Sometimes, for Halloween, you've just got to go big or go home. If you're racking your brain for some decent makeup looks to copy, let us help you out a little.
Whether you want to go small or go to the extreme, we've got plenty to inspire you for your next Halloween party - even if it is on Zoom.
Looking to the celebrities, how about dressing up like Margot Tenenbaum like Holly Willoughby once did, or Sandy from Grease like Gigi Hadid? Or what about styling yourself like Angelina Jolie in Maleficent - we love actress Grace Elizabeth's attempt. If you want to go for something a little more fun, look to Sarah Michelle Gellar when she did unicorn face paint...
Heidi Klum's shimmering gold makeup
You can't mention 'Halloween makeup' without paying tribute to Heidi Klum. The supermodel is notorious for her extravagant costumes and she goes all out when it comes to 31 October. This is one of our favourite looks of hers, mainly because it's probably the easiest to recreate without the help of a professional! All you really need, aside from an ornate headpiece, is gold glitter, black eyeliner and a ton of glittery setting spray.

Kendall Jenner's Barbie-inspired makeup
We love Kendall Jenner's 2018 Halloween look so much! It's like Barbie wandered onto the set of Austin Powers and became a fembot. From the exaggerated bouffant hair, flawless complexion and pink pouty lips to her Romy & Michelle-inspired pink sheer and feathered negligée – Kendall nailed this look.
Demi Lovato as a zombie
What could be more frightening on Halloween than dressing up as a zombie? Demi Lovato nailed her undead look back in 2013, adding lashings of fake blood, fake cuts and bloodstained clothes. And when it comes to this look, there's no such thing as too much setting powder – just make sure it's white for extra ghostly definition.

Can we take a moment to appreciate Maya Jama's Mermaid makeup, please?

Oh and don't get us started on that turquoise wig!
Holly Willoughby as Dorothy Gale from The Wizard of Oz
From her auburn wig to her perfect french plaits tied with baby blue ribbon, there's no doubting who Holly was for Halloween. Perfectly nailing Dorothy's youthful glow with her natural makeup look. Holly wore a peachy blush, a subtle pink lip and lightly smoked eyes to achieve the perfect Wizard of Oz look.
