Halloween is the perfect day to play around with your ‘do. Achieve the longer locks you’ve always wanted with a clip-in ponytail like Scunci's extra long version in dark brunette ($39; claires.com) or ExpressLocs's clip-in option in dark blonde ($25; sallybeauty.com), both of which are easy to apply and comfortable.

Colored Extensions

Add a pop of color into your costume with color clip-ins. We love the bright, fun colors of Secret Color's headband hair extensions ($15; sallybeauty.com) and POP's color strips extensions ($10; ulta.com).

Nothing screams “boo” like a fierce, dark lip. Try out a gloss like Hard Candy Fierce Effects Daring lip gloss ($4; walmart.com) or a matte lip with Kat Von D Studded Kiss lipstick in Slayer ($26; sephora.com) to bring some intensity to your pout.

Create the Halloween costume of your dreams (or nightmares) with an easy-to-apply face makeup crayon. Opt for metallic (Claire's, $13; claires.com) or primary colors to create a bright, electrifying look ($6; partycity.com). Best of all, they're perfect for tossing into your candy bag for on-the-go touch-ups while Trick or Treating.
