The creepy looking crowd were a group of students from TAFE NSW Orange's Certificate III in Beauty Services.

With Halloween fast approaching, they decided to get in the mood for some trick or treating by practicing creating simple Halloween makeup.

"It falls in line with the photography makeup unit that we are learning within the class," said TAFE NSW Hair and Beauty teacher Shawnee Faul.

"It's so they know how to prep for photoshoots and backstage and things like that.

"It was just a nice opportunity to bring in the theme, being this time of the year, and it's nice to have a bit of fun with it."

Students drew their inspiration for their looks from horror movies like It as well as social media: "I think TikTok's a really big thing at the moment," Ms Faul said.

"There were a lot of clowns, some angels versus devils, and we had the plastic surgery gone wrong look."

Ms Faul was made up as 101 Dalmations villain Cruella De Vil.

For those looking for some DIY make-up inspiration for Halloween, Ms Faul said there was no need to rush out and buy special supplies.

"You'd be surprised at what you can do with what you've got.

"Everyone's got a stash of glitter and everyone's got eyelash glue and if not there's a lot of party supply places that can get you over the line if need be."
