Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Face Primer
Primer is important as the base to any good look (costume or otherwise) because it helps the makeup stay in place. (Plus, we also love using this stuff to remove makeup mistakes too, like when mascara gets away from us.) This face primer from Benefit Cosmetics is amazing for heavier makeup looks associated with Halloween, as it will help it stay in place through any party or long night on the town.

Ardell Fake Eyelashes
Whatever look you are going for, Ardell eyelashes are a great way to make your eyes pop this Halloween. Whether you want lush lashes or something more fun, Ardell is the answer. We are a fan of some of their more fun and flirty styles, which include lashes with rhinestones on them, extra long lashes, and extreme mink lashes that are full and dark.

Kylie Cosmetics Halloween 2018 Palette
This palette made the cut of our must-haves from Kylie Jenner’s Halloween collection for a reason. This is the perfect palette for any costume or look. Not only is it a quality eyeshadow palette, but the colors are perfect for darker looks and designs. From the vibrant gold to the deep purple, there is something about this palette that screams spooky.

With a scarlet red and a deep mahogany at your disposal, you can make sure your lips are not forgotten as you complete your sexy vampiress or naughty vixen looks.

Urban Decay Vice Lipstick Comfort Matte – Perversion (black)
If your Halloween look requires something bolder than a sultry red or a deep mahogany, then look no further than Urban Decay’s Vice Lipstick in Perversion. This black lipstick is a true black shade that will make any costume look complete. And with this lipstick, you know that the color is going to be bold, while still staying on your lips while you party the night away. You’ve never looked so haunting!

Dashing Diva Press On Nails
Your nails are just as important to a solid costume as the regular makeup you are applying. But, if you don’t want a manicure that lasts for a few weeks (depending on how often you hit up the salon), we recommend press on nails from Dashing Diva. Whether you want black, red, or any other design, there is a press on nail for you. And if you decide you like the look, you can usually get a solid week of wear out of these amazing press ons.

BH Cosmetics Galaxy Chic Baked Eyeshadow Palette
While we already mentioned one eyeshadow palette that is perfect for Halloween, we can’t forget that not all looks we want to create are going to be on the darker side. And thanks to BH Cosmetics’ Galaxy Chic palette, you can create a whole host of looks. Whether you want to go as a unicorn, a fairy, or a mermaid (or really any number of other characters), this palette is a perfect choice. There are 18 shades that can be used wet or dry, and with some celestial colors in the mix, you can be sure that there is a color or two that are just right for you.

Kat Von D Ink Liner
Plenty of Halloween looks are going to require a defined eye, and that means breaking out the eyeliner. Step in Kat Von D’s Ink Liner! This is one of the best eyeliners around and the fact it comes in eight shades means you can create the look you want in one go. (Pro tip: Use this ink liner to create designs on your skin — think stars, stripes, and hearts.)
