Halloween is just around the corner on October 31, some of us will already know what they’re dressing up as – hello pregnant Kylie Jenner – but for the rest of us, the inevitable mad-dash to find a costume is little more than a fortnight away. Well, allow us to help. Forget hunting down a haunting costume and just go all-out with your make-up, taking a few tips from these spooky tutorials…

1. Queen of Darkness 

With the white mesh contacts stealing the show, this look by by dope2111 is a stunner, as it is an elegant blend of spooky and beautiful. A great inspiration for someone who wants to keep it scary yet simple.

2. Queen of the Dead

Similar to the Queen of Darkness look, Roxxsaurus‘s the Queen of Dead goes a step further and is fiercer with an intense focus on the use of black around the eyes and the mouth. The long eyelashes are the cherry on top of this creepy look.

3. Demon Halloween Look

Desi Perkins‘ Demon Halloween look is perfect for someone who wants to go all out come October 31. White contacts and massive horns, coupled with a blue-tinged face, creates a Halloween masterpiece. This is definitely one for a steady make-up hand, though! 

4. Pennywise Glam

Some very timely inspiration comes via Pennywise from the movie It. There are a good few Pennywise-inspired looks the rounds on YouTube, but we love this look by Jasmine Brown in particular. It keeps all of the movie’s horror appeal, with a scattering of glamour. 

 

5. Corpse Bride

This Madeyewlook make-up tutorial has a total ‘I just came back from the dead’ feel, but what makes it unique is how the look incorporates innocence and naivety. Plus, the heavy use of the colour blue makes it feel a little less terrifying. 

 

6. Neon Rainbow Skull 

A classic when it comes to Halloween make-up looks has to be the skull. However, Jarry The Worst has revived the skull by giving it a neon look and making it a cutting-edge and vibrant aesthetic.

 

7. Myth Halloween Make-Up Look 

This look by Heather Moorhouse is sure to give you (and everyone else) nightmares. The horrific eyes, deadly in all their might, and the deep purple contour is bound give you the chills until next Halloween.
