Halloween Lip Art Tutorials To Transform Your Pout

As Oct. 31 approaches, it's easy to get so caught up on finding the perfect costume that you forget about the power of makeup. Jazzing up your pout with some amazing Halloween lip art can save you when you're on the hunt for a last minute costume idea or you just simply can't be bothered with putting together a crazy look.

As impressive as a full face of paint and special effects makeup sounds, not everyone is a pro artist when it comes to Halloween looks — and you don't always have the time and resources. Focusing all of your creative juices on a single feature like your lips can still make a big statement. With plenty of captivating looks to choose from, the right lip art can show off your skills in a major way.

Nothing is off limits when it comes to a good Halloween lippie. Before you know it, your smackers could be covered in all of the glitter, fake blood, and spikes money can buy. Sure, you'll probably have to avoid drinking, eating, and making any sharp mouth movements. But if you take on any of these 15 lip art tutorials, you'll be turning heads all night this Halloween.
