What this video covers

MadeYewLook creator Lex puts a fresh spin on Nightmare Before Christmas fan makeup by designing an original 'Pumpkin Queen' character rather than recreating Jack or Sally directly. The look draws heavily from Jack Skellington's aesthetic — pale, skull-like features and a white pumpkin motif — rendered entirely through face and body paint. A curated selection of Mehron, BH Cosmetics, and NYX products are used to build the layered, high-contrast finished look. The result is a wearable Halloween costume concept that stands apart from the flood of standard Jack-and-Sally tutorials.

Key takeaways

  • Original 'Pumpkin Queen' character inspired by Jack Skellington rather than a direct character recreation
  • White pumpkin design keeps the look closer to Jack's pale, monochromatic aesthetic
  • Uses Mehron Paradise Paint as the base, layered with BH Cosmetics eyeshadows and NYX kohl liner
  • Custom MadeYewLook brushes (detail, angled, eyeshadow) are central to achieving crisp linework
  • Great template for fans who want a Nightmare Before Christmas look with a unique twist
