In our latest TikTok Creator Spotlight, we sat down with @illumin_arty to find out what inspires her ghoulish creations and what has been her favourite Halloween look...

Where does the inspiration for your looks come from? 

Sometimes inspiration comes from really random places such as TikTok trends. I remember when I transformed into peppa pig, it's still one of my most liked videos! I'm a big fan of moodboards and drawing so a lot of the time that's where my inspiration comes from too! 

What is your favourite Halloween look you've ever done?

Definitely my harry potter skeleton inspired by marvolo gaunts ring (one of the horcruxes). It took me over ten hours and I was so sure I couldn't pull it off but I did!
