Watch: Going "Guardians of the Galaxy" Green for Halloween

The most kick-ass heroine of the year? Guardians of the Galaxy's, Gamora, obviously.

So no offense to Wonder Woman and Batgirl but this Halloween we're going with Zoe Saldana's universe-saving assassin.

Now costume-wise, Gamora isn't that complicated. Any black, skin-tight leather ensemble should do. It's the makeup that's going to take a bit of effort.

You see unlike a wicked witch you can't just spread green paint over your face and call it a day.  To truly recreate the Marvel character, you've got to get the details right.

And to do just that we had Mac Cosmetics senior makeup artist Caroline Donnelly film a step-by-step guide. The process? Surprisingly simple. The transformation? Out of this world.

Check out Gamora's makeup tutorial above and see a list of all the products used below.
