Being one of the most recognisable brands in the cosmetics world, it’s no surprise that M.A.C. employs some of the industry’s most talented makeup artists.

But while M.A.C. counters are pretty much everyone’s go-to for a solid smoky eye and a decent spot of contour, behind the scenes its MUAs are working on some incredibly creative projects.

With Halloween just around the corner, the “MacSeniorArtist” hashtag is throwing up some pretty impressive costume ideas on Instagram.

From creepy clowns and withered hags to bejewelled sea creatures and movie-worthy aliens, check out some of our favourite M.A.C. looks below.

 

• HALLOWEEN IS COMING • repost from @stephanie_montes Yesterday I did this makeup on the lovely Stephanie for the @thezoereport Facebook Live page. We had loads of fun and talked to people live whilst doing it! My first time doing that!  This look was inspired by a clown, but not literal, as you can see!  #seniorartistsslayhalloween #seniorartistsslayhalloween #maccosmetics #macseniorartist #reflectsblueglitter #reflectsverypink #relectspink #reflectspearl #whitepigment #shiny #whiteacrylic #studiosculptfoundation #44lashes  #invisiblesetpowder #colour #color #purple #lilac #blacktrackfluidline #retromattelip #pretty #makeup #makeupartist #beauty #beautyblog  #myartistcommunity #macpigment #eyeshadow #makeupaddict @maccosmetics#colour #color #spooky #makeup #makeupartist #beauty #beautyblog  #myartistcommunity #macpigment #eyeshadow #makeupaddict @maccosmetics #glitter

• HALLOWEEN • last one of these! Close up of mine. I'd love to see this on a dark skin, change it all to real skin tone as a base, but have all the details bronze, chocolate, gold, copper instead of Pearl and white. Rich dark chocolate brown lipstick on the lips, with #ReflectsBronze pressed on top. The last touch – have a friend blow #reflectsgold over the entire face! Someone do it and tag me!!

It's safe to say any Friends fans would love to spend a moment in the famous Central Perk, have a few sips of coffee and hear someone sing a rendition of Smelly Cat.

However, if you're a Friends fan in Singapore, you're going to be bitterly disappointed.

The "official Central Perk" made an announcement yesterday that in November 'Central Perk SG' will open in Singapore, but you'll have to pay a pretty penny to gain membership.

The coffee shop is charging 1000 Singapore dollars (€660) for "exclusive benefits" in the cafe.

According to the cafe's Facebook page, the membership will include a priority queue, invites for five guests, table reservations, event bookings and access to pre-launch parties.

We don't know about you, but there's no hope in Hell we'd pay that much. Sorry Friends, but you lost us here.

Fans were shocked last month when rumours started to emerge that St Vincent was dating Kristen Stewart. After all, St Vincent had only broke up with Cara Delevingne a month beforehand.

But now it seems the pair are smitten with each other as they made their first public appearance together.

The women made their debut at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Show in Hollywood yesterday.

They arrived together and sat beside each other as they enjoyed the show with other celebs including Emma Stone and Katy Perry.

Even though the romance seemed quick, they both look pretty happy together.

We just wonder what Cara thinks about it…

With enough detective work, you can, according to the six degrees of separation theory, connect yourself with anyone in the world through no more than six people.

And while that seemed totally out there a few decades ago, the advent of social media has really reinforced the reality of the notion.

From Facebook to Tinder, you're connected to countless strangers through mutual friends, family members and work colleagues, but the idea of any one of them having been in your home without your knowledge is a creepy one, right?

So, it's no surprise one guy in the States was left pretty freaked out when he matched with a girl named Jenna Zagrodniczek on Tinder, and quickly realised her profile photo had been taken in HIS bathroom.

Taking to Twitter, 19-year-old Mark Kowalczyk shared side-by-side snaps, and wrote: "I've never see this girl before and yet, her tinder profile picture is in my bathroom."

Unsurprisingly the tweet was widely circulated and eventually came to the attention of Jenna who decided to freak Mark out even further by sharing another snap of herself in his home.

