Pumpkin King (MadeYewLook, Nightmare Before Christmas Inspired)

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.
