East Lothian make up artist shows how to make jaw-dropping Halloween look from home

Most of us are happy if we can pull off some cat whiskers or a dodgie looking scar with our Halloween make up.

But an East Lothian make-up artist puts everyone to shame with her spooky masterpieces.

The Instagram star, Ellie Hand-McCready, has racked up over 357k followers with her ghoulish tutorials and transformations.

From a Tim Burton corpse bride to a zombie unicorn, the Dunbar make-up guru has been keeping fans entertained with her ghostly glow ups.

The 22-year-old has now teamed up with Samsung to help everyone through some spine-chilling make-up looks.

In the tutorial clip, Ellie used make-up and body paint to create a spine-tingling skeleton illusion that is the perfect terrifying fright-night look.

The social media sensation reveals she had started experimenting with spooky make-up for her school Halloween disco and hopes to one day working in special effects for TV and film.

It comes as a recent study by Samsung showed that 56% Scots think Halloween is more fun than Christmas and put more effort into decorating the house during spooky season.

Plus, despite current coronavirus restrictions, more than half of Scots polled said they will still be dressing up at home.

And it maybe comes as no surprise that 40% of Scots said they are drawing inspiration from hit Netflix show Tiger King for their Halloween costume - so, expect to see a few Joe Exotics and Carol Baskins.
