It's officially October! And as well as embracing warmer coats, the chillier air, and darker evenings, we need to start thinking about Halloween.

There's no denying that the costume ante has been upped in recent years – meaning a black-plastic sack and a witch's hat just ain't gonna cut it.

So if you're stuck for inspiration, YouTube has a load of oh-so amazing clips which show you how to create seriously spooky looks at home.

We have seen a huge amount of makeup tricks and tutorials. To be honest we’ve actually lost count of the amount of makeup artists we follow on Instagram. Yet we still struggle with the ‘simple’ smoky eye look.

This tutorial however is probably one of the most inventive we have seen in a while. This makeup artist can create some incredible eyebrows where there are literally no eyebrows.

We feel like the ‘trippy double vision’ look is bound to be a winner this Halloween.

She doubles her facial features using makeup so that it seems as if you’re seeing two of her. She goes so far as to glue eyelashes onto her cheeks.

While the tutorial itself is kind of mind boggling, we are also loving how she took it out onto the streets in the daylight to see the reactions she would get. That’s dedication, and it is also hilarious.

Writing on her Facebook page, Tamang Phan, she noted that: “staring at it too long can make your brains hurt. So beware. Drawing a double of everything in your face takes patience but you will turn heads.”

We don’t doubt that.

Jordan Hanz in a 24-year old make up artist who shares her amazing make up skills and transformations on Instagram with 250,000 followers.

Her incredible fantasy-inspired make up looks can take between three and five hours each to create and they are actually mindblowing. She has got some magic skills with a contour brush, she really does.

For her newest project, Jordan chose to create a video that shows how derogatory labels can have a powerful affect on women. Speaking to Buzzfeed Life she explained that she was "watching the VMAs, and saw Amber Rose's statement outfit," she then became "instantly inspired by her."

Her idea then became a reality when she spent hours and hours creating a stop-motion video where hurtful words would appear on her body. She used makeup body paints to write the words whcih signified the stereotypes she felt she and the women in her life have had to fight against.

"As a woman who speaks out against others, I've often been called a bitch," she explained, "There is such a double standard when it comes to powerful men and women."

As the video goes on many words appear on her skin, Jordan says the phrase which was most difficult for her to write was 'asking for it'.

"After I was assaulted, I was made to feel that it was my fault. Victim shaming and slut-shaming is something that I want to break down."

She then removes the words and explained the message behind the video as this:

"If we love each other, and have unbreakable self-love, NOTHING can hurt us. We are strong, bad-ass women that are ladylike as f**k, because WE choose how we see ourselves."

Lady Gaga’s latest single ‘Til It Happens to You was recorded for a documentary set to be released later this year called The Hunting Ground.

The documentary, according to Entertainment Weekly is focused on “the campus rape epidemic facing colleges” in the United States. The video appears to have made efforts to stay close to the theme of the documentary as it takes an unflinching approach to sexual assault.

A title card before the video beings reads:

“The following contains graphic content that may be emotionally upsetting but reflects the reality of what is happening daily on college campuses.”

The video was directed by Catherine Hardwicke of Twilight and Thirteen fame. It depicts college students experiencing assault in terrible but unfortunately all too common situations.

“Til it happens to you,” Gaga sings, “you don’t know how it feels.” 

Nicki Reed is one of the stars to take on a role in the powerful video. According to the video’s YouTube page, a portion of the proceeds from the sales of the single will donated to organisations aiming to help victims of sexual assault.

Earlier today, Gaga tweeted a message which appeared to aimed at supporting any and all victims of sexual assault:

Two years ago Ali and Andrew broke up after being together for seven years.

A project called The And has reunited them to allow them to ask questions to which they wanted the most honest answers possible.

Things then got very real, and incredibly emotional very quickly.

Andrew insisted that he never slept with anyone else while he and Ali were together, but their question and answer session turned some painful insights for Ali.

