Thanks to social sites such as Facebook, Pinterest, Instagram and Twitter, I have been enlightened as to the number of talented makeup artists out there. With All Hallows Eve lurking around the corner, check out these ten Instagrammers and get inspired by the goulishly gorgeous Halloween Makeups they create.
Halloween Makeup Artists On Instagram
Some of these folks are professional make-up artists and body painters with large followings on various social media channels. Others are impressively self-taught and some have yet to be discovered. Those with YouTube links listed below their work offer online video tutorials for these looks.
The following makeup artists are my personal choices for some of the best. The number of followers had nothing to do with my picks.

I owe my finding many of these incredible makeups to one of Instagram’s most heralded MUAs (that’s Make Up Artist for you laymen), professional body painter and artist Jordan Hanz. Hanz created “Hanzoween” – 31 days of Halloween makeups accompanied by online tutorials for her fans and followers. Tagged with #HANZOWEEN, I found some of the best Instagram MUAs. Another resource was Theater and SFX makeup company Mehron, who has also launched their own 31 Days of Halloween Make-Up Challenge . Other then that, I simply searched for #HalloweenMakeup on Instagram to find these talented people.
