Autumn has commenced, and with us now having fully reached October, that can only mean one thing: It's spooky season. This month is the perfect excuse to experiment with makeup and beauty all in the name of Halloween, though that doesn't mean you still can't embrace understated beauty routines for those who like to keep it simple.
Whether you're in search of a bold eye palette to go all out with your makeup looks this month (or at least, even more than usual) or are on the hunt for a fresh autumn fragrance that captures the cosy vibes of this season, here are the best new beauty products to shop in October.
