As the countdown to Halloween continues, the pressure to choose the right costume is mounting. Sure, you could raid your closet for black clothes and go as a standard witch, or you could simply throw a sheet over your head and call yourself a ghost, but where’s the fun in that? Luckily, you don’t have to be a professional makeup artist to pull off a stellar Halloween look. These 10 tutorials show you how to create looks creepy enough for an adults-only party and sweet enough for your kids to wear to school.
