Mehron really does reign supreme: The company’s Paradise paints earned three shout-outs - from content-creator–slash–cosplayer Dakota Alexandra, Supalo, and Wells. ![]() “If these paints can hold up through a three-hour Shakespearean ghoul fest, they’ll be fine for Halloween,” she says. Perkins even used it for an all-nude production in which every actor was a cadaver. In our guide to the best Halloween body paint, Rebecca Perkins of Rouge NY (fun fact: She was tasked with making corpses look real on Law & Order: SVU) told us she considers it the next best thing to professional airbrushing. This isn’t the first time we’ve heard about the brand’s Liquid Makeup. Mehron’s colors are very workable, meaning you can add as many layers as needed. This paint contrasts with cheaper alternatives that contain alcohol-based ingredients, which dry out your skin more than any other makeup, Wells adds. Supalo praises its performance - the paint is designed to be smudgeproof and long-lasting - while Wells compliments its water-based formula.

Doing a full face of Halloween makeup can feel daunting, however, which is why what you use is as important as how you use it. But if you’re planning on something slightly more involved - like a powdered pre-Revolution Marie Antoinette, a smoky-eyed Robert Pattinson-as-the-Batman, or Stranger Things’ Vecna sipping a venti-size cold brew - cosmetics can take your costume to the next level. Some Halloween looks don’t need much in the makeup department - if you’re going for A League of Their Own, a vermilion pout is enough to get Greta Gill’s grin just right.
