Seven Deadly Sins - LUST (Gore Warning)

This tutorial features a dramatic SFX and glam makeup look inspired by Lust from the Seven Deadly Sins concept. The creator blends high-fashion beauty techniques with horror elements including foam clay sculpting, body paint, and Skin Illustrator for a gory, editorial result. Spray-painted twigs and eerie contact lenses push the look into full dark fantasy territory. The finished character balances seductive glamour with visceral, unsettling detail.

EASY GAME OF THRONES MAKEUP NO PROSTHETICS | Grayscale

This tutorial demonstrates how to recreate the stone-like greyscale skin condition from Game of Thrones using paint and skin-safe silicone rather than traditional prosthetics, making the look more accessible to everyday Halloween enthusiasts. The artist builds up convincing rocky texture directly on the skin and unifies it with a desaturated, color-graded makeup finish. A conventional beauty makeup is applied to the unaffected areas to contrast the diseased effect. The result is a screen-accurate character look achievable without a full prosthetics kit.

How to Make Mermaid Gills | Halloween Special FX Series 2016

This tutorial from Madeyewlook walks viewers through creating realistic mermaid gill effects using sculpting wax and alcohol-activated paints. The look is built up in stages — shaping wax into gill slits, blending edges seamlessly into skin, then painting for a convincing aquatic texture and color. An optional blood paste step and a bent paper clip can be used to push the effect into darker, more dramatic territory for a 'hooked mermaid' concept.