But before you go changing your locks and deleting your account, it turned out Jenna had been at a party in Mark's house and the pair hadn't managed to cross paths.

How big is that gaf?!

If you have a Tinder story as creepy as Mark's which you'd like to share with our SHEmazing! readers , please click here – we’d love to hear from you, and you could be in with a chance of winning €250!

Uh, Enda Kenny thinks Irish people need to talk about pornography… but the public don't seem too happy about it.

According to the Independent, the Taoiseach thinks there needs to be a national conversation about how porn is damaging the minds of the Irish youth.

While at a launch for a free helpline for victims of crime, Enda said: “Our young people are growing up imagining that what they see on the screen might be normal sexual behaviour.

“There has to be a discussion about this in terms of families and children and the kind of society that is evolving.

“What used to be termed as ‘lads magazines’ have grown to be replaced with pornography that’s as ubiquitous as it is damaging.

“Our young people that are growing up, imagining what they see on a screen is normal sexual behaviour, there has to be a discussion about this.”

However, over on Twitter, the public had a few things to say about Enda's thoughts:

What do you think of this?

Earlier this week, Niall Horan left us blushing when he revealed to Ellen DeGeneres that Ellie Goulding would be his dream date.

Granted the This Town singer was caught in a game of Who’d You Rather with the comedic host, but after a round of quick fire questions, Ellie turned out to be the One D star’s perfect match.

Since the Burn songstress briefly dated the 23-year-old singer back in 2014, fans quickly began to speculate that Niall may still have feelings for his famous ex.

Last night the Mullingar man did little to dispel that belief, as when faced with having to eat beef tongue if he refused a question from James Corden, Niall admitted he would choose to spend his last night on earth with Ellie Goulding instead of his other ex, Selena Gomez.

As part of The Late Late Show’s Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts segment, James posed the question: “You’ve dated both Selena Gomez and Ellie Goulding.  It’s your last night on earth.  Out of the two of them, who would you rather spend it with?”

After much thought – and lots of laughter from his co-stars – Niall confessed: “Because it’s the last night on earth, Ellie is a big fan of Planet Earth by David Attenborough so I would sit and watch that with her.  For that reason, Ellie Goulding.”

And just like that, we're in tears!

If you wants the goods on a celebrity, you watch Ellen, and if you really want the goods, you watch her Never Have I Ever segment.

Lobbing intimate questions at her A-list guests, Ellen is a pro at getting them to spill the deets, and her latest one with Martha Stewart, Snoop Dogg and Anna Kendrick was no different.

But while Twitter is in meltdown that domestic goddess, Martha, has sexted and lived it up at a nudist beach, personally we think Snoop was the unsung hero of that segment.

From happily revealing he's returned items to a store after wearing them – "Those shoes were hurting my feet!" – to admitting he's used his fame to get out of trouble – "Oh boy!" – the rapper definitely hasn't been given enough props in the Twitosphere.

Thankfully, it looks like the studio audience is with us on this one.

After years of watching our mothers fall on an icy G&T with the same excitement we reserved for a white Magnum, we suddenly realised what all the fuss was about.

And after graduating from warm cans of cider and flat beer, we discovered gin… and never looked back.

And while some SHEmazing! HQ  ladies – who shall remain nameless – consider themselves total connoisseurs, it turns out they’re not as clued-up as they think when it comes to what makes a great gin.

Thankfully for us, however, Aldi definitely is.

Boyle’s Premium Small Batch Irish Gin, which will be sold exclusively in Aldi stores nationwide as of today, has just won the coveted Best Irish Gin Award at the Irish Whiskey Awards 2016.

Commenting on the selection process, the judging panel said: ““Every year we see more and more releases in the Irish craft gin sector.”

“The quality of some of these products is outstanding and it demonstrates the skills of the new breeds of distillers around Ireland. Made by Blackwater Distillery in Waterford, our judges were impressed by Boyle’s fruitiness and balance.”

