With Halloween just days away, Brits will be considering what to dress up as for the spooky night of partying.

If you left it to the last minute and are frantically trying to put something together with what’s in your wardrobe, makeup could be the way to go.

A British beauty influencer has revealed a quick and easy makeup hack to get you looking terrifying in no time, and all you need is something from your kitchen. 

It’s also an affordable option if you don’t want to splash out on a costume – just pair the spooky face look with clothes you already own.

The TikTok by @lenkalul has been seen by a massive 9.6 million people in less than a week, with users calling the hack ‘so smart’.

In the video captioned ‘easy Halloween makeup hack using a fork,’ the TikToker holds up a fork and a red lipstick.

She rubs the lipstick onto the back of the prongs of the fork, about half way down, before taking it to her face.

The influencer gently presses and wipes the back of the fork against her cheek, creating the illusion that she’s been scratched.

It already looks realistic, but to make it more effective she takes a small paintbrush to smudge out the edges.

She also adds brown eyeshadow on top to add depth to the wound, as well as splattering some fake blood on there for added affect – not to worry if you don’t have fake blood, you can still achieve the look without it.

Viewers quickly took to the comments to praise the hack and tag their friends.

One user wrote ‘The fork is so smart,’ while others added ‘Best Halloween makeup’ and ‘I will try this for Halloween’.

Another makeup fanatic commented ‘tip: use some wax/gelatine/latex to give it some depth’ while a fan added ‘So good !!!! Keep the hacks coming’.

It comes after another beauty influencer shared her secret to creating the illusion of realistic fake blood, using just dry shampoo and red hairspray.
