Halloween mask

Most people spend a small fortune on their Halloween costumes but forget all about their faces. Makeup is great but masks are awesome too and will give your Halloween outfit that perfect finish. Complete your costume effect with an authentic and super scary or funny mask for top marks this Halloween.

It's important to remember that when it comes to masks, you don't need to go for something that covers your whole head, sometimes just an eye mask or eye patch will do the trick or even just some funky contact lenses. It all depends on your costume and of course your budget. No point breaking the bank if you don't need to.

There are loads of cool sites that sell some very realistic looking Halloween masks but we've narrowed it down to just the best of the bunch. Obviously Amazon.co.uk always has a decent selection of things like this but if you really want that professional look as though you've escaped from a set of a popular horror flick, sites like The Horror Drome (pretty pricey but worth every penny) and Halloween Costumes is where you want to be looking.