She did admit that he wasn’t solely to blame for their problems, but that doesn’t make anything hurt any less, for either of them it seems.

While there were many tears shed (ours not included) they pair were able to share some happier memories. They both even admitted to wanting to get married at some point or another while they were together.

If you think you can handle more of the feels, then you can watch part two of their story here. Or if you’re a real sucker for punishment, you can see how more couple reacted in the same situation here.

It seems that often the things we love the most are the things we are warned to indulge in sparingly.

Coffee and chocolate lovers however can now rest a little easier with the knowledge that their favourite habits are probably not as bad for you as others would have you believe.

The people at AsaspSCIENCE are back with a video that is debunking some interesting foodie myths. As it turns out, your chocolate habit would need to turn into an extreme snacking situation before you ran the risk of accidental death.

But did you know that cherries are a completely different story?

Just one wrong bite can deliver a lethal dose of cyanide, which is to be found in the pit of the cherry. Something to be aware of next time you get a craving.

The video also reminded us something we probably all already knew at this point, but appreciate being confirmed: sleep is really really important. Currently a man holds the record for being able to go without sleep for just over 11 days. While no very serious long-term effects were documented, it is definitely not recommended.

So, we are free to drink our coffee and eat our chocolate in peace. However, being tall and eating cherries are suddenly not looking so appealing.

Kim and Kanye – the love story: he popped the question just months after her divorce from Kris Humphries had been finalised.

Surrounded by their close friends and family, the intimate and special moment was, of course, captured by the Keeping Up With The Kardashian cameras.

Significantly, however, it was a milestone that wasn’t shared with viewers until February 2014 – a full four months after the event actually took place.

So understandably when unauthorised footage of the proposal was leaked online via video-sharing platform MixBit, the couple was furious.

Still, today they both can be a little less irate: they’ve been given €390,000 in compensation by Chad Hurley, the founder of YouTube and MixBit, and the man who captured the incident.

TMZ reports that Kimye had claimed in legal documents that Mr Hurley had manipulated his way into AT&T Park in San Francisco back in October 2013 to witness Kanye's proposal.

And even though he signed a confidentiality agreement, Chad still secretly recorded the video, later posting it to his site.

The West’s lawyer, Eric George, claimed that the web entrepreneur was desperate to make his then just launched video-sharing company a success: he’s a multi-millionaire following the sale of YouTube to Google in 2006 for €1.45bn, but he’s since struggled to replicate that with another online winner.

Mr Hurley now only has a few days to cough-up the six-figure sum, though MixBit pays him an annual salary of €4m and he’s worth €315m on the back of the YouTube sale, so we reckon he won't be too hard up afterwards.

When model of the moment Karlie Kloss announced earlier this month that she was starting a YouTube channel called Klossy, it sparked much debate about whether or not YouTube was a viable source for models to gain exposure. 

While social media sites such as Twitter and Instagram are great for getting your name out there, it seems YouTube offers them a more unique outlet of expression. 

So we did our own digging around – finding a few amazing models just like Karlie who have their own YouTube channels.

Read on to meet the models of YouTube

 

Ruth Crilly

Between all the makeup for fashion shows and photo shoots over the years, models practically become beauty experts. Ruth Crilly's experience in front of the camera led her to start her own YouTube channel dedicated to product recommendations. You will see her sampling countless products from perfumes, to lipsticks and moisturisers. This girl knows her stuff!

 

Taylor, Logan and Mackinley Hill

The Hill sisters started their YouTube channel to document their journey from high school students to top models. With Taylor tapped to be the next Victoria's Secret Angel and sister Mackinley following shortly behind her, the sisters have charted every moment via their online channel. They also take time to answer questions from aspiring models. 

 

Alexandra Elizabeth and Harleth Kuusik

Alexandra Elizabeth was on YouTube well before she became a model but initially she focused more on dance than fashion. Now that she's on the runway she captures all the moments with fellow model Harleth Kuusik. From all the backstage chaos and international travel that comes hand-in-hand with their job, this channel gives you some great insight to the world of a top model.

