Spooky skillz

For when a pair of cat ears, a bin bag witch’s cape and a load of toilet roll to turn you into a mummy just aren’t up to scratch, this is the only Halloween tutorial you need to see this year.

Vancouver makeup artist Mimi Choi has totally redefined horrifying Halloween looks for 2017, with this faceless illusion that’ll leave you feeling freaked out and maybe even a little bit sick.

IT’S JUST SO GOOD. Even if it is gonna give us nightmares for years.

What's a face? 🤷🏻‍♀️ • This is #makeup • A FACELESS makeup illusion inspired by #SalvadorDali's Bronze Sculpture - Surrealist Newton. If you look closely, you will see my features disguised in the black and red paints. This is not photoshopped - I will post a video after. Used @kryolanofficial Aquacolors and @makeupforeverofficial Flash Palette for this piece. This took 1.5 hours. @oakridgecentre @chalirossoartgallery #definitelydali

Perfect for those mornings when you wake up and realise you’re having an ugly face day, Mimi’s mindblowing faceless creation transforms her lovely mug into errr… well, it’s literally a black hole of darkness and dispair.

CUTE. So Autumn '17.

Done with nothing but some seriously pigmented makeup and facepaint (there’s no Photoshop involved), Mimi’s awesome Halloween look takes inspo from an equally faceless Salvidor Dali sculpture.

Who feels this way when you see fried chicken and ice cream? 👅💦 Painted this long ass #tongue using @kryolanofficial Supracolors, shaded with Kryolan matte eyeshadows. I was baking a cake for my parents and I got annoyed by how my tongue wants to taste everything when I shouldn't so I decided to paint a tongue. Inspired by a digital art piece by Oleg Duo. _________________________________ What are some of the #Halloweenmakeup looks you'd like to see from me this year? ❤️ #halloween #halloween2017

You make me #melt like butter on toast. 🍞 • This is #makeup • EXTREME MELT makeup #illusion using @kryolanofficial Supracolors and Aquacolors. I felt very inspired after seeing Salvador Dali's original masterpieces at @oakridgecentre today. This was inspired by #Dali's famous #meltingclock. ⏱ #halloweenmakeup #halloween2017 #mimleshalloween #meltingface

This is MAKEUP 👁👁👁 • "Don't give people so much power over you that their silence leaves you questioning your worth." • COPY AND PASTE #multipleeyes and brow makeup done on myself using @makeupforeverofficial ink liner, Aqua XL pencils and Aquarelle. Brows were painted on using Aqua Brow 25. Definitely not the most realistic looking but that was the best I could do after 3 illusions that day. Took around 1.5 hours. As @satsukisoma said to me, sometimes you feel like you're going to have a nose bleed from what you're doing but you just gotta keep going. 😂

A quick browse through her crazy talent on Instagram will give you all the spooky inspo you need this year, with crooked faces, dripping facial features, extended tongues, mirrored eyes and even a jenga face all to marvel at on her account.

Right, well this probably means that a couple of drips of fake blood and some black eyes aren't quite gonna cut it.
