Every Weird Lipstick Shade You Need This Halloween

Costumes are essential for Halloween, but makeup plays an equally important part. You don’t have to be a professional makeup artist to intensify your look; create lots of drama by simply rocking a bold lip color! It's important to remember that this holiday is all about self-expression, so sheer lip gloss and lip balms won’t cut it. Whether you're handing out candy to the kiddies or crashing a party with friends, vibrant is best and all "normal" beauty rules can be thrown out the window, . We’ve got the brightest and coolest lipsticks to compliment your villainous, ethereal and haunting costumes just ahead. Pucker up!
