With trick-or-treating and parties just around the corner, these Halloween makeup ideas will definitely match a newly inspired, unique costume idea to help you stand out from the crowd.
Every year, we see the typical ghosts and witches for Halloween and it can get a little boring for regular partiers and candy hunters. Although not everyone likes to be the same thing for Halloween every year, people envy others' costumes because it was too brain-racking to think of new ideas for ourselves. Ranging from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland-inspired tutorials to Joker's sinister scars, Happy Potter and The Avengers-inspired eye shadow and even signature anime eyes, here are some great Halloween makeup how-tos and inspirational galleries to help you become the envied one at this year's Halloween party.
