Our Favorite Allure Best of Beauty 2023 Winners for Halloween

I love Halloween. Love it. And, as a hard-haunting, ghost-hunting, year-round fan who works in the beauty industry, there's nothing I love more than when my autumnal fixation intersects with my job via Halloween makeup. At Allure, Halloween fever is practically a rule, as you can see reflected in our enthusiasm for roundups of scary-cute nail-art ideas, comprehensive lists of unique dress-up ideas, and makeup-only Halloween costumes for the ghoulish-yet-creative procrastinators among us. Halloween fever is practically a rule, as you can see reflected in our enthusiasm for roundups of [scary-cute nail-art ideas](, comprehensive lists of [unique dress-up ideas](, and [makeup-only Halloween costumes]( for the ghoulish-yet-creative procrastinators among us. What’s one horror trope you’ll never see us excited about? Bad beauty products. (OK, not the best segue, but you see where I’m going with this…) Spending money on something that doesn’t work as promised? SpoOoOoky, indeed. Fortunately, our [2023 Best of Beauty Awards]( is chocked full of editor-tested, Allure-approved products that’ll give you what you need on October 31. Whether you’re planning an [elaborate costume]( that calls for all-out lips, lids, and lashes for a party or aiming for a simple, sparkly look to wear as you watch scary films and hand out candy, our winners have got you covered. Here are a few of my favorites. [Clinique Almost Lipstick in Black Honey]( ($21): A subtly striking classic lip color that looks amazing with everything and on everyone. Excellent for a chill evening with popcorn and a spooky movie. (A few recommendations from yours truly: You’re Next, Train to Busan, and—of course—Halloweentown.) [Half Magic Chromaddiction Matte Eye Paint & Liner]( ($25): An unbelievably bold lid paint that lasts for hours and hours—through monster mashes, graveyard smashes, and beyond. [Patrick Ta Major Sculpt Crème Contour & Powder Bronzer Duo]( ($40): A jaw-defining, cheekbone-sharpening set of complementary colors. It comes in five pairings, so you can pick according to your skin tone and undertones. Apply with a lighter or heavier hand, depending on your desired result and costume. [Bakeup Playbox by Jo Baker]( ($24): A surprisingly extensive collection of face gems that adds oomph to any look. [Juvia's Place The Candy Shop Palette]( ($25): A deliciously bold eye shadow palette with the color payoff and staying power to match. [Pro Lash Classic Luxe Wispy No. 15]( ($70): Love false lashes but hate to apply them? Same here, friend. It’s rare that I recommend a set of lashes—I’m a pragmatist, and most people find the application process confusing!—but this set (a one-month supply of three pairs) is wonderful for beginners and experienced users alike.
