You know better than anyone that, when it comes to Halloween, clothes make just half of the costume. Makeup is hugely important, and most of the time, your everyday stash of rosy pink glosses and tinted lip balms just won't do. You need a lip that captures the drama of your costume, whether it's an enchanted mermaid, a blood-sucking vampire, or your favorite Disney villain. You need to visit the dark side. Whether it's a bruised purple or Poison Ivy green, these lip shades are up to the challenge of creating a vampy, Halloween-ready face that's equal parts sexy and haunting. Are you ready to rock a power pout?
Blood Red
Orange and black? Nah. Dark, grungy blood red is really the undisputed champ of Halloween hues, in part because it's so versatile. Whether you're going as a ravenous zombie caught midsnack, a wicked witch, or a flapper girl with a wild streak, this deep garnet shade is your new best friend. And, yes, it comes in handy should you decide your too-tame Supergirl getup needs a horror movie twist.

Bold Blues
Step right up, all you Elsas, sexy aliens, mermaids, and Kylie Jenners. Intense indigo lipsticks are a bold way to go this Halloween. Shades range from pale, icy blues to Technicolor turquoise to blue-black navys, allowing you to tap into your mystical, playful, or slightly villainous alter ego.

Purple Punch
Long regarded as regal and passionate, purple can also read vixenish come Halloween night. Go bright and bold to go as Rihanna or your favorite Jem character, or deeper for that evil queen, Disney bad-girl getup. Look for rich berry shades and dark, bruised-looking hues for a vampy style that stands out.

Feel like going goth? Up the ante via an inky black lipstick that works for witches, vampires, superheroes, rock chicks, and more. If you're feeling more "wildlife" than "wild," take note. Black lip color can also be used to transform yourself into a panda bear, kitten, or other furry creature. Let your creativity run rampant.
