Let's be real for a minute: in a world of Instagram, Drag Race and Heidi Klum, Halloween has elevated over the years. Long gone are the days you can just chuck a bed sheet over yourself and call yourself a ghost for a couple of hours down the pub. If you're looking to wow with a look during spooky season nowadays – and you don't have access to Kardashian-esque glam squad – you need to at least make sure your costume is original and on point, and your makeup, fierce and striking.

We're exhausted thinking about it, frankly. Sign us up for a night in with the heating on and a seventh re-watch of Hocus Pocus 2.

But don't fret, if you've already committed to plans (and in turn that inevitable pre-night out Instagram shot that goes with it), then here's some Halloween make-up tutorials to ensure you slay them all dead.
