The best Halloween make-up ideas from Instagram

Halloween is almost upon us, making for the perfect excuse to try out bold or statement looks and play around with striking colours and patterns. 

From spider web eyeshadow to Day of the Dead-inspired skulls, we take a look at the best Halloween make-up on Instagram... 

Play with bright colours and bold patterns like @beautycoachev23 in a tribute to Mexican Day of the Dead festivities. 

For a statement make-up look that's easy to remove at the end of the night, take inspiration from @erika.fx's stunning spider lashes. We love the way she's used a mixture of black, white and grey eyeliner to create a very realistic 3D effect too! 

The gorgeous @desiperkins has sparked a major Halloween trend this season with this 'melted make-up' effect - a brilliant spooky update for a beauty tutorial!  

Take your eyeliner to the next level by turning it into a spider web pattern like @s_squeak. 

Put your contouring skills to the test like @sammyleitte_mua and use shading and highlighting to sculpt your face to create a dramatic base for a skull-inspired look. 

We're loving @lijhajade's spooky bold smokey eye make-up paired with white mascara and shimmering frosty lipgloss. 

Channel your inner Margot Robbie and opt for Suicide Squad's Harley Quinn-esque make-up - @daiscosplay has given us serious inspiration with her flawless look. 

@alovilla_ has added a twist to a classic cat look with hints of shimmering gold liner and bold gold lips. 

For an easy way to master a statement sugar skull finish, @whoissamruh used a striking white base and kept her patterns with black and red make-up. 

Show off your dark side inspired by Natalie Portman's iconic Black Swan make-up like @loup_weez.
