    Stuck for Halloween make-up ideas? We've got it covered with our simple, step-by-step tutorials.

    Our Beauty Assistant Alix gets an Illamasqua Halloween beauty makeover

    Who doesn't love Halloween make-up? If we could get away with a full face of make-up and glitter every day we would be all over it. Sadly, the day job won’t allow for such extravagance, so when Halloween comes around we like to unleash our pent-up make-up frustrations and go all out.

    This year it was Illamasqua to the rescue when they popped by Marie Claire HQ to give the full Illamasqua Halloween makeover treatment to some keen staffers. If you fancy trying out a scary look too, pop by an Illamasqua counter, where you can choose between four Halloween looks - two of which we have created here for you. Enjoy!

    See more Halloween makeup ideas inspired by the A-List, to go with your costume this year.

    Halloween Make-Up idea: Violetta

    That highlight! That glittery lip! Thank the make-up Gods (Illamasqua that is) for this somehow scary but sexy vampy look.
