And truthfully, we’ve gotten to the point that we’d rather spend money on quality cosmetics that we can wear outside October 31 (or whenever you’ll be celebrating All Hallow’s Eve this year). So in the spirit of getting the most beauty bang for your buck this season, we’ve scouted the 12 products with the best color payoff or the most daring shade range—think glittery crimson or metallic turquoise—to make all your costume dreams come to life.
