glam and shield your skin from screens with this clean-beauty fave.
• MakeUp Eraser Cloth – Ditch disposable wipes. This reusable cloth removes full glam with just water.

Perfect for festival travel bags or minimizing your environmental impact after Halloween parties or Pride parades.

Final Words from the Underworld: Own Your Devil Era

The best part of any Devil Makeup look? It’s not about perfection—it’s about power. It’s about letting your alter ego out to play, expressing what’s usually kept under wraps, and doing it all with glam that’s uniquely you.

Whether you’re going full red fantasy or just adding a devilish flick of liner, remember that confidence is your ultimate accessory.
