Halloween style doesn't begin and end with your costume. Though some might be busy looking for the scariest or sexiest Halloween outfit out there, your face can be the most important place to transform! Here are our top 10 beauty picks that will make everyone go gaga over your getup.

Smoke & Mirrors:

Don't be scared to bring the drama! Playing it safe is what the other 364 days are for. Tonight is all about a dark eye and intimidating pout. Rapper Eve can tell you that smoky eyes don't have to be limited to blacks and grays, and Too Faced's Smoky Eye Palette ($35, toofaced.com) has enough mix-and-match shades to give any girl sultry eyes that pop.


Long after trick-or-treating is over, a deep, dark cat eye will make you look extra sweet for that late-night Halloween fete. To copy Beyonce's dramatic look, use an eyeliner brush to swipe Bobbi Brown's Long-Wear gel eyeliner in Black Ink ($21, bobbibrowncosmetics.com) across the lash line for a demure daytime look, then smudge it on lids in the evening to give your eyes a little edge.

Crimson Tide:

Take a page from Rihanna's book. With the way boys succumb to a crimson lip, you'll wonder why you're not an extra on 'True Blood.' Make Up For Ever's Moulin Rouge lipstick ($15, sephora.com) will turn your pucker blood red without drawing real blood. Nars' Velvet Matte Lip Pencil in Forbidden Red ($24, narscosmetics.com) helps you avoid running to the bathroom every half hour to reapply your lipstick.

If your complexion is darker, tone down bright red shades by priming lips with a brown pencil, as supermodel Alek Wek demonstrates. Try lining lips with Bare Escentuals' 100% Natural Lipliner in Earth ($11, sephora.com) and topping with MAC lipstick in Ruby Woo ($14.50, maccosmetics.com).

Batter Up:

Who says lashes are only for celebrities and cabaret singers? A full, dark lash will enhance any eye and take you from daytime drab to nighttime fab. Illamasqua's No. 11 falsies ($14, illamasqua.com) add an outstanding peacock-blue tint to your peepers, while Lash Addiction's Booty Call falsies ($6, lashaddiction.com), gives "natural" a whole new meaning.

Too scared to glue on false lashes? Lancome's L'Extreme Instant Extentions Lengthening Mascara ($24.50, lancome-usa.com) creates fool-proof length and volume without any messy application process.


All-Over Glow:

Make that angel costume a little less innocent by rubbing MAC Glitter ($19.50, maccosmetics.com) all over body, face and hair.


Pearl-fection:

That morning coffee and office Halloween candy can really damage and darken your pearly whites. Stash a Colgate Wisp ($8, drugstore.com) or two in your party bag and beat cavities on the go.

Feeling Cheeky:

Regina King's freshly pinched cheeks shows that a little rouge goes a long way. Channel your inner diva with Lorac Baked Matte Satin Blush in Hollywood ($24, loraccosmetics.com)


Cheap Treats:

If you're not usually a makeup fiend, one night of fun shouldn't break the bank. Add subtle sparkle on a budget with Wet N' Wild's i-Shimmer Retractable Eye Pencil ($2, drugstores everywhere).
