Melted Ice Cream Cone Halloween Costume & Makeup
Hi friends! I’m back today with one more fun costume DIY to share with y’all, just in time for Halloween 🙂 No, we are not unicorns haha! We are melted ice cream cones (although you could combine the two for a unicone :)) Madeline’s favorite ice cream flavor is strawberry, so I thought this would be so fun to do! I got everything we needed for this look from Amazon, and just like our scarecrow looks, it was easy to put together. I’ll share some photos and below that, I’ll link everything we’re wearing for our costumes + makeup. I’ll talk through the steps for the makeup look. If you’re a visual learner like I am, see the steps below and check out my IG reels for a video!

Next, I drew the shape of the ice cream splat on my face with this white eye liner.
Then, I colored in the splat with this pink face paint I added a few extra drops on my face.
I then set that in place so that it wouldn’t be as sticky with the brightest pink eyeshadow from this palette (it’s your best friend for Halloween makeup looks).
I then took a highlight and dabbed it in a few of the curves on the splat.
You want the splat to look like it’s sort of 3D, standing off your face, so I outlined it in a deep tan/brown from the same eyeshadow palette.
After that, I bronzed around my jaw line + added a contoured the side of my face opposite to the splat. I then took that same bright pink eyeshadow and contoured in the same spot with this pink.
The eye opposite of the splat, I added the same pink eyeshadow to the crease and heavily blended it + added a shimmer from the same palette to the lids and under my brow bone for a highlight.
Next, I filled in my brows with my normal pencil + added liner. To create a contrast (which I loved), I did a black winged liner on the eye opposite the splat and white winged liner on the eye in the splat. Went over lightly with mascara then added these full lashes.
Now for the fun part…sprinkles!!! I went over my brow (the one in the splat only) with eyelash glue (don’t worry, it all came off my brow with a makeup wipe) then with an eyeshadow brush, I pressed the sprinkles onto my brow. I love how some fell into my lash for an extra cool touch. Tip: put a towel underneath you to catch the sprinkles that fall for less mess.
Next, lips! I used this NYX bright pink stain which was perfect. Right after applying, I pressed sprinkles onto my lips, and they actually stayed for hours until I used a makeup wipe to take them off.
For my neck, I used this freckle pen to draw lines that would look like a waffle cone. Simply go diagonally across the next one way then diagonally the other way. I then filled in the squares with a bronzer + added a little highlight.
Lastly, the hair! These pink wigs turned out to be awesome!!! I’m also so glad we had them for the cone part. We used a real cone, but it really needs to go on our hairline for the melted splat to look realistic. Getting it to stick was the catch, and I did not want to add liquid latex into our hair. Having the wig was a lifesaver. I was able to stick the cones onto the wig. Now for the ice cream around the cone, I simply used half of a tissue, coated it in liquid latex and placed it around the base of the cone. I then colored it with the same pink face paint to match and topped that with sprinkles. It seriously turned out SO cute, and I just love how it all came together.
