11 Of This Year’s Best Halloween Beauty Tutorials

There’s no arguing that Halloween is one of the best days of the year, but unfortunately, it has a habit of rolling up way too fast. If you’re anything like me, you probably told yourself you were going to get your makeup and outfit prepared beforehand, way beforehand, but you just, well, lost track of time. Before you know it, it’s an hour before you have to leave for that party, and you’re still scrambling for something to wear.

So, how do you get through this stressful situation and show up to the event looking your best? Like in many other situations, makeup is here to help. Whether you want to go all-out or don’t even plan on wearing an actual costume, makeup is a great (and, oftentimes, totally easy) way to achieve a killer Halloween look, even at the very last minute.
