- Top searched makeup is Zombie, Skeleton, Clown, Witch, and Vampire.
- Trending makeup includes Freddy Krueger, Venom, Black swan, and more.
Spooky candy: One of the most searched queries includes “best deals on halloween candy,” so if you’re in confectionery, try to think of similar deals for the season.
