Beauty

Ghost & pumpkin nails

Tiny white ghosts, orange jack-o'-lantern faces, and candy-corn gradients on a nude or black base. Press-on kits make the look fast and reusable for next October.

Beauty

Blood-drip & spider webs

A red-to-black blood-drip gradient or a white spider-web French tip reads instantly from across the room. Seal with a glossy top coat for a wet, freshly-bitten finish.

Beauty

Special-effects makeup

A white face-paint base, black hollow eyes, and a red 'blood' accent turn any costume into a vampire, skeleton, or zombie. Water-activated palettes are budget-friendly and wash off easily.

Beauty

Dramatic false lashes

Spider-leg, bat-wing, or feathered black lashes add instant drama. Trim to fit, apply with lash glue, and pair with a smoky eye for a finish that survives the whole party.

Beauty

Coraline button eyes

Paint small black buttons over closed-eye lids for a Coraline-inspired look — a cult-favorite aesthetic that photographs beautifully and needs only eyeliner and patience.

Beauty

Glitter & gems

Face glitter, rhinestone freckles, and adhesive face gems add sparkle to any look. Use cosmetic-grade glue only, and press gently so they last through trick-or-treating.
