Just gonna say it -- not all guys know how to do makeup. But this time of year, maybe it's a desired skill? Here are Easy Halloween Makeup Tutorials for Men, a blog post with a solid double handful of makeup tutorial videos, WITH THE TRANSCRIPT FOR EACH right in the blog! Here's a whole catalog of 100 more men's makeup ideas. And also here's nearly 50 makeup ideas for women during this spooky time.

that first link is really appreciated!

I feel like going out as a man is scary enough for people, so I was discouraged how many of those "100 more" are either some form of indigenous cultural facepaint or some form of murderer. found myself more drawn to the 50 women's ideas--including...Prince Zuko.

Yeah, I saw those indigenous designs being suggested and nearly didn't choose that list to link, but it's fewer than 10% of the total and they are easy enough to overlook.

My Halloween choices as a glasses-wearer:

1. Buy contacts for the 1 or 2 times a year I want to do something like this, or go diving.
2. Look at all the intricate makeup and masks, and say, "That's cool, it's too bad I'd smear that all over my face because of my glasses.
3. Do it anyway, but just go blind for an incredibly uncomfortable evening.
4. "Oh well, looks like it's Clark Kent again this year!"

There are entire lists of "makeup with glasses" ideas if you really want to rub colors on your skin.

That “100 more” link is pure AI generated listicle.

As noted already, the 100 link is both AI-generated and contains makeup for white ppl to look like various indigenous peoples. Not cool, flagged.
