These 10 mystical masks are hauntingly beautiful Halloween costumes in their own right

When it comes to Halloween costumes, you’ve probably gone the DIY route, the sexy route (we’ve all been there!), the lazy route, and the anti-costume route at some point in your life. Right? We get it. You’ve got to dress up for this thing every. single. year. And we know that requires a lot of creativity.

Well, if you’re looking for a costume that’s equal parts gorgeous and simple, you may like what we’re about to suggest: mystical, mysterious, masquerade masks.

We’re not talking DIY dog-face filters or scary AF horror movie masks, these elegant disguises are more Great Gatsby than The Shining — and they’re ideal for anyone who has no time to shower, let alone craft an award-winning costume.
