How To Use Your Contouring Skills this Halloween

PSA: Don't forget to contour this Halloween. Just because you're wearing a costume, doesn't mean you have to forgo an #onfleek contour. If anything, Halloween makeup is the perfect excuse to take your cheekbones to the next level. Contouring is all about creating dimension on the face. Therefore, it stands to reason that adding a contour to your Oct. 31 makeup look is really going to bring your character to life.

Seriously, a little bit of well placed bronzer and highlight can amp up any costume. Zombie Taylor Swift? Add a contour. Sexy emoticon? You better carve out those cheekbones. This is the perfect time of year to play around with your makeup, since there's no such thing as being "over-the-top" on Halloween. If you want to be a football-playing astronaut unicorn, then go for it. Halloween is all about letting your freak flag fly, and creating a look that takes you a little bit out of your comfort zone. And, of course, killer makeup is the key to any contest-winning getup. Here are eight costume ideas that look especially fabulous with a sculpted contour.
