For SFX-lovers, Halloween [1] is an opportunity to combine an obsession with both gore and glam. We've been scared by fang faces [2] and Pennywise makeup [3] straight from our nightmares. We've even been freaked out by SFX makeup being removed [4]. But if a full face of SFX makeup isn't your thing, why not dip your toe into gore with just eye makeup?

The SFX winged liner was the creation of Rebekka Theenaart [5], also the mastermind behind the gory eye makeup [6] that made us squeamish. It doesn't stop at winged liner, either. Others have done a literal cut crease that gives a whole new meaning to the technique.

Read ahead to get inspiration for a gory eyeliner look that'll spook people this Halloween.
