8) Embellished Doll Make-Up
Creepy doll make-up doesn't always have to be totally horrifying. Give yours a pretty twist with pearl embellishments in tear drop shapes. Finish with too many barrettes and far too much blusher and you've got AW19's update on the classic Halloween doll look.

9) Ventriloquist's Dummy
What's creepier than a doll? One that a real life human operates like a puppet via their nether regions... Keep your make-up wide eyed, seriously contoured and with a few porcelain style cracks to add a dash of 'so lifelike it's scary'.

10) Doll Make-Up But Make It Hot
If, like us, you're into Halloween but also want to vaguely resemble an actual attractive human rather than a creature from the deep, doll make-up is the one for you. Simply paint on stitches in place of your usual contour, add long fluttery doll-like lashes and finish with a pretty bow.

11) Coraline Three Ways
Choose from original Coraline's button eyes and signature blue bob, her eery stretched grin counterpart, or the full-on pieced back together dead doll skeleton depending on how scary you want your doll make-up to go this Halloween.