 

Dauphine McKee

This blonde beauty gives a little bit of everything on her YouTube channel from modelling advice to make up reviews and even the occasional song cover. A medical degree is also on the horizon for Dauphine so expect to see a lot of health and fitness reviews coming along soon.

Ask anyone who has ever had them and they will tell you one thing is for sure: braces are very expensive.

However, it cannot be stressed enough that taking matters into your own hands with regards your teeth is just not an option. That has apparently not stopped some teens from attempting to try their hand at some DIY orthodontic work.

One YouTube blogger has posted a video which she calls “Cheap easy braces!! Without going to the dentist!!!!”

If anything this video has proved social media has got some seriously scary power these days.

The video has almost half a million views to date. In it, the blogger uses tiny elastic bands to basically tie her teeth together in order to close the gaps between them.

She tells her fans: “It’s gonna hurt, especially for the first few days.” She says that they shouldn’t give in to the pain thought because “it’s totally worth it in the end.”

This is not the only video online which is promoting the DIY trend, unfortunately.

Last September the American Association of Orthodontists put out a consumer alerts which advised individuals that using “gap bands” was a terrible idea.

One of the horrible side effects of this worrying trend? Your teeth can fall out! You only get one set of teeth people, this is not something to be tried at home.

Also worth noting: dentists and orthodontists go through years and years of training before anyone lets them correct any dental issues you may have, so maybe tiny plastic bands are not the next best thing.

It just doesn’t seem worth the risk ladies.

That awkward moment when you forget to plug your headphones in is not fun for anyone.

It can be even worse when you’re in class.

Which was exactly what one University of Sydney student learned when his classmates caught him watching something very NSFW in a lecture.

While their professor was busy working his way through some PowerPoint slides, some very erotic sounds start filling the crowded lecture hall.

The student seemed to be completely unaware that the rest of the room could hear the audio accompanying the pornographic video he was watching.

However, when he does realise he’s been caught out it gets worse before it gets better.

After making several frantic attempts to turn the laptop off, which fail miserably, the student who has remained nameless, quickly grabs his stuff and bolts out the door. His classmates very nearly give him a standing ovation.

Smooth.

Apparently though, the whole ordeal was a stunt designed to fool his fellow students. We weren’t so convinced either.

But it turns out that the clip is from a collection put together by Aussie student Jamie Zhu as part of his ‘Awkward Uni Situations’ video.

Angelina Jordan from Norway is fast becoming a YouTube sensation, as her performance of What A Difference A Day Makes by Dinah Washington goes viral.

The eight-year-old songstress swept her nation away with her strong and soulful voice but is now making herself known all over the world through social media. 

With nearly two million views on YouTube, Angelina is being compared to the late Amy Winehouse and even sports the same look with a gorgeous beehive hairstyle. 

One user on YouTube said: "She reminds me of Amy Winehouse so much it's painful", while another wrote: "If Bjork and Amy Winehouse had a child".

In 2014 Angelina won Norway's version of Britain's Got Talent, called Norwegian Talents, but up until now she was only well known in her country. The performance, filmed at the fortress in Halden, Norway, begins with two backing singers singing opening notes and when Angelina joins them onstage, the crowd goes crazy.

Technology and lots of it!

That’s what one young Irish lad has on the top of his list of things to change if he was given the chance. The possibilities really do seem to be endless for this group of creatives.

A clip by Youth Tuber has revealed what some of Ireland’s kids would most like to change about the world if they were in control. Another says they would want “food, money and houses for everyone”.

The usual chocolate rivers and water parks all over the shop also made appearances. One wise young soul also voiced what the majority of our population would do given the opportunity.

“I’d definitely change the weather, it would be full sun and full snow.”

We couldn’t agree with him more.

The adorable video is just one of many on the channel where Irish kids share their opinions on various topics every week.
