Confirmed Halloween Update content so far

The developer, Lukash, has not posted patch notes or a feature list for the Halloween Update. The only official description is the event blurb, which promises a spooky vibe and “lots of new content” for the Halloween season. Anything more specific is guesswork until the update ships.

  • Confirmed: the name (Halloween Update), the date, the 3:00 PM UTC start, and a Halloween season theme.
  • Not confirmed: specific new makeup items, such as Halloween eyes, lashes, or piercings.
  • Not confirmed: a limited-duration event featuring seasonal objectives or rewards exclusive to it.

Themed makeup additions would fit the game’s core loop. In each round, every player paints the same theme onto a 3D face using brushes, lashes, hair, and rhinestones. Then everyone rates each look from one to five stars, and the highest-rated face wins. Until the developer posts details, treat any specific item list as speculation.


Facecard: Makeup Showdown age requirement before the update

Check one thing before you plan your Saturday around the release. Facecard: Makeup Showdown is currently restricted to players aged 16 and up. The developer posted the change as an announcement in the game’s Roblox group and called it temporary. The team says it is working to bring the game in line with Roblox’s regulations so younger players can return.

No date has been given for lifting the 16+ restriction. Accounts below that age should not expect to access the Halloween Update when it goes live on October 24.

Get notified when the Halloween Update goes live

Roblox can remind you about the release for you. Open the Halloween event page on Roblox and press Notify Me to get an alert when the event starts. You know it worked when the button changes to show that notifications are on for that event.

Once 3:00 PM UTC passes, launch the game from its Roblox page as usual. The game’s Discord server is where the developer shares news and new codes, so it is also the most likely place for a rundown of what the Halloween Update actually adds.
