Makeup is about to be your best friend.
By Michelle Li, Teen Vogue
Here's a scenario we're all too familiar with: It's the week before Halloween and you don't have the energy to conjure up an elaborate, spooky costume. It's an investment to buy a full-on look that won't have much lasting power post-Halloween, so this year we're relying on everyday makeup to get our point across. A little goes a long way here. You may even already have the tools you need to get the desired look, or the palette you need is just a Sephora or Target run away. The best thing about letting your make-up do the heavy lifting when it comes to Halloween costumes is that after the trick-or-treating is over, you can still use the products afterward.
We would probably wear most of these looks regardless of Halloween, but sometimes you need a little push to get the creative juices rolling on fun makeup looks. Tone it down (or not) for daily wear, realize you actually have a use for white eyeliner, and start applying that pigment in your eyeshadow palette that you've always wanted to try! 'Tis the season to get wild with it.
Scroll for six creative looks we're attempting to try this Halloween!
