When it comes to costumes that need a little extra spook, Halloween makeup is your secret weapon. For the little ones, a pirate moustache, cute cat whiskers, or zombie stitches can be easily achieved with a quick stop at Big W for face paints.

 

For the young-at-heart, go all out with a dazzling ace of hearts look complete with a bejewelled heart over one eye, or keep it classic with a ruby red lips and a vampire’s signature blood drop.
