Stuck on what to be this Halloween and looking for some last minute inspiration? Amanda Chapman is here to help. This incredibly talented makeup artist might be a Christmas baby, but her favorite holiday happens to be Hallow's Eve and for good reason. This year she has challenged herself to create a different look for each day in October.
Amanda Chapman has completely outdone herself. She transforms herself into realistic versions of pop culture characters from The Mad Hatter to Poison Ivy and Edward Scissorhands. Interestingly, this project was born out of tough times when her husband was diagnosed with cancer.
With no formal training, Amanda Chapman, says, "I watched a lot of YouTube tutorials. And I also studied a lot of behind-the-scenes photos of the actual films that the characters are in, and seeing what techniques they used."
