7 Five-Minute Halloween Costumes (Under $20)

The Black Swan

You don't need to be a professional (or even handy with an eyeshadow brush) to get an incredible look with eye makeup. These appliqués—printed with everything from feather designs (at left) to leopard spots—are foolproof. Press the oval shape onto your lid, gently smooth it across, peel off and set with powder. Share a box with your sister or a friend (we like the animal- and nature-inspired versions) and get exotic-looking eyes for less.
