Makeup Expert Shaaanxo Nails A Spooky Halloween Costume With A Pencil Through Her Cheek

We've seen some truly chilling makeup tutorials in the months leading up to the Halloween season from some of the most talented makeup artists on web. Sultry vampires, terrifying detached limbs, and spooky manicures have all wowed us with their transformations.

A recent YouTube video from BeautifulYouTV blew us away with its creepy tutorial for a fake nail-through-your-fingertip costume. And one of our favorite beauty vloggers Shaaanxo created a terrifying stapled face look that left us with chills, but wowed us with her makeup prowess.

She's back with yet another incredible tutorial for a pencil through your cheek (not a real one, of course — but it'll sure turn heads with how realistic it looks). This gruesome look gets paired with your regular day-to-day makeup (or as fabulous as you'd like it), so it has a ton of potential for making it your very own.

Here's what she says you'll need, per her video's description:

  • Basic “full face” of makeup
  • Pencil
  • Lash glue
  • Scar wax
  • Fake blood
  • Teeth blood

Shannon swears by Ben Nye’s scar wax for making this look possible (and we definitely take her word on it — I’d say that’s the one thing you should splurge on, if anything, and it’s only $12). Good luck with making your friends squirm!
