Oct 24, 2012
Aside from giving us good reason to cook up all sorts of spooky sweets and shop for totally impractical things like a plastic bow and arrow (stay tuned!), one of our favorite parts of Halloween is the makeup. All you really need to take any costume to the next level is the right makeup and face paint, and sometimes the makeup is so good that you can skip the costume all together.
Here are 15 of the hottest Halloween makeup looks from all over the web.

Nothing says beauty like taking a cue from Daryl Hannah in Splash or good old Ariel. For the look on the left, be sure to check out our whole roundup of fun braids. And for the look the right, use netted material to get the scaly look! (via Anna Marie and Our Vanity)8-Bit Low-Res
We said it before and we’ll say it again. This pixelated look is our JAM. (via Gizmodo)Owl
Hoo’s there? Your gorgeous owl face! This definitely takes patience, feathers, and a LOT of eyelash glue. (via Taylor Arts A Bit)Dias de Los Muertos
For a spin on the classic Dias de Los Muertos like, go for a two-face look. (via Misty Spinney)Skeleton Makeup

Ok ok. We know this isn’t exactly a tutorial seeing as we’re showing a still from the actual movie starring Elizabeth Taylor, but honestly, there is no better Cleopatra look out there. (image via io9)From Your Site Articles
