These are the products you need for #flawless Halloween makeup

Halloween makeup is *so* much fun, and the perfect addition to any DIY (or store-bought) costume. Unfortunately, it comes at a cost. By the end of the night, you're up to your ears in candy—and smudged mascara. Thankfully, we've rounded up the best beauty products to keep your makeup looking *perfect* until curfew.

Start with primer

Before you apply any makeup, make sure to wash your face and use a moisturizing primer. It's best to apply makeup to a clean face, and primer is a makeup must if you have a long night ahead of you. It gives your makeup something to cling to, and is especially helpful if you have oily or combination skin. Check out these primers we love...

Clear e.l.f. Hydrating Face Primer, $5.49

Neutrogena Healthy Skin Primer SPF 15, $11.97 

Apply setting powder

After applying all that gorg Halloween makeup, it's a good idea to use setting powder. Setting powder blurs any lines your skin and acts as a shield over your makeup, meaning you can run from house to house trick-or-treating and then party it up at your Halloween bash without any foundation creases. Here are a couple setting powders we recommend...

LA Girl HD PRO Setting Powder, $4.99

Sephora Smoothing Translucent Setting Powder, $16.00

Set it with some spray

Finishing with setting spray secures all that loose powder that you just used, which will *really* prevent your makeup from smudging and smearing, no matter what the night throws at you. Not only that, it just feels amazing to spray on your face—super refreshing! We love these sprays...

Wet n Wild PhotoFocus Setting Spray, $4.68

Maybelline® Face Studio Master Fix™ Setting Spray, $8.59