Coming in at €24.99, we’re stocking up and celebrating the Bank Holiday weekend in style.

It doesn’t take much to send the internet into a frenzy these days, does it?!

Yesterday, we had those oily legs but before that it was all about the blue and black dress that left EVERYONE stressing out – and now we have the Bill Murray Tom Hanks debate.

A photo posted to the Facebook group Reasons My Son Is Crying in 2013 – which resurfaced on Reddit yesterday – shows the star standing behind a crying kid.

And it has left everyone second guessing themselves as no can decide if it is Bill Murray or Tom Hanks.

Bill Murray or Tom Hanks???

"Clean shaven Tom Hanks yelling for 'Wilson' in 'Cast Away,'" wrote one confused Reddit user while another questioned the entire thread: "What are you talking about? That kid looks like neither of them…. neither does the woman."

As usual Twitter was having a field day and, to be fair, the tweets are probably the best part of the whole thing.

Oh, it's Bill Murray by the way!

If we thought the video for Taylor Swift's Bad Blood was a low blow, it's nothing on Katy Perry's latest social media contribution.

While attending a Kanye West concert this week, the Teenage Dream singer decided to record herself enjoying one of Kanye's most controversial tracks – Famous.

And for anyone who has been living under a rock for the best part of a year, this track – and one particular lyric contained within –  almost signalled the end of Taylor Swift's career.

After strenuously denying claims she had given a derogatory lyric about herself the go-ahead, leaked footage courtesy of Kim Kardashian revealed that Taylor had been telling some fairly hefty lies.

Looking pretty happy with herself, Katy pulled faces into the camera as she swayed to Ye's "I feel like me and Taylor might still have sex / Why? I made that bitch famous" line.

And while some social media users have slammed Katy for the move, others have been quick to defend her.

"Omg Katy is so childish" and it wasn't childish when Taylor made a whole song and MV to drag Katy? And she worked so hard to make it #1?" countered one fan.

Your move, Taylor.

The extreme skill of make up artists never ceases to amaze me, and this year's biggest Halloween trend is no exception. 

Several CRAZY talented Instagram beauty bloggers have been trying out a new trend and their results are incredible (and spooky). 

The trend is to create a floating head illusion, and we simply cannot look away.

It is a trend that many of our favourite beauty ladies have attempted, including Victoria Whitlow, Roxxsaurus and Paige Wright. 

 

Another #halloweenmakeup look!  Completely OBSESSED with these "headless" looks if y'all can't tell… After doing my "floating head" a few weeks ago, I assume this is similar to what it would look like if your head REALLY came off! Inspired 100% by @monomolove ! This was by far the EASIEST makeup I have EVER done.. No joke 5 minutes TOPS! Anyone can do this, but getting a white background to look good… Took me 30 minutes! I don't have a clue HOW these people do it and if anyone has any tips please let me know…I had to do some serious editing to get this to look right! If you decide to try this at home just know a silk white sheet will NOT do the trick!! LOL! (P.S a ton of you are tagging me in some crazy cool stuff that I don't have the supplies for at home so just a side note I HAVE ordered some liquid latex, scar wax, and 3rd degree and it's supposed to arrive at the Wright residence tomorrow! So I hope to try some crazy new things and come totally out of my comfort zone before the month is over! And who's to say I will even stop after October ends! Thanks so much to everyone giving me ideas!)

The experts insist that while the look is super impressive, it is not particularly difficult to achieve. 

Would you try it?

She’s well known for her elegant feminine style, but that doesn’t mean Holly Willoughby won't be playing dress-up this Halloween.

Appearing on this week’s episode of Celebrity Juice, the This Morning presenter channelled her inner rebel by wearing what is likely to be one of this year’s most popular costumes, Suicide Squad’s Harley Quinn.

The 35-year-old mother of three embodied Margot Robbie’s character perfectly with fishnet tights, dip-dyed pigtails, red and blue co-ords and a decorated baseball bat.
