The Best Halloween Costumes to Wear With a Beard

Halloween Costumes with a Short Beard

Tony Stark (Iron Man, Marvel)

Rock the billionaire genius look with a clean, sculpted goatee. Use a beard balm conditioner for a sleek finish, then quickly perfect the edges with a beard shaping tool and firm hold mustache wax for that crisp Stark precision.

Joel Miller (The Last of Us)

Keep it easy by throwing on a flannel, boots, and strapping on a fake rifle. Perfect for bearded staches, just massage in a few drops of refined beard oil for shine and softness, then shape with a boar bristle brush so it looks intentionally disheveled while still keeping your beard hairs protected.

Mutton Chop Revival (Bridgerton, Wolverine, Rock n Roll)

Whether you grab some claws to go full-on Wolverine or don a waistcoat to court a Bridgerton-dressed gal, there’s plenty of costume options to try out if you’re a chops kinda guy—or chops curious and just need an excuse to try the look! Define your lines using grooming scissors, work in some BeardPlus serum to keep your beard soft and full, then add a light layer of beard balm conditioner for a classic finish.

Jon Snow (Game of Thrones)

If you just want to throw on a costume, grab your sword, and go—this Halloween costume for a short beard is for you. Let your classic beard speak for itself with just a simple beard shampoo and conditioner to keep it clean and soft.

Halloween Costumes with a Medium Beard

The Dude (The Big Lebowski)

Effortlessly low-maintence but still legendary. Toss on a bowling shirt (or a bathrobe and shades) and rub a small amount of beard balm between your palms and apply to your beard for a relaxed, flyaway-free look. Afterwards, give it a quick comb through for “accidentally perfect” vibes.

Jedi (Obi Wan Kenobi, or the late Luke Skywalker)

Channel the force by shampooing and conditioning your beard, then add a couple drops of clarifying beard oil for shine, then line everything up with a beard shaping tool. All that’s left is just figuring out what color lightsaber to wield.

Pirate

Bring all that chaotic good Captain Jack Sparrow energy to the Halloween party—and don’t hold back on the beads! Work in some beard balm conditioner to separate your beard braid(s), then twist and hold the details with some firm hold mustache wax.

Classic Wolf Man

Volume and texture really make the monster here, making this an easy Halloween costume for bearded dudes with long hair. Just don’t skip the beard conditioner before styling—you’ll thank me later when you have that extra softness. Next, lightly scrunch your beard with a firm boar bristle brush, and lock the look in with beard balm for that beastly but controlled finish.

Halloween Costumes with a Long Beard

Viking (Kratos, God of War)

You can totally have a halloween beard costume that’s all power and no frizz. After your war paint and weapon of choice, use a durable beard comb to smooth out your main, braid some sections, and secure with beard balm for a warrior style that will stay in place. Finish with a touch of refined beard oil, and if you’re feeling extra—while you’re braiding, add in a few rune-engraved beard beads.

Minecraft Movie (Jack Black as Steve)

Easy, budget-friendly, and crowd pleasing for a Halloween party. Protect your beard with beard conditioner, then brush it out nice and fluffy with a boar bristle brush. And if you want those big white streaks like Jack Black, use some beard chalk or spray. All that’s left is just a green shirt, jeans, and (to make your inner child giggle) a NERF diamond sword.

Classic Wizard

Glorious, long, and mystical. Give your beard extra care with beard shampoo and beard conditioner, then smooth on a BeardPlus serum for a silky flow even Gandalf would respect.

Greek God (Zeus pun, grab a toga, brush your beard and you’re out the door)

It can’t be a Halloween costume guide from Zeus Beard without mentioning the man himself! Make your thick and full beard god-like with some good old-fashioned brushing for a full shape, work in some beard balm for shine, and seal the deal with a couple drops of refined beard oil. It’s practically toga-n-go.

Halloween Costumes with a Mustache

Reno 911

The classic cop ‘stache never misses. Shape and shine with firm hold mustache wax and a mustache comb for that precise edge. Women love a good sense of humor, so bonus points if you commit to Dangle’s short shorts.

Super Mario (Luigi, Mario, Waluigi, Wario)

Who says only women can have group costumes? For a Halloween night with the bros decked out in overalls, just use our mega hold mustache wax for exaggerated curls, then bring it altogether with a dab of clarifying beard oil to keep those mustaches soft and shiny.

Top Gun

Literally still the king of cool. Apply a light hold mustache wax for that signature Goose (or Rooster) edge, and lock it all in with beard balm conditioner to keep your ‘stache smooth for takeoff. Plus, who doesn’t want to spend Halloween night wearing one of those sick leather bomber jackets?

Hateful Eight Cowboy Vibes

You’re going to need to step up your grooming game if you want to rock some true western grit. Brush through with a mustache comb, shape it with some firm hold wax, and add some outlaw polish to your ‘stache with a drop of beard oil.

Post-Halloween Party Beard Care (Easy Step-by-Step)

1. Cleanse: Remove any beard rings or beads. Then remove any makeup, oil, or fake blood with beard shampoo. Work in the shampoo down to the skin underneath the beard hair for a proper deep clean. 
2. Condition: Follow up with some beard conditioner to hydrate and soften your beard hair. Detangle with a comb as needed.
3. Hydrate: After rinsing out the beard conditioner and patting your beard dry, apply clarifying beard oil before bed for overnight repair.
4. Tame It: Gently use your beard brush or comb to restore shape for the next morning.
