The Hunger Magazine 'Epitaph' editorial showcases a range of [masked makeup looks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/masquerade-mask-1) that anyone would want to don for their next [halloween costume](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/da-de-muertos-collection). Or, more accurately, the Mexican Day of the Dead (Dia de Los Muerto) festival since the looks were inspired by the event. Taking place on November 1 and 2 of this year, people have some time to get their chosen mask down pat.

Shot by photographer Rankin, the Hunger Magazine 'Epitaph' editorial showcases the stunning work of Beauty Editor-At-Large Andrew Gallimore. The two had previously teamed up for the Alive In The Face of Death exhibition, which further inspired this latest collaboration. The photoshoot stars models Ellen Burton, Helena McElvie and Georgie Hobday. Hairstylists Susi Lichtenegger & Shukeel Murtaza finished the looks.
