I love Kandee’s costume videos! I have most of them saved in a favorites list and they are a joy to watch
. My favorite is probably her Tinkerbell look 
.
These are great! Thank you for sharing!
All of these are very impressive, but I have to admit the Van Gogh blew me away. What an amazing execution of a very unique idea!
I agree, they are great! My list was pretty much the same!
Pixiwoo’s take on the corpse bride is also awesome and missing on this list
They’re so talented
You totally missed out on the awesome tutorials by NikkieTutorials and Pixiwoos, theirs are also pretty awesome
I shared a Pixiwoos’ Halloween tutorial a few weeks ago
What is your favorite Halloween tutorial?
These are all amazing, but I have to admit I’m very disappointed with “The Crow” tutorial, being someone who loves that book/movie and all things related (it’s very personal to me, lol). I was hoping it would be more related to the movie/graphic novel. It’s definitely cool and I love Julia, but just…not what I would expect.
FYI at around 0:58 Julia says it is NOT based on the movie The Crow. Christine, you may want to change your link description to reflect that.
These are all great but I do miss Sunday Link Love…it is my weekend fix.
I’ve loved Dusty’s Halloween tutorials from this year. *nods*
These are all good but you should check out dope2111′s halloween tutorials and her other transformations they’re great
I LOVE this post!! My favorite is The Raven but gosh, all of them have mad skills! They make it look so easy when I know with me any of these looks would take me hours and I’d make tons of mistakes before getting it right!
Such fabulousness! The Van Gogh blew my mind. Wow!!!
Oh, and I have to add that I absolutely love when people step away from ‘pretty’ with makeup.
Those are awesome, but you should also see the Halloween videos of a nice beauty blogger from the other side of the pond, LetzMakeup : http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL085E1691CA48FBB3&feature=plcp
