Halloween makeup inspiration that’ll scare the pants off you

If you ask me, the only thing better than a male make-up transformation is a Halloween make-up transformation.
Last year, make-up artist Kandee Johnson blew the bh office away with her character overhauls, showing us just how transformative beauty products can be. She left us inspired to try something a little different from our usual face paint or fluffy animal ears.
Fast-forward a year, and here are a few of my favourite Halloween make-up looks from Instagram. Have a squiz, then scroll down for everything you need to create your own spooky style…
Day of the dead (love the flower crown).
A scarily convincing zipper face.
Bride of Frankenstein (or Fiona from Shrek?)
Probs better than the real Avatar, just sayin’.
When you get stabbed with a pencil…
An enchanting glitter mermaid.
Oh, hey Cruella. #BrowsOnFleek.
Sailor Moon (spooky edition).
My favourite. Srsly, mesmerizing…
Rainbow vomit.
Classic skull game.
The Joker meets cheerleader.
Now, who’s feeling psyched for their very own Halloween make-up look?
Try not to be intimated by the above (remember, many of these ladies are professional make-up artists).
If it’s all too hard, you can always draw on some whiskers and say you’re a black cat.
For anything more advanced, you’ll need beauty products that pack a serious punch. None of this “no make-up make-up” business…

Classic Skull Game & the Joker meets cheerleader would both scare me if someone came to my door looking like that. As for the rest on here they don't look scary enough or look like Halloween one's to be on this page though.

Absolutely nothing appealing in any way, I'm sorry - definitely not my scene in any way.

I like the mermaid and avatar one. I don't do Holloween. Did enough of it living in the USA for 32 years.

Loved all of them and was actually brave enough to try out something cool this year with all the youtube tutorials out there. Liquid latex and creating all of the fake cuts is surprisingly easy (especially considering I'm someone who always failed at art and all things creative)

I love glitter mermaid! Although the other Halloween creations are amazing, some of them are so creepy that I can barely look at them!

Love the zipper face, joker/cheerleader & pencil ones - proper Halloween makeup, not just lingerie & mouse ears!

That one with the pencil! That's seriously scary. Some of the others are also really amazing.
