All right, witches, it’s time to take a break from wedding planning because spooky season is upon us. And, let’s be real, Halloween may just be one day, but if you’re watching decorating your house with beware signs, a ghost tablecloth and a six-foot Dracula or Frankenstein, ensuring it smells like pumpkin spice in every room with dozens of candles, and watching your fave Halloween movies (me: watching Hocus Pocus at least a dozen times before Halloween, thanks Freeform)…..wellll….. you’re likely also scrolling through TikTok and Pinterest, trying to figure out what your costume or couple’s costume should be. Or even more work, planning a Halloween bash. Yikes! So, yes, it’s not just a day, it’s a season. YW.

Every year I search cosmetic companies (Macy’s, especially) for boo-tiful Halloween makeup (sorry, had to be candy corney…oops, did it again). After all, makeup *makes* the outfit. You can wear a pair of jeans and a shirt (because you can do chill on Halloween) but amp up the makeup and you’ve got yourself a winner. Plus, you can never go wrong with a wicked good eyeshadow palette and purple lipstick. No, black lipstick. Never mind, green lipstick. See, told ya, I can’t decide (good thing I’m starting now). And if you’re still not sure about shopping for Halloween makeup, then let me introduce you to MAC Cosmetic’s Glitter Tears (here’s their how-to). If I wasn’t already sold, these would’ve done it for me. They’re spooky good.
Scroll through our Halloween makeup edit. Which one do you dare to wear?
