Halloween may be months away, but the greatest costumes are thought up in the summer. Pulling inspiration from the latest TV shows streaming on Netflix and other major pop culture moments, there's no shortage of Halloween costume ideas out there to re-create — even if it's just for a party over Zoom.

Whether you plan to socially distance hang with friends in a face mask or want to organize your own Zoom Halloween party, you shouldn't let the situation stifle your creativity. Look at it as a challenge to up your makeup game and put your skills to the test. If you do plan on celebrating the holiday over Zoom or simply by snapping a selfie to post on the 31st, this year will be more about the hair and makeup component of costumes than ever before.

Of course, creating a unique beauty look is made 10 times easier when you have a stacked collection of Halloween makeup and hair products to choose from. While your regular foundation, concealer, and even eyebrow products will do the trick, costume makeup usually requires a few additional beauty products that you may not already have in your arsenal. Temporary hair dye and glitter, anyone?

Even if you're still in the brainstorming stage of costume prep, it can't hurt to start browsing for new Halloween makeup and hair products to help your creation come to life.
