Fact: makeup isn't just a finishing touch on a Halloween costume. Sometimes it's the most important part of a look. Makeup can also save the day when you're trying to put together a last-minute (yet still impressive and creative) getup.

So, if you still haven't decided what you're dressing up as this year or just want to be prepared for a spontaneous party, it's not a bad idea to keep your makeup bag stocked with some staples, like a red lipstick or black eyeliner.

Another simple solution is to pick up an e.l.f. Cosmetics Halloween makeup kit. These super-affordable kits are curated with everything you'd need to create a specific look. They're also customizable, so you don't have to purchase every item in the curation if you don't need or want to.
