Picture this: you’re out at a Halloween party with friends rocking the perfect costume. You’ve got it all down. Everything from the outfit to the detailed makeup is totally Insta-worthy. That’s when it happens. You lose a false eyelash, your face paint smudges — the littlest thing, but after the amount of time you’ve put into your look it feels pretty darn big. Fear not, friends — we’ve gathered up a few beauty essentials for you to have on hand come October 31st. Whether it’s a rogue false lash or a disappearing lip color we’ve got you covered. Here are 19 of our fave beauty bits you’ll be happy you carried with you on Halloween night.
1. Face Paint Pens ($16): Whether you’re a makeup pro or novice, you know that face paint is a must-have on October 31st. These face paint pens are perfect to carry with you on-the-go — not only are they travel sized but the pen shape makes them a breeze to apply whenever you need it.
2. False Eye Lashes ($10): Halloween calls for the drama and perhaps no beauty product brings that more then false eye lashes. The only problem is they have a tendency to, well, fall off. So carry an extra with you to whatever your night entails to ensure you won’t be the Disney princess with only one set of luscious lashes.
3. Duo Brush on Adhesive ($9): Speaking of false lashes, you’re going to need an adhesive to apply them. This brush on adhesive is a great choice not only for its transparent formula but also because of its perfectly sized brush. The small brush will allow you to get as close to the lash line as possible, ensuring long-lasting falsies.
4. Japonesque Go Curl Pocket Curler ($13): No matter if you’re rocking those falsies or sticking with your natural lashes you’re going to want this eyelash curler at your disposal. Travel-friendly and easy to use, this is an awesome little gadget for perfect lashes on the go.

This’ll cover up a blemish or even out your skin in no time flat, leaving you with a blank canvas for all your colorful makeup needs. And the best part: on November 1st you can dab a bit of this under your eyes for a bright and rested look.
6. Maybelline Line Stiletto Liquid Eyeliner ($8): Audrey Hepburn would be proud of the cat eye you can achieve with an awesome liquid liner. This one is super affordable and an absolute breeze to apply. With a thin tip, all it takes is a little swish of the hand to get a long-lasting dramatic eye.
7. Urban Decay Revolution Lipstick ($22): Intense pigmentation and a long-lasting color make this the lipstick to try this Halloween. We suggest carrying it in your purse so you can have the perfect pout all night long.
