With Halloween coming up fast, it's time to hone in on which costume you'll don to impress your friends on Oct. 31.
One way to transform yourself, with or without an elaborate costume, is with makeup and a few clever accessories. A quick face-painting job can pair great with an all-black outfit to look extra creepy while trick-or-treating, or you can go full-on and become a whole new creature with a little extra effort thanks to pre-made kits such as the "Corpse Bride" option from Spirit Halloween.
If you're still not sure of your costume but want to explore your creativity, pick up a top-tier kit like the 30-color palette from Mehron that has enough color combinations to let you try a dozen or more looks on for size before Halloween arrives.
Whatever look you choose to wear, we've got the best makeup products and helpful accessories to help you start your journey. Keep scrolling to see our top picks!
