Makeup transformations: Halloween edition

By now we’ve seen our fair share of male make-up transformations, but when it comes to Halloween it’s women who excel in the beauty department.
On the eve of the year’s spookiest night, make-up artist Kandee Johnson has blown the bh office away with her character overhauls, showing just how transformative beauty products can be – and inspiring us to try something a little different from our usual face paint or talcum-powder-on-the-face look.
After all, why would you emulate a stock standard ghost or ghoul when with some precise contouring, you could look like the illustrious Elsa from Frozen?
Here is a selection of my favourite looks from the make-up guru:
A real-life Barbie:
Daenerys Targaryen from Game of Thrones:
The Hunger Games’ eccentric Effie Trinket:
The Black Swan (I could hardly spot the difference):
A blue-haired Kylie Jenner:
To get a show stopping Halloween make-up look, you’ll need make-up products that pack a real punch. NYX’s theatrical Primal Colours Face Powder is great for creating a variety of spooky special effects, while the Face of Australia Lip Paint will deliver a strong, bold lip that’ll stay put all night.
Are you experimenting with your make-up look this Halloween? What other characters would you like to see Kandee copy?
