TikTok celebrates spooky season
TikTok is celebrating Halloween this year with terrifying effects to help users embrace the ghoulish spirit of the season. The best part of Halloween is dressing up – the detailed and horrifying makeup and the scary costumes really set the mood for the holiday.
And weeks before October 31st, you’ll want to decide on what it is you exactly want to dress up as, and TikTok can help with that. New effects by creators such as “random Halloween eyeliner” and “random Halloween face” can help decide your next look.
