Warning: Some of these looks are too believably gruesome.

This week Donegal Woman put a call out to local makeup artists to showcase their talents – and we were amazed (and terrified) by the quality of work sent in.

It’s safe to say there will be some truly gruesome faces about for Halloween 2017 as local MUAs’ brush up on their cuts, scars and stitching skills. We also had beautiful looks, illusions and brilliant character makeup sent in for features. Thank you to everyone who contacted us so far and frightened the bejesus out of us.

We were overwhelmed with the creativity displayed by everyone and have decided to feature five MUAs in posts at 5pm in the run-up to Halloween.

Take these images as inspiration for yourself, or if you want to book the talented artists to do your makeup you can contact them via their social media profiles.

Here is today’s Frightful Five at Five:
