The Best Halloween Hair And Make-Up Products To Buy

Whether you’re tentatively awaiting trick-or-treaters, getting spellbound by a head-twisting horror movie (most likely behind the safety of a blanket wall, in our case) or partying into the dead of night, Halloween is undeniably a top tier holiday. But, as the end of October grows near, many of us self-proclaimed seasonal procrastinators, whose plans were once riddled with fully realised head-to-toe transformation concepts, are now scurrying back to the drawing board to decipher what hodgepodge DIY costume can be brought to life from a mixture of wardrobe destruction and simple, yet scary make-up looks.

But never fear! Regardless of whether you’ve mastered the intricate techniques behind trippy illusion make-up, or you’re happy to just pull out an Addams Family-approved lipstick colour and call it a night, having the right beauty products on hand is all it takes to pull together an impressive (and undetectably last minute) costume.

From high-tech brush-on colours that turn lacklustre strands totally iridescent with just a blitz of a hairdryer, to a liquid eyeliner whiskers job Karen Smith would be proud of, if you haven’t gone your look mastered from the chin down, we say there’s no shame getting your hair and make-up hocus pocus on and diving into Halloween head first.

Celestial shimmers, glow-in-the-dark nail polish and tonal palettes you’ll still reach for even after the 31st? These are the best Halloween make-up and hair products for a seriously supernatural look you won’t have to lose sleep over.
