Our go-to will always be Kat Von D's iconic 'Tattoo Liner' and it's a must to be reaching for this time of year. Highly pigmented so its as black as our soul, it's also long-lasting, meaning you're not at risk of looking more haunting ghoul than hunting cat.

Blood Red Lipstick Essential for Halloween
We're no stranger to embracing bold lip colours and if there's anytime perfect for wearing a deep coloured lipstick, it's Halloween. Our top pick would be the out of this world Interdit Satin lipstick in 'Rouge' by Givenchy. In the Debenhams winter sale event, you can get 10% off this must-have lipstick and buy for £22.95. Go on, treat yourself.
With its light reflecting pigments, give the illusion of blood dripping from your lips for that sensational vampire look.

Opt for this stunning rouge hue and stake out the hearts of eligible bachelors with one fleeting look.

Sultry Smokey Eyes From the Afterlife
We may have already talked palettes, but who would we be if we didn't touch on the ultimate smokey eye? Not for everyone, but a smokey eye achieved with blacks and greys is the ultimate rock chick look, ideal to bring out for Halloween. And that's why we had to go truly high end with the Yves Saint Laurent 'Couture' palette in 'Tuxedo'.
With 5 perfectly complementing shades, 'Tuxedo' brings together 3 soft greys, from light to dark. The palette also includes a shimmery white ideal for highlighting and brightening the corners of your eyes and, of course, the cherry on top of the cake, a dramatic black. Build and blend a treat and you can re-live your inner goth, misunderstood years. Really, you can never have enough black, smudged make-up on Halloween.

Chisel in Your Femme Fatale Alter Ego with Contour Kits
Just like your eyeliner, your contour isn't perfect in less it looks like you could cut someone on your cheekbones. How do you achieve this? With only the best contour kit of course. Hollow out those cheeks and highlight the tops of your cheekbones for a chiselled look that could cause damage. We think the Mac 'Studio Fix' Sculpt and Shape contour palette is perfect for just that.
Create sharp cheekbones by buffing a natural-looking shadow into hollows of your cheeks and, for that defined jawline, under your chin and jaw. The Mac palette brings together 6 matt shades with a ever so subtle shimmer, great for contouring, highlighting and adding a slight flush if you so choose. For Halloween, we'd recommend fitting in with the rest of the dead and avoiding any blush for this night, though. With Debenhams voucher codes you can even buy for just £31.50, down from £35.

Even if you choose to opt for full costume get-up, these make-up products will help to bring the whole character together without the novelty of face paint and creepy masks. For those classy ladies out there, sharpen your winged liner, get a bit smokey and rock that deep lip.
