Bring sexy and pretty back this Halloween by going as a fairy or a wood nymph. You'll certainly stand out from the sea of vampires and Lady Gaga impersonators. While Halloween is about spooky costumes and creepy makeup, going as a pixie adds a dose of fun and perkiness to the mix.
When it comes to clubbing makeup, the crazier the better. Because clubs tend to have very dim lighting (and lots of girls dressed to the nines hoping to impress), your ordinary nudes and natural makeup simply won't show up.
Is this how a modern geisha would look like? We don't know about that, but this avant garde makeup look sure is inspired by the simultaneously refined and intensely hued colors of geisha makeup. Intense cranberry red lips and pale skin make this look sweet and refined, while the crazy long red false eyelashes add a modern twist.
If you've ever been to the Harajuku district of Japan then you know that nothing is off limits to Japanese girls (and sometimes guys) when it comes to makeup. Whether they're dolled up in the Lolita style or the slightly racist Ganguro style (in which girls dress up as black-faced "average American teenager"), makeup shows off each person's personality.

Poison Ivy is one of our favorite female antagonists from "Batman." Sure, girl was a little crazy about her precious plants, but she was hot as hell and wore cute, skimpy outfits that flaunted her bodacious curves. She was also pretty damn gorgeous, all the more perfect for ensnaring her victims.
With Halloween coming up in a matter of weeks, it's more important than ever to know how to get your makeup to STAY. While you can always slap on primer to get even the boldest makeup colors to adhere to your skin for hours, getting glitter to stay on your skin is a whole other problem.
"Clockwork Orange," Stanley Kubrick's oddball crime film, features several teenage characters whose intentions are...questionable, to say the least. After all, Alex DeLarge, the main character of the story, sociopathically rapes a few women in his youth, runs around with a gang, and takes drugs.
Beyonce honestly looks drop dead gorgeous with or without makeup, but she looks just about heavenly when she puts her best face forward for a movie or red carpet premiere. In the movie "Dreamgirls" Beyonce got to have a lot of fun with sparkly, deeply hued '70s makeup.
Even though the film has been out for 4 years now, and Antoinette for over 200, there's no reason why you should dress up like Marie Antoinette for Halloween, just like Kirsten Dunst from the movie. If you're interesting, this two-part tutorial will show you how to apply the makeup and style your hair for your upcoming Halloween bash.
Traveling often is super fun, but sitting through 13 hours on the flight from California to Bangkok is killer on your skin, especially since the airplane recycles air and therefore dries out your skin.
For most of us, putting on makeup is a real drag in the mornings. Don't get us wrong: We love looking not fatally ill when we head into the office, but when your eyes can barely stay open and it's still dark outside, applying foundation is the last thing we want to do.
Lady Gaga is not exactly known for her natural makeup and carefree style. After all, the singer wore an opalescent galaxy dress - equipped with a huge star hand accessory - to the Grammys, and wore a telephone on her head for her "Telephone" music video.

Eye makeup doesn't have to be super complicated or take half an afternoon to do in order to be bold and beautiful. In fact, there are many ways you can simplify your makeup routine, cut out colors, and save time while still making your eyes pop.
We all love our go-to neutral makeup colors: they're the basis of our makeup collection and, like an LBD, look good no matter how bloated we feel - and look - and no matter what the occasion. But as Cyndi Lauper famously said in her song, sometimes "girls just wanna have fun."
Neutral, universally flattering colors should be the bread and butter of both your makeup collection and makeup routine. Not that we're not a fan of bright and bold hues; it's just that neutrals like taupe, ecru, and smokey grays make every gal look fantastic, no matter her skin tone or eye color.

But for her recent ad campaign for Dolce and Gabanna makeup, she totally turned up the bombshell factor and went all out with sizzling Sophia Loren-inspired eyes and plush nude lips.
Natural makeup looks good during the day, at your business meeting (so you look gorgeous rather than tacky), at the gym (if you're one of those gals who refuse to leave the house without makeup), and at the club (if you switch up your nude lipcolor for a more vibrant one, like coral or blue red).
