Blood Red Lipstick
Red lipstick can lend itself to a wide variety of Halloween costumes, from a scorching hot devil, to a vampire or a 1950s movie star. We’re partial to the Giorgio Armani Beauty Lip Power Longwear Satin Lipstick in 404 Tempting, a richly pigmented wine shade.

Glitter Eyeliner
Fairy, mermaid and disco ball costumes call for tons of glitter. Top a traditional black liner with the Urban Decay Heavy Metal Glitter Eyeliner for a subtle dose of sparkle, or use it by itself for more drama.

You’d be surprised how many looks you can create with just a few bold eyeshadows. The NYX Professional Makeup Jumbo Eye Pencils come in a rainbow of shades and have a creamy, blendable consistency that lasts all night.

Whether you’re drawing on spiderwebs or kitty whiskers, black liquid liner is an everyday staple that’s also a must for Halloween. We love the ultra-fine tip and 24-hour staying power of the Maybelline New York Hyper Easy Liquid Liner.

Dramatic False Eyelashes
Is there a pair of falsies in your makeup collection that you typically shy away from because of how bold they are? Halloween is the perfect opportunity to take them for a spin. The Glamnetic Lush Magnetic Lashes are a striking 17 millimeters long and attach easily with a swipe of magnetic eyeliner.
