Special effects pro Rick Baker has teamed up with makeup giant [MAC](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mac-cosmetics-x-doja-cat) – to create series of scary (and sometimes oddly sexy) Halloween makeup looks. Baker has created three versatile looks: The Zombie, Bride, and Day of the Dead.

Of all these looks, ‘The Bride’ is probably the most wearable and easy to replicate. The look features bold eyebrows, a [blood red lip](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kiss-of-death-lip-oils), and a set of creepy facial stitches. The actual line of makeup includes heavy-duty makeup objects such as acrylic paints and chromographic pencils.

However, a lot of the makeup for all these looks have a great color palette to translate well into your every day look – for instance, the cyber deep plum lipstick can become a fall staple long after Halloween ends!
