'It's showtime!' Get ready to turn some heads this Halloween with Beetlejuice-inspired looks that'll have everyone saying your name three times. Whether you're aiming for the ghost with the most or his goth girl sidekick, we've got the Beetlejuice wigs and makeup ideas to make you the life of the afterparty.
Kicking things off with a little mood board action, starring our resident horror makeup queen, @ellycatt. She's got a knack for bringing Tim Burton's creepy-cool characters to life, and Beetlejuice is no exception. She's quite literally channelling the bio-exorcist himself.
If you're looking to go full-on Beetlejuice (don't say it three times!), take inspiration from these 'classic looks'. That green hair? It's not just a wig, it's a lifestyle. Our 'Miss Joker' wig is perfect for nailing that 'recently deceased' vibe. Just add a mischievous grin, and you'll be ready to cause some chaos in the Netherworld – or at least at your friend's Halloween bash.
But why stop at classic when you can go couture? Check out this designer-inspired Beetlejuice look by @pigeon_pie_art. The ghost with the most got a makeover from Louis Vuitton (and the Frenchman is turning in his grave). The 'Virgin Bang Bang' wig gets a makeover courtesy of some green eyeshadow, proving that even the undead can be fashion-forward.
The super easy eyeshadow trick is covered in our 10 makeup products you can use on your wig guide.
For those who prefer their Beetlejuice with a side of grunge, we've got you covered. This look screams 'I've been haunting the 90s, and I liked it.' The 'Diamond Doll' wig with its blunt bangs gives a perfect edge, while the ghostly white skin and bold eye makeup scream 'strange and unusual.' It's Beetlejuice meets Courtney Love, and we're here for it.
Apply green hairspray to your wig to achieve the look pictured, courtesy of the beautiful Brittany.
If you really want to push the envelope, reimagine Isabelle's full face and body art masterpiece. It's like Beetlejuice went to art school and decided to become his own canvas. The 'Jungle Acid' wig adds the perfect modern twist that says, 'I may be dead, but my style is very much alive.'
But why stop at just Beetlejuice? Elly's gone and mashed up our favourite bio-exorcist with other Burton classics. Jack Skellington and the Corpse Bride join the party in these unique designs. It's a Tim Burton fever dream, and we're not waking up anytime soon
Of course, we can't forget about everyone's favourite moody teen, Lydia Deetz. Whether you're going for full body paint like Shannon, opting for soft grunge like Kate, or are inspired by Elisa's modern beauty take, that iconic red wedding dress is a must.

For those who can't decide between Beetlejuice and Lydia, why not be both? This stunning hybrid look by Elisa combines Lydia's signature style (courtesy of our 'Wolf Mullet' wig) with Beetlejuice's bold colour palette. It's the perfect compromise for the indecisive Halloween enthusiast.
But wait, there's more! If you and your bestie want to team up as the dynamic duo, we've got inspiration for days. Whether you're feeling 80s nostalgia, modern editorial, or soft goth realness, there's a Beetlejuice and Lydia look for every style. Think 'The Breakfast Club' met 'The Addams Family' and decided to throw a party
Ladies, let's face it - sometimes getting your guy to join in on the Halloween fun can be scarier than the Maitlands' attic. But fear not! We've conjured up some killer couple concepts that'll have your man proclaiming 'It's showtime!' faster than he can shake a calypso stick.
First up, we've got Beetlejuice and Lydia reimagined for the 21st century. It's like they stumbled out of the afterlife and right into a TikTok video (likely filmed in a hipster coffee shop). It's 'strange and unusual' meets 'swipe right for the afterlife.' (But only if you drink fair-trade cold brew.)
For those of you who think the Victorian era never should've ended (looking at you, Beetlejuice), we've got a gothic twist that'll make you want to honeymoon in the Netherworld. It’s serving 'corpse bride but make it fashion' for you and 'Bridgerton' got trapped in a sandworm for him.
Whether you're feeling modern or vintage, there's no excuse for your beau to sit this one out. In the immortal words of Lydia, 'My whole life is a dark room. One. Big. Dark. Room.' But with these couple costumes, your Halloween is sure to be anything but dull.
So there you have it – enough Beetlejuice hair and makeup ideas to keep you busy until the next sequel (which, let's face it, we've been waiting for since the 80s). Whether you go classic, couture, or completely off the wall, just turn on the juice and see what shakes loose!
Happy haunting! xx
