Have you left your Halloween prep until the last minute again? Yeah, same. But never fear – there's a whole load of easy-to-do looks that involve a makeup staple we all own: the humble liquid eyeliner.

This trusty tool can achieve far more than just your everyday cat eye look. So, if you’re in a bit of a tizzy about what you can conjure up, check out some of the best Halloween looks that use eyeliner. Saving you more than just a pretty penny or two, these makeup-focused looks help you to nail this year’s Halloween festivities without stepping out of the house.

1. Lace

Warning: this one requires a VERY steady hand. If you’re up for the challenge, watch renowned makeup artist Hindash create a gothic lace look that pairs perfectly with that new LBD you bought.

NYX Professional Makeup That's The Point Eyeliner

For edges that are that sleek, you need an ultra-precise pen. The NYX Professional Makeup That's The Point Eyeliner is perfect for creating sharp edges and thin lines.

2. Batwing

If you’re after something a little more lowkey, this is the look for you. After nailing the winged liner, it just requires a few additional steps.
