What is the Halloween Makeup Transition trend?

The Halloween makeup transition is a TikTok format that took off in early October 2026: you stare into the camera bare-faced, snap your head down, and come back up in full Halloween makeup. The viral versions are real makeup on a phone that never moves, with the cut hidden in the fast head flip. The look we recreate is the black-and-white skeleton: a white base, black eye sockets and nose, and teeth drawn across the lips and out along the cheeks.
