Halloween is one of my favorite holidays of the year, and I know that I'm not alone on this. It's so much fun to get dressed up in costume and parade around town as someone or something else entirely.
Plus, there are usually snacks and treats involved.
But the main attraction of the holiday is, of course, the costumes. Some folks are completely happy just tossing on a pair of kitty ears and painting a triangle on their noses, while others think about their costume all year long.
Both are well and good, but for the people who think about their costumes all year, the price tag on an elaborate costume can be quite extreme.
If you're looking to save a bunch of cash on your fancy costume this year, you may want to think about playing up the makeup and toning down the props. This can save you tons of cash, and have an even greater impact with a full face transformation!
These 13 looks should be more than enough to give you some inspiration for your look this year.
Will you try any? Which is your favorite Halloween makeup transformation? Let us know in the comments!
