Remember when getting dressed up for Halloween just meant sticking on a witches hat or a pair of devil's horns? Nowadays costume expectations are sky high and a white sheet and black eyeliner unfortunately, just won't cut it.
For those not already in the know there's a wealth of resources out there ready and waiting to help transform you for the occasion, in the shape of Youtube tutorials.
There's a bevvy of very clever makeup artists who have made a living out of showing off their skills in step-by-step tutorials - usually these take the form of recreating a smoky eye or contouring but for Halloween there's endless videos to help you channel your inner zombie, skeleton, vampire etc.
And even better if you follow the steps, even those with less than proficient skills with a mascara wand will be able to recreate the looks.
Here are some of our favourites:
Lisa Eldridge does Marie Antoinette:
Michelle Phan does Skeleton Watchers of the Night
Julia Graf does scary vampire
Emma Pickles does sexy vamp
Promise Tamang Phan (Dope2111) does Queen of Darkness
Chloe Morello does a bleeding eye socket
Pixi Woo do Poison Ivy
Kandee Johnson does Edward Scissorhands
Jaclyn Hill does a glam zombie
Krystle Gohel does American Horror Story's White Nun
