We Love These Hocus Pocus Makeup Tutorials Like Winifred Sanderson Loves Her Book

Halloween is just around the corner, which means it's time to start brainstorming on everything from decor to food to the most important part of the holiday: costumes. When it comes to our favorite parts of Halloween, the movie Hocus Pocus immediately comes to mind. Hocus Pocus is easily one of the greatest aspects of Halloween. The beloved '90s movie makes Salem, MA, look like the cozy-meets-creepy town of our dreams and offers plenty of puns as well as impeccable performances from Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker (at the start of her career)! Basically, it's the perfect Halloween movie for people who hate scary movies.

Because the movie is such a classic for Halloween, the film's Sanderson sisters make for some pretty incredible costume inspiration. If you're looking for inspiration when it comes to creating the perfect hocus pocus costume or even if you're just looking to add in the finishing touches to your hocus pocus makeup, we've got you covered. Ahead, we've rounded up some of our favorite tutorials that replicate the one-of-a-kind looks of Winifred, Sarah, and Mary Sanderson.
