I can’t remember any year that I wore a mask for Halloween. They are hot, stuffy and smell weird. It’s makeup all the way for us. I love a good creepy costume with an equally Halloween makeup. Thank goodness for the Internet and its wealth of creepy Halloween makeup tutorials. Some of the ones I found are genius and truly scary. I’d freak out if one of these creatures showed up at my door!
If you’re still not sure what your costume will be this year, check out these 25 creepy Halloween makeup tutorials. Some of them look so realistic that I had to look away! I think it would be fun to try a few to see if you can recreate the same effect at home.

Some of these are very creepy. I always make a mess of it when I try to do Halloween make-up, not talented in that at all!
