Even if you’re not leaving the house this Halloween, you can still make your night feel like a party with some glow-in-the-dark makeup. Create a full-face using UV body paint to really impress your friends over video chat or focus your attention on an amped-up graphic eye look or fun, glowing nail art. Get inspired to glow by scrolling through eight of the best blacklight-activated makeup and nail looks we’ve seen on Instagram. 

Celestial Vibes

Instagram makeup artist Ellen Kern added some glow-in-the-dark star stickers to a multi-colored squiggly design. The result is an outer space-esque look we’re obsessed with.

Starry Night

This star print design is one you could totally wear during the day and then turns heads with at night. 


Glow Up

You definitely won’t need a night light with these long, glowing coffin-shaped acrylics on your nails. 


Glitz and Neon

If rhinestones and glitter aren’t giving your eye look quite enough oomph, up the ante with neon glow-in-the-dark designs like @stefanieblends did here.


Double, Double, Glow and Trouble

Make a witch’s cauldron-inspired Halloween eye look come to life with some UV pigment.

Clown Around

No scary clowns here! Created with rainbow shades that glow in the dark, this look is more cool than creepy.


Flip the Switch

There are lots of options when it comes to Halloween nail art, but no design is as, shall we say, lit as this one. 


Glow There 

For a more avant-garde kind of look, try a paint splatter situation like this one by @beatbyrache. It looks subtle with the lights on, but once they’re off, it has a major wow factor.
